    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Brandywine, Maryland, with options ranging from full-hookup RV parks to electric-only campground sites. Cherry Hill Park in College Park provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections on level pads. Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp features big rig-friendly sites, though one reviewer noted that "some sites are a little unlevel, front to rear, but definitely manageable." Prince William Forest RV Campground offers pull-through sites for most RVs but has limited space for larger vehicles. Cedarville State Forest provides electric hookups with 30-amp service but no water hookups directly at sites, requiring campers to fill tanks at spigots located around the camping loop.

    Most campgrounds near Brandywine remain open year-round, though Smallwood State Park operates seasonally from March to October. Dump stations are available at most locations, with Cherry Hill Park, Fort Belvoir, and Camp Meade RV Park offering full sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service varies throughout the region but remains generally reliable at established RV parks. Pet policies differ between facilities - while most allow pets in the campground areas, some restrict pets from recreational areas. The proximity to Washington DC creates both advantages and challenges, with easy access to urban attractions balanced against occasional traffic congestion when arriving or departing. Leveling blocks are recommended at several parks, particularly at Cedarville State Forest where, according to one camper, "our site was very flat and easy to back a 30' RV into" despite the campground's small size.

      Ramblin' Pines

      Good location to Baltimore/Frederick Attractions

      We stay at Ramblin Pines because it is close to family and a good proximity to visiting Baltimore and Frederick. The campground is quite large with lots of seasonal sites but there are some transient spaces that can accommodate big-rigs. In addition to RV sites, there are tent sites and cabins. 

      We stayed in one of the transient sites (#FR14) across from the RV storage lot. It was a long gravel back-in with 50-amp FHU. The water hook-up is in a pit so it doesn’t freeze so look under the cover. It can be a bit difficult to reach and you have to get on the ground to hook-up. Based on the location of the spigot, we were not able to attach our water filter (we drank the tap water anyway and it was good). The electric worked fine and were able to reach the sewer with our 20’ hose. The view out of our front window was of the storage lot which was not the most scenic. However, parking in the FR row is the easiest place for big-rigs to park since some roads in the park are tight and hard to navigate with the trees and with the two-way traffic. 

      There are lots of amenities and it seems some people come here for the activities and things to do. It is a destination for many campers. They have lots of themed events, the most popular being the entire month of October celebrating like Halloween. They set up a haunted walk through the woods, have pumpkin carving, trick or treating, a costume contest, haunted hayride, and site decoration contest every weekend. If you want to camp on the weekends– book early because we found it very difficult to get a reservation during October and you have to pay in full and there are no refunds for cancellations. Other weekends have live music, bingo, hayrides, cornhole tournaments, crafts, and more. Basically, there is something every weekend. 

      Huge fishing pond, shuffleboard, horseshoes, large dog park with agility, game room, playgrounds, jump pillow, heated swimming pool, and exercise room (which was decent but didn’t have a television to occupy your time), 18-hole mini golf. A short but nice hiking trail winds through the woods and is nice for walking dogs. There is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables for big gatherings. There is free Wi-Fi but it doesn’t reach sites in the back of the campground. Wi-Fi is great if you are near the office/store. The camp store is fairly large with some food/beverage items, t-shirts, large amount of RV supplies, and misc. other items. There is a coffee maker with free coffee.

      Prince William Forest RV Campground — Prince William Forest Park

      Convenient

      Campground is close (ish) to the DC area. It is easy and convenient to get to. Almost all sites are pull through and are close together. Most have some tree cover (and some of the trees could use a trim along the roads). Some long term guests occupy the back sites which have sewer.

      Close to Prince William Forest which is a fantastic National Parks forest.

      Att coverage is good.

      Playground is nice.

      Bull Run Regional Park

      Great Stay at Bull Run Reg. Park

      Great Park, friendly staff, clean facilities. We stayed with our Pop Up for two nights at an electric -supported site. Portable water and dumping station located at the camp store. We stayed at site 146 on the first caul-de-sac off the first loop just another site away from the bath house (which was pretty clean). We got rained on the first night so things got a little muddy but nothing out of hand. Tons of free activities for the kiddos facilitated by the camp staff over the weekends. Face-painting, ice cream sundaes, S'Mores, hay rides and a rock wall. Park has a lot of things to do as well just outside the campground. We took a try at disc golf which was a lot of fun. Pet friendly. We'll be back!

