Best Glamping near Beallsville, MD

We are staying here now and enjoying our time. It’s true glamping with yurts, cabins, multiple pools, a hot tub and mini golf. We are staying in the cabin sides and enjoying it.

Cherry Hill Park was easy to find and get to basically right off I-95. This was our first time RVing into the WA DC area and we were concerned about traffic getting to the campground(CG). As we arrived, traffic was heavy on I-95 but manageable. Cherry Hill’s and our RV GPS directions were spot on getting us to the park. We were very impressed with this CG from the moment we entered. We picked up our package outside the office(no contact check-in) and went to premium site 93 with FHUs. Back-in was easy. The wifi was very good but the CG was only about a 1/4 full. Cherry Hill has many different ways to stay; cottages, cabins, yurts, glamping pods, premium and regular tent sites in addition to the RV sites. As we looked around we found that all of the sites, regardless of amenities, were spaced about the same. There are a few sites in the CG on the end that will give you a little more yard space like 97(need to be a competent backer), 402, and 1723. We got 2 bars each on Verizon and AT&T. The CG’s cable provided a large selection of channels and worked well. We were impressed with the main laundry facility due to the amount of large washers and dryers, very fair pricing and very clean. The two off leash dog parks(in the same area) were nice plus there’s a well maintained walking trail that goes around this very large CG’s perimeter. We really liked how there are trash receptacles and dog poopy bag dispensers nicely placed all over the CG. Though we didn’t use it, they even have a dog walker service so you can spend a lot of time exploring the DC area without worrying about your pups. About the only draw back was the road noise from the interstate and highway pretty much 24/7, but considering the area that is to be expected. Sites 13-38 and 1500 sites near the premium tent area are the farthest away from the road noise. We would definitely stay here again.

Little Bennett has spacious RV and tent sites as well as cabins and yurts. It's very clean and well maintained. Lots of hiking within the park and many activities for kids. We were very impressed by their covid safety. Will be back!

Quiet woods in Maryland about 30 or 40 miles north of DC. Tenting, and RV spots partial to full service. Just of hiway 270. pricey ($66/night) for a state park, but nice.

Lots af amenities, and very clean. A lady with the staff, gives visitors a lengthy orientation to Washington, tours, restaurants, Metrorail, parking, museums, and monuments. Metrorail is about 6 miles from campground, near University of Maryland.

This campground isn't too far from our home in Maryland, so if they have room and we want to go spur of the moment, this one is a good choice.  The sites are fairly large and they do have some full hook up sites which is nice.  The bathhouses are ok....because this one is not as off the beaten path, I think a lot of people that really don't know campground etiquette come here.  We find that people don't understand quiet after 10PM and so forth.  Like I said, it's just a nice place to get away to.

This campground is about 25 sites. Only 5 sites have electric (2, 5, 18, 24, 25)but all 25 sites have water hookup. Weekends are some what noisy because of the games across the street in the park. This is not a gated campground so anyone can come through and have a tour. Park Police patrol the campground 2 times a day. Also the bathrooms are clean, their are 2 stalls and 1 shower, cleaned daily by park rangers. Raccoons run wild at night flipping trash can lids on your campsite hunting for food. Use repel spray to keep the raccoons off your site. Site 24 and 25 are very close together but the other sites are at a distance however, 6 of the 25 sites are unleveled so tent camping is probably the only option. This is not big rig friendly but there are pull through sites but the roads are very narrow and there is only 1 way in and 1 way out (same entrance) there is a dump station at the beginning of the campground with access to water as well. Free of charge. This is a quiet campground and it's cheap for maryland residents and about $20 for non-resident. There is no registration on site it's online only. www.pgparksdirect.com

Went here during the week and the tent sites where pretty empty. The facilities are well kept. My only complaint is I could here the traffic from the highway on the A loop. Otherwise my stay was quiet and pleasant.

I called for my reservation the lady hung up on me and was quite rude... i called back four times and they hung up on me twice, and never answered again. She wouldn’t give me her name.

My family loves this camp ground. It’s conveniently located, it’s quite, it’s beautiful and there is plenty to do to keep the kids busy.

Brought our 5 and 7 year old kids here on a Dad’s weekend. Camping sites are standard and well spaced out. Bathroom facilities were very clean and I’d say even better maintained than most. Kids love this place because of the other activities like laser tag and the cart track. I wondered why a camp site needs these things and the fact is they don’t. But when I ask which camp site my kids had the most fun at, they said Little Bennet because of the activities. We prefer hiking as a family and staying away from crowds and this camp site wasn’t crowded or felt busy. It’s a quick drive from NOVA but just far enough where you feel away from it all.

I don’t think they need to show movies at night. Live music or something more interactive like a bon fire would help elevate the experience.

For a quick getaway that isn't far, Little Bennett is a great campground.

The staff is very helpful (they were great about helping me aid a lost 6 year old in finding his father).  They've got nice hiking trails, an adequate camp store (with a milkshake machine), a jumping pillow and other activities for kids. They even do outdoor movies. 

The campground is easily accessible in case you need to run out for forgotten supplies. Campsites are spacious and bathrooms, etc. are nearby.

Perfect for anyone, especially families.

Jumping pillow, pedal carts, weekend activities, camp store and outlets 10 min away. Wal-Mart 15 min away. Ice sold on location. Staff very friendly. Bathrooms kept clean.

Great campground. A bit pricey, but has a full hookup loop. Other loops are tent only. Wonderful bath house. Lots of stuff to do.

we stayed here in july of 2017 and july of 2016 to go to dc cause its only a few min drive to the metro stop they have jump pellow for the kids and peddle cars very fun nice wooded sights just with they had full hookups only electric

we visited in June 2017 at which time this park only had primitive sites or electric sites. the price is expensive for a state park. while the sites were a nice size, the amenities are limited by amount and by time. jumping pillow and pedal cars are only open at certain hours. there is no swimming pool or lake. this campground is very close to DC and lots of shopping and Clarksburg upscale outlets.

They girls that register you are nice but don’t seem to understand much about rvs. This place is packed on weekends and so far we’ve had to move our 37’ motorhome 4 times. Our first space was too short and sloping to get level plus the sewer drain pipe was higher than our hose. What flows uphill? The pull through space next to us was occupied by a small travel trailer and had tons of extra room. Our next space was ok but had to move out for weekend reservations. D loop is set up with water electric and sewer, all new including several spaces just dug out less than 2weeks ago. We were assigned a space in A loop (best for tents or small TT) that we couldn’t possibly fit in finally was able to change to a space we could squeeze into for a couple days of dry camping and now we’re back in D loop were we can barely fit the rv and car has to be crosswise. This campground is apparently owned and run by Montgomery County MD. It is galling to pay so much money for a site to be shuffled around and put into unfit spaces. Weekends are noisy way past 10 pm with kids etc. plus the interstate traffic noise. On the plus side it is wooded and sites are not too close together. On the minus side the bathrooms are horrifically dirty. They have some sort of excuse but that just isn’t good enough. The shower curtains are moldy vinyl that could be replaced for a few bucks each. The fixtures are moldy also and live and dead spiders and insects inhabit the corners. The only place to put your dry clothes and towels is on a questionable bench about 10 feet from the shower stall and closed off from the sink area by a dirty shower curtain that doesn’t go all the way across so basically you have to run around naked in sight of anyone that comes in. Each loop has only 2 showers plus the privacy issue. We are only here because we have family business to attend to.
