    Houck - Cunningham Falls State Park

    Great park, sites not close to anything

    The sites are very well maintained. Not a fan of kids running around through sites. The Elderberry and Deer Spring loops are no pets, but I’d like to see a no kids policy too. Kidding! In all seriousness, it’s very quiet and really can’t complain. Very well maintained. My only issue is the $9 firewood and the sites being far away from the lake and no trails connected to the campgrounds. Must drive to get to anything worth seeing.

    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.

    Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA

    Great area but tight sites

    Had a relaxing weekend here as our first trip of the season. Weather was pretty good but windy at times. We had 3 RVs in sites 12, 13, and 14 as well as 2 of the deluxe cabins. Our RV sites faced the large parking lot with dump station and registration building. Not an ideal view but it was okay. Site 13 had the best space. Site 12 was good too. Both had a concrete patio, great fire pit, and a round resin picnic table with 4 nice chairs. Site 14 was narrow and no patio. The area in the back had more wooded sites. They are expanding and creating more sites so there was some construction noise but that stopped by 4:30pm and not on the weekend. Campground was at capacity in the full hookup sites and seemed like it would’ve been noisy but it wasn’t. The cabins had a queen bed, 2 bunks, microwave and refrigerator and a small bathroom. That was a tight space but a bathroom none the less. There are bath houses too. Putt putt golf was free and they had a playground and bounce area for kids. There’s a pool that looked nice but not open yet and I saw an indoor basketball court sign. In season they offer a pancake breakfast most days and a small coffee shop. The store was well stocked with supplies, food, wine, and souvenirs and also offered coffee. Locally, you’ll find the town of Harpers Ferry, river rafting/tubing, and the Harpers Ferry brewery that has a gorgeous view and live music that’s just minutes away.

    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!

    Harpers Ferry Campground - River Riders

    Gorgeous - but Noisy!

    What a lovely spot for relaxation and some time in nature. Too bad the Marc train runs right above your head all night. If you are looking for a relaxing camp experience make sure to bring your noise cancelling headphones. It’s lovely to have a site right on the water. Unfortunately that area of the river has a very muddy/mucky bottom so you will need to walk (not far) down to the rocky entrance so you don’t lose your water shoes. I recommend bringing a float and spending your day relaxing out on the water. The site itself has a fire pit and picnic table which was great. There was also a bathroom facility very close by. We were on site 2 and 3 and it was a bit of a hike to the showers. Overall though, when the train comes barreling by at 1am, 2am and 3am you either laugh or you cry depending on how tired you are.

    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

Guide to Chevy Chase

Glamping opportunities near Chevy Chase, Maryland provide access to the rolling Piedmont region terrain with elevations ranging from 300-450 feet above sea level. Seasonal considerations affect camping conditions significantly, with humid summers reaching 90°F and mild springs and falls offering ideal camping weather between 60-80°F. Winter camping options remain available at several locations despite occasional snowfall averaging 20 inches annually in the region.

What to do

Fishing and boating adventures: Burke Lake Park offers multiple water-based activities just 30 minutes from Chevy Chase. "BLP has a great lake for fishing and boat rentals, a paved path to walk around the lake (about 5 miles) and a fantastic playground," notes Alexis in their review of Fairfax County Burke Lake Park.

Historical exploration: Civil War sites and historic landmarks surround camping areas within day-trip distance. "This park is centrally located between Annapolis, Baltimore, and DC. This trip we spent most of our time in DC and only went to Annapolis one night. But there is a ton to do around the cities with or without kids," explains Stephanie H. at Washington DC / Capitol KOA.

Hiking trail networks: Several parks maintain extensive trail systems with various difficulty levels. "There is a very nice network of trails, most if not all were leashed dog friendly," writes Ray & Terri F. about their stay at Little Bennett Campground.

What campers like

Transit convenience: Access to Washington DC attractions represents a major advantage for campers. "Proximity to DC and surrounding areas can't be beat. Uber, Lyft, bus, shuttle. It takes about a half hour to get downtown to the monuments. Our uber rides ranged from 20-45$ for a family of 5," explains Jennifer H. about Cherry Hill Park.

Wildlife viewing: Eagle sightings and woodland creatures enhance the camping experience. "Beautiful campground located near the National Harbor. Eagles everywhere! Large clean sites. Great staff!" says Kathie M. about her stay at Pohick Bay Campground.

Level sites with separation: Campers appreciate thoughtfully designed camping areas. "The sites are quiet, very spacious, level, and heavily wooded with 50A service, water and sewer hookup," notes Ray & Terri F. about Little Bennett Campground, indicating good site design for privacy.

What you should know

Off-season advantages: Visiting during shoulder seasons means fewer crowds. "Stayed here for 2w while visiting friends in Alexandria. Nice and quiet here during winter more so during week than weekends," Josh J. mentions about Pohick Bay Campground.

Weather preparedness: The region experiences distinct seasonal variations requiring appropriate gear. Sites can become muddy after heavy rain, and tree coverage affects satellite reception at some locations.

Bathroom facilities: Comfort amenities vary significantly between campgrounds. "Bathrooms are clean, their are 2 stalls and 1 shower, cleaned daily by park rangers," according to Tye S. about Louise F. Cosca Regional Park, while other locations feature more extensive facilities.
