    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

    Bull Run Regional Park

    Expensive for what you get; and drainage problems.

    We have found municipal campgrounds in Northern Virginia are a bit spendy for being government sponsored.  Not as bad as South Carolina, but way more than Florida.  Fine.  Comes with the territory.  But Bull Run manages to goose you even more.  There are occupancy AND transaction fees that really add up if you're only there a few nights.  But the real kicker is a 2-night minimum stay.  Even mid-week.  In APRIL for gosh sakes!

    While we were here, there was a fairly heavy day of rain.  Couple inches, I suppose, but nothing Biblical.  The mouths of the metal culverts in our loop were bent downward from campers driving over them, which obstructed the flow.  Result was lots of standing water at our campsite.

    We're done with NOVA Parks campgrounds.  Better cost options exist with Fairfax County Parks.

    Brunswick City Campground

    Brunswick Family Campground/ Fun for all

    Great family or Couples getaway! This location is very welcome with the friendly staff and large sites for tents or RVs. We had easy access to the electric and water. Plus enough room for a large tent. There was a fire pit and picnic table for every site. We had a great view of the river which was just a short walk away. You can walk down into the river or go up river some to go tubing! Overall we had a great time here and will come back again.

    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!

    Bull Run Regional Park

    No truck bed tents or campers allowed

    Was excited to try first night out in a Kodiak Canvas Truck Bed Tent. Unfortunately, learned NOVA Parks regards anything in a truck bed whether a camper or tent is not welcome. I didn't realize NOVA Parks considers this campground as a resort and vehicle camping - ither than a class A or B - implies homeless and they don't want that image. They do also allow a travel trailer and tents can only be used on the ground not in a truck bed as designed. Beautiful park ... I live nearby in Arlington but was frustrated not able to use a nearby Park and Campground I pay taxes to support. I used another Campground in Fairfax County that was welcoming.

    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

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Camping with your friends, whether you bring your own or not

    This review is specific to the non-electric tent sites.

    From a services available view, their staff is visible and around to help.  Bathrooms, "Comfort Stations", could use some cleaning more frequently but I've seen a lot worse.  Big trash bin near the comfort stations, convenient.   Definitely a well stocked camp store, its obvious they cater to beginner and family camping.  You are NOT permitted to use deadfall at this park, must bring locally purchased USDA wood yourself or buy from camp store.

    There are comfort stations and trash bins close to every non-electric camp site, an easy sub-200 yard walk for me, but that fact is also where my disappointment starts.  The non-electric camp sites in some cases, appear to share a single area, fire pits 10 feet apart from each other, one flat area, barely a full length truck can fit in the parking available at each site they are so close to the road.  If you whisper,  your neighbors will easily hear close.   A big part of camping for me is the peace and quiet of nature.  THIS IS NOT THAT CAMPSITE.  It is extremely compact and close to each other.  Snoring of your neighbor is definitely an issue no matter which site you choose, except for maybe 138 as was said in another review.

    The gravel road into the campsites,  is a RESIDENTIAL road.  Yes, there are houses at the end of the road these campsites are ON.  Not off of, on.  Now mostly that wasn't a big deal, cars moving through during the day, early evening.  But that one guy that sat with his high beams on pointed directly into my tent late night for a solid minute or two before loudly accelerating through was a bit irritating. 

    This was a weeknight trip, there was only one other camper in this small campground with me so all in all, not a terrible trip but definitely not worth the cost and will not be visiting here again.

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Great spot around Northern Virginina

    We were here for just one night during September. Our first time camping in the area and since COVID. Check in process was relatively simple, just pull up and pop out of your car to check in, with mask of course. We got a quick run down, some wood and a brochure with maps and area info. We were at site 133, non electric non water. I feel like the spots at the end of each loop might have slightly more privacy, but our site was fine. It included a picnic table and probably the best fire pit with grill that I've had in a while. It rained the night before we came, and the night we were there so the ground was pretty wet. Bathrooms had a sign for taking care with COVID precautions, and to wear your mask. Bathrooms were ok, but floors were a mess from muddy feet. Not much to be done about that. There were showers, and a dishwashing sink, plus laundry available. It's nice to know we've got a close spot to escape to if we don't have time to go far. This is a pet friendly campground. There's a lot to do out at the whole park, and its worth exploring (we just didn't have time). I'm sure its so pretty out near the water.

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Good home base for exploring DC

    We stayed on the big loop on site 48. Unfortunately there wasn’t anything on ReserveAmerica specifying the water situation, so when we arrived we found that we didn’t have water hook up. I’m attaching a photo of the color map I got at checkout which specifies which sites have water.

    Bath house was cleaned regularly and was generally very clean (except footprints from people who came in while the floor was wet from mopping). Shower stalls and bathroom stalls were very small but water was hot. Laundry facility in the bath house, $2 per load, quarters. The camp store had most everything you could need and was open 8-8. Staff was all super friendly. They had numerous activities going on for kids.

