ScoutThese campground is a great find. The sites are well spaced, and while on the smaller side they’re very private with woods between each one. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The other campers were all respectful and observed pet policy and quiet hours. I have a reactive dog and he did well here! We’ll be back!
TravelerThere 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.
GuideWhat a gem! We found this place as an alternative to staying in DC during 4th of July festivities. Nice spacious sites, cabins were super clean and smelled great! Did I mention they were air conditioned during the hotest week of the summer!
Bathrooms and showers were spotless.
Many things to see and do there. Historic property, big lake (no swimming), boating, fishing, hiking. There is an Art Center with juried displays for sale.
LegendWe 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
GuideGreat spot right next to the Rappahannock River, plenty of place to set up camp. Had water on site with a fire pit and picnic table too! It was super easy to get down to the water and there was plenty of spots to explore. Would definitely go again!
GuideWe 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.
GuideGreat 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!
ScoutWas 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.
ScoutThis 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
Glamping options abound within 30 miles of Clinton, Maryland, with alternatives ranging from tent sites to full hookup RV locations. The area sits at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, creating diverse camping environments from riverside locations to wooded settings. Winter temperatures average 30-45°F while summer months typically reach 75-90°F with moderate humidity.
Fossil hunting expeditions: Head to Westmoreland State Park Campground where the Potomac River shoreline offers unique opportunities to find prehistoric shark teeth. "We came from Pa/De and wanted to look for sharks teeth. It was beautiful here so we decided to stay the night," shares Sara A., highlighting the spontaneous appeal of this activity.
Disc golf courses: Several parks offer disc golf within 30 minutes of Clinton. "I'd recommend taking in a game of disc golf on their 18 hole course," suggests Rachel L. about Pohick Bay Regional Park. The courses accommodate various skill levels with dedicated tee boxes and challenging terrain.
Boating and water activities: Local parks provide boat rentals and water access points during warmer months. "Boating in summer from kayaks to motorboats" is available according to Anne K., who visited Pohick Bay Regional Park. Most rental facilities operate from April through October with hourly rates starting around $15.
Private camping experiences: While many campgrounds near Clinton can get crowded, some offer more secluded options. At Burke Lake Park, Drew H. notes "i've camped here too many times to count, love being surrounded by nature!" The park maintains wooded sites that create natural separation between campers.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness ranks high on camper priorities. At Bull Run Regional Park, Roberta K. observed "Bath houses are clean and well maintained." Most campgrounds in the area offer shower facilities with hot water, though availability may be limited during peak summer weekends.
DC accessibility: Many campers appreciate the proximity to Washington DC attractions. Josh J. commented about Pohick Bay Regional Park: "Stayed here for 2w while visiting friends in Alexandria. Took me 25-30m to get there so you are far away from bustle of city but not so far that going in to enjoy breakfast or the sights is a feat."
Reservation requirements: Most glamping near Clinton requires advance booking, especially during peak season. At Washington DC / Capitol KOA, one reviewer mentions following an employee to their site: "After checking in, I followed an employee (Darnell) in his golf cart to my RV spot, which was helpful and he was super nice."
Site levelness varies: Not all sites are naturally level, which affects both tent and RV camping. "Check out your site before booking, some sites are steep but spacious," advises Ben S. about Louise F. Cosca Regional Park. Some campgrounds offer wooden platforms for tent camping to address this issue.
Seasonal challenges: Weather impacts camping experiences year-round. "We tent camped there with 2 other families memorial day weekend. It rained the entire time but we still had a blast," shares Yvonne B. about Bull Run Regional Park, demonstrating how weather preparation matters even at established campgrounds.
Scheduled activities: Many campgrounds offer organized events for children. At Bull Run Regional Park, one family noted, "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."
Playground access: When selecting a site, consider proximity to play areas. At Lacy Oasis Campground, Terrance D. observed "My agency took about 25 children there last week and they did not want to leave, neither did I. The rates are very economical for what is being provided on the space."
Pool regulations: Before promising swimming to children, check pool policies. A reviewer at Washington DC / Capitol KOA noted: "I didnt like that non potty trained kids are not allowed to swim in their pool. Luckily we only have a 9 month old currently that isn't potty trained so she didn't care."
Site selection strategy: RV campers recommend requesting specific sites when possible. At Leesylvania State Park Campground, sites vary significantly in size and privacy. Though primarily tent-focused, several sites accommodate small to medium RVs with advance planning.
Electric hookup details: Not all advertised electric sites offer the same amperage. Anthony D. mentions about Westmoreland State Park: "We stayed on the B loop, the lot we reserved by only looking at a park map was nice a spacious for our popup." Most campgrounds offer 30-amp service, with fewer providing 50-amp connections.
Parking configurations: Site layouts impact RV positioning and comfort. Roberta K. notes about Westmoreland State Park Campground: "The sites are all pull-through off the roads through the campground. So your camper faces the woods and you feel like you're all alone."