      Greenbelt Park Campground — Greenbelt Park

      Close to DC, Quiet, and Pretty

      Greenbelt, MD: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 4.5 Price: About $12 w our senior pass. Usage during visit: 50 % during week Site Privacy: Most inner loop sites are not very good. However, our inner loop site was very private. Most inner loop sites lack privacy. Pull Through” sites are more like pull over sites. The picnic table privacy is often not very good for the pull over sites. This is because the adjacent back in site is deeper with picnic table not blocked by the trailer.
      Site Spacing: Some are close. Check the map. Site surface: black top Reservations: Yes. We were able to change our site upon arrival on Rec.gov. Campground Noise: Very quiet.
      Road Noise: None Through Traffic: Not a problem if the site is in a loop. Electricity: No Water: Available at a few spigots and at the washbasins at the bathrooms Sewer: No Dump: Yes Generators: 6AM till 10PM Bathroom: Old but clean. Showers: Old but clean. Cirtains Pull Throughs: Some “pull over spots”. I have a pic or two of good ones in the D loop.
      Cell Service (Verizon): Great. Setting: 10 mins from subway for DC access. Great way to get to DC. Located in a deciduous forest serving as a pleasant getaway for locals.
      Weather: It was cool during our stay.
      Bugs: No problems yet. Solar: Most sites are not adequate.
      Host: They are friendly and very courteous. Notes: Amazing that there is such a pretty place so close to DC. This must be a great getaway for locals . …. We did not walk the park trails , but there are some.

      Louise F. Cosca Regional Park

      Nice small campground

      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

      Cherry Hill Park

      Awesome Campground near Washington, D.C.

      We had another great stay at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD. 

      We stayed in a level pull-thru site(#1715) with picnic table on a paver patio, iron table and chairs, clean gravel surface, grill, and fire pit. The site was just big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service all worked fine. 

      If you’re visiting Washington, this is the place to stay. They offer a daily charter bus plus the Metro bus stops at the campground entrance. And if you have a car, it’s about 35-minutes drive time(maybe a bit longer with traffic). 

      To be honest, it’s a great place to stay even if you’re not visiting D.C. They have two swimming pools, a cafe, playgrounds, well-stocked camp store, delivery of firewood, ice, and cafe orders, and a concierge to help with travel and tourist sites. 

      The entire park is clean and well-maintained. 

      THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

      1. Proximity to Washington, D.C. 

      2. Excellent condition and clean 

      3. Great staff to help with making the most of your stay

      Oak Ridge Campground — Prince William Forest Park

      Spacious Sites

      Oak Ridge NP unit in Prince Williams Forest Park: what a beautiful place to spend the fall day. It’s quiet, not very busy at all, and nice sites. This is a pretty good place to be if you’re going to visit DC. This is our second time and that’s what we did on our last stay here. However, Greenbelt common north east of DC, is a much better place for DC visit. There, you can take the train shuttle into the city was a short drive from the campground. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. Overall Rating: 4.5 Price 2023: $10 w interagency pass Usage during visit: very low Site Privacy: sites are in an open Oak Forest Site Spacing: Great. Very large sites Site surface: blacktop. Reservations: Required Campground Noise: Very quiet, both of our stays. Road Noise: none. This campground is far into the forest off, away from public road. Through Traffic in campground: no reason for through traffic. Electric Hookup: no. Sewer Hookup: no. Dump Station: no. Potable Water Available: Yes. There is a water Spicket at the bathrooms. There is also a wash station room attached to the bathrooms. Generators: allowed. Bathroom: clean. Showers: not in all bathrooms. Ever, there is a very clean shower/bathroom facility near the handicap spot, A25. Pull Throughs: Not sure. Did not see any. Cell Service (AT&T): 1 to 2 bars. Setting: deep into a beautiful Oak Forest. Weather: a very nice fall day. Highs in the 70s lows in the 50s Bugs: no mosquitoes. Too cold. Solar: doesn’t look like there will be enough sunshine through the trees for a good, fixed, solar panel, solar absorption. Host: not sure if one is present. Rig size: large rigs are OK. Nice deep sites. Just be careful what you say you choose Sites: I have pictures of very nice sites located near our campsite. Looks to me almost all sites are large and spacious. Some sites do not have picnic tables placed as well as they could be. Other than that the sites are fantastic.

