[quote=Anonymous]Shenandoah has cabins, I believe they're at a place called Loft Mountain.

But here is another perspective.  It might not work because you say your husband isn't into camping either, but here goes.  I am not into it.  Definitely a more city person, but my husband is and grew up doing it.  We've taken the kids a few times, and I'm always glad we did.  It's a pain on some levels, but they kids love it so much, and there is something really nice about waking up in the morning in the woods and making a cup of coffee over s camp stove.  I haven't grown to embrace it and don't like it for more than one or two nights at a time, but you may find that you like camping (for example, car camping in Shenandoah) more than you realize.

That said, the cabin concept is a good compromise.  We once went to a place called Lost River State Park in West Virginia that was very nice and stayed in a cabin.  There is horseback riding there too.  Hot showers, kitchen, etc. but generally in the woods and in nature.  It was about two hours drive away and not very expensive.  So perhaps that would be a nice first step?

I agree that you want to stay away from the commercial campgrounds like Jellystone, KOA, etc.  Go to state or national parks.  Greenbrier and Cunningham Falls in Maryland might be nice for a kid who likes fishing.  Both have lakes.

Good luck![/quote]