    Definitely be prepared for bugs and ticks.

    Sites were shaded well but many didn’t have a lot of privacy from neighbors. Definitely a tad smaller than the photos online show. Our site was level.

    The raccoons and squirrels have no fear and will chew through plastic containers to get your food.


Guide to Brentwood

Close to Washington DC, Brentwood's glamping options occupy a suburban area with mature woodlands at approximately 46 feet above sea level. The area receives around 43 inches of rain annually, creating lush camping environments. Most campgrounds remain open from April through October, with limited winter availability due to Maryland's seasonal climate patterns.

What to Do

Metro access to DC attractions: Cherry Hill Park offers convenient transportation options. "The best park in the DC area! Plan and reserve your DC tours right at the campground. No need to drive anywhere, the tour buses pick you up at the park!" writes Jason E.

Explore local trails: At Pohick Bay Regional Park, campers can enjoy hiking without traveling far. "Nice camping spot close to DC with hiking nearby," notes Perry A. The park sits along the Potomac River, offering both water and land recreation.

Water activities: During summer months, several campgrounds offer water features. "Pirate's Cove waterpark is definitely a highlight in summer. Boating in summer from kayaks to motorboats," reports Anne K. about Pohick Bay's facilities.

Historical sites: The region provides access to significant Civil War battlefields. Bull Run Regional Park serves as a convenient base for history exploration. "Lots of history near by so check out the old battle fields and buildings that housed troops during civil war," suggests Daniel S.

What Campers Like

Premium site amenities: Most upscale glamping sites near Brentwood provide more than basic accommodations. "We had a premium site for seven nights. The site was perfectly level with a fire ring, grill, picnic table and table with three chairs," reports Jonathan B. about Cherry Hill Park.

Escape from urban environments: Despite proximity to DC, many sites offer peaceful settings. "This is definitely a family campground. So my activities for kids and places to run around," notes Anne K. about glamping options at Pohick Bay.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Natural settings attract various wildlife species. "Beautiful campground located near the National Harbor. Eagles everywhere! Large clean sites. Great staff!" explains Kathie M. about her experience at Pohick Bay.

Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds organize special events throughout the camping season. Bull Run offers "a campfire complete with s'mores followed by hayrides," according to Bridget H., making it popular for luxury camping close to Brentwood.

What You Should Know

Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites require advance booking, especially during peak season. At Little Bennett Campground, a visitor noted: "Out-of-state campers pay higher camping fee than Maryland residents, $66/night."

Noise considerations: Despite wooded settings, some campgrounds experience noise issues. "There is a shooting range in the park. It is on a flight path for DCA. And, I66 is not that far away," warns Drew M. about Bull Run Regional Park.

Weather impacts: Maryland's variable weather affects site conditions. "While we were here, there was a fairly heavy day of rain. Couple inches, I suppose, but nothing Biblical. The mouths of the metal culverts in our loop were bent downward from campers driving over them, which obstructed the flow. Result was lots of standing water at our campsite," reports Stuart O.

Access limitations: Some campgrounds have restricted entry procedures. Camp Meade RV Park requires military ID for entry, making it unavailable to general public glampers.

Tips for Camping with Families

Activity planning: Campgrounds with dedicated children's areas provide entertainment beyond standard amenities. "They have a jump pillow, mini golf, fishing pond, barnyard with goats, and multiple playgrounds," shares Sean M. about Ramblin' Pines.

Age-appropriate options: Different glamping sites cater to specific age groups. "The campground had a climbing wall on one afternoon. There are miles of trails and my gkids enjoyed the nature scavenger hunt. You even get a prize when you finish," reports Bridget H.

Budget considerations: Family glamping can involve additional costs beyond site fees. "This campground is byfar one of the best I have ever stayed at. The price is a little steep, but with all the amenities you get, it is well worth it," explains Jonathan B.

Transportation logistics: When visiting DC attractions, plan for travel time. "It takes about a half hour to get downtown to the monuments. Our uber rides ranged from 20-45$ for a family of 5. So $4-9 per person," shares Jennifer H.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Not all glamping sites accommodate larger vehicles equally. "Site#D69 level side-to-side but we were forced to greatly elevate front of trailer to level front-to-back," notes Napunani about Little Bennett Campground.

Privacy considerations: Site spacing varies significantly between campgrounds. "Tight spots but very big and clean park. Great for camping if u want to go into Washington DC," advises Amy B.

Hookup availability: Full service sites offer convenience but may cost more. "50 amp hook-up, Water, Sewer," lists Beth R. among the pros at Cherry Hill Park, though she notes it's "Expensive" in the cons section.

Seasonal operational differences: Services may change based on time of year. "Seasonal considerations include operating from April through October, with weekends requiring advance booking due to popularity," advises a regular camper at Little Bennett.