      Lake Fairfax Campground

      Weekend Trip

      Stayed for two nights with another family. They brought their travel trailer and our pop-up. The outer loop campsites are easily more level than the center loop. If leveling perfectly is a concern you may want to call ahead and ask before commiting to the inner loop. Electric hookup only. Bathhouse was very clean and the staff friendly. Water fill & Dump Station on the beach side of the bathhouse. This is a State Park so it's filled with activities. Great place to mountain bike as we noticed several groups camping and biking during our stay. We enjoyed the water park immensely. Ten of us in total with kids ranging from 18 months old to 13 years old. Everyone enjoyed the water park and the time we spent there. additional fee for access to the water park.

      Joint Base Andrews Military FamCamp

      Could be a great campground but......

      There are some good things about this Famcamp. It's like a diamond in the rough. If the military would spend some time and money on it, it could be a great campground. One of the greatest points about this campground is its location. You are so close to downtown D.C.! Every RV site (as far as I saw) was a level concrete pad. All sites, except for tent sites, have full electricity. Most sites have sewer and water. Sites 12-18 should be mainly used for the smaller travel trailers. I had an interesting time getting my 35' 5th wheel into the site. Even though I got my RV into the site, I don't have much room for my truck. My site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a grill. Everything is rusted beyond repair. My grill was filled with cigarette butts and my fire pit had trash in it. There is some shade. My site has two trees at the front of the pad on both sides of the RV. My bedroom stays nice and cold and I have a good view for my Starlink in the rear. The sites are close to each other, but there is some space. The good thing is that we are surrounded by the golf course. You don't get much noise from the base, because of the location, and because the FamCamp is surrounded by trees. You can hear the busy road outside the fence but I don't hear it much inside the RV. Every once in a while you'll hear an aircraft... but this is an air base, it's expected. We were told the community laundry was not working and to use the base laundry mat. Finally, one of the best parts about the campground, is the lady at outdoor rec that is in charge of the Famcamp. She is very nice and helpful. She will try to assist you with anything you need from directions to useful tips.

    Guide to Brandywine

    RV camping near Brandywine, Maryland offers access to multiple state forests and regional parks within a 30-mile radius. The area sits at the transition between Maryland's coastal plain and piedmont regions, resulting in varied terrain for campers to explore. Winter camping options remain plentiful with several year-round facilities, though water access at unheated spigots can be limited during freezing temperatures.

    What to do

    Hiking and nature trails: Prince William Forest RV Campground connects to Prince William Forest, providing extensive trail access. According to visitor Laura G., "Adjacent to Prince William Forest, near shops and restaurants, and less than an hour away from Washington, DC. Good nature getaway from the city. The downside is that there are no trails accessible onsite and the campground is pretty close to main road."

    Water activities: Smallwood State Park offers direct water access for boating and fishing. One visitor notes, "Mattawoman Creek is right there and great for kayaking. We'll definitely be back!!" The park's marina and multiple docks create easy access points for anglers and boaters alike.

    Historical exploration: Bull Run Regional Park provides access to Civil War sites and battlefields. As one camper mentions, "Civil War National Parks nearby. DC just up the road. National Marine Corp Museum just around corner." The area's rich military history creates opportunities for educational day trips.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Cherry Hill Park maintains high cleanliness standards throughout their grounds. A camper noted, "Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. We loved the brick patio with patio furniture. Close to plenty of attractions." Multiple visitors highlighted the well-maintained bathhouses and shower facilities.

    Privacy between sites: Cedarville State Forest offers good site separation despite its small size. One visitor mentioned, "Very well maintained, nice sites that aren't right on top of one another. Multiple loops for groups or individuals." The forest setting provides natural barriers between camping areas.

    Recreational amenities: Thousand Trails Harbor View provides on-site entertainment options for campers. A visitor shared, "They have Saturday night communal bonfires, but we didn't go check that out. Site was spacious, level and shady. The site next to ours had perfect hammock trees too!" The campground's pool, playground and scheduled activities create options beyond standard camping.

    What you should know

    Military base requirements: Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp requires military credentials for entry. A visitor explained, "This campground is aboard Fort Belvoir, an US Army base in Northern, VA. It is very clean and there are many amenities close by." Similar restrictions apply at other military campgrounds in the area.

    Seasonal considerations: Smallwood State Park has limited operating months. "Very nice camping areas. Nice trails, water sports available, and historic landmarks," notes one camper, but the park only operates from March to October, making advance planning essential.

    Insect preparation: Cedarville State Forest requires extra tick protection. A camper warned, "LOTS and LOTS of ticks. I got one, but my wife and dog got about a dozen each. Just bring tweezers." Another noted, "Bring bug and tick spray - definitely need it! We hiked the brown trail and it was a nice walk."
