      Point Lookout State Park - Temporarily Closed

      5 stars! Beautiful, clean, magical

      Magical stay at Point Lookout — New Tulip Loop (Full Hook‑Up) and I’m already planning a return. The whole park feels peaceful and safe, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and our site is clean and well‑maintained. The loop’s energy felt magical — quiet, restorative, and tucked into the trees so it felt private but not isolated. Full hookups were convenient and reliable; the site layout is roomy and pet‑friendly, with an easy walk to a beautiful dog beach so our pup had a blast. We walked to stunning beaches and spent afternoons watching water and sky at the tip of the peninsula — spectacular views where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake. The park’s Civil War history and lighthouse added fascinating, walkable sites to explore between beach time, giving the stay both recreation and depth. Clean facilities, helpful staff at the park office, and well-marked trails made everything low‑stress and enjoyable. If you want a peaceful, historic, pet‑friendly Class A spot with full hookups and gorgeous nearby beaches, Tulip Loop at Point Lookout is five stars from me.

      Prince William Forest RV Campground — Prince William Forest Park

      Great spot with hookups by PW park

      If you, like me, hate making reservations over the phone, it was worth it! Quick, simple, painless process. 

      Restrooms/showers: very clean, spacious, centrally located. My spot was in the back row and I didn't mind the walk 

      Lots: lots are really staggered/ set back from each other so feels like you have more space. Average lot size in general, but the set back feels like you have more space. It wasn't crowded either way, especially given on a weekend 

      Small pool 

      Wifi: don't plan on being able to have work zoom calls or really much on it for that matter 

      Cell service: I can confirm Verizon and Google fi have great service. I would imagine any other carrier would work just as well. 

      Area: the surrounding area is really bikeable 

      Hookups: I had a 30amp hookup with no issues. They also have up to 50amp full hookups. All of them looked well maintained. 

      Staff: super friendly; great check in experience They have a dog park but didn't get a chance to check it out. 

      Overall: great experience, would recommend

      Cherry Hill Park

      Impressive Campground

      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.

      Point Lookout State Park - Temporarily Closed

      Beautiful campground

      Beautiful campground. We were in Tulip loop with full hookups. Very private large sites. Wooded with tall pines. The stars were amazing! Could see the Milky Way and every star in the sky no light pollution. Nice beaches and pet beach for our dogs.

      Smallwood State Park Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED THROUGH JULY 2023

      Private sites with water views nearby

      These 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!

      Bay Shore Campground

      Nice place with awesome view

      This campground is perfect for a quiet visit to the Eastern shore town of Rock Hall as It sits conveniently between the village of Rock Hall and Eastern Neck sanctuary.  The area reserved for RV campsites overlooks a bluff on the Chesapeake Bay….gorgeous.  Because we went in the middle of the week, we had a lot of space to our self and open areas for our dog to play. Admittedly there isn’t a lot to do in the campground itself, even the bathrooms were closed down for Covid and only self contained RVs could camp.There is a small playground and a dog park, and a small pond for fishing. Sewer hook ups are not yet available but they are coming. Purchasing the WiFi access was a waste of money and our Verizon signal was very weak.  The biggest attraction is the view over the Bay.  So if you are looking for beautiful scenery and a cooling breeze this is a lovely and relaxing place. We met the owner who was very attentive to our needs and also helped us use the dump station as this was the maiden voyage with our new RV. The campground is clean and nicely landscaped.  Be sure to go into the town of rock Hall for a seafood dinner at Waterman’s.

      Greenbelt Park Campground — Greenbelt Park

      The park/ trails

      The park is located away from the camping grounds. It has two play grounds, several picnic tables and a bathroom. The bathroom is a average out door bathroom with no A.C. and the floor always seems to be wet, but I never had an issue with no toliet paper. The trails are maintained. You could tell there was even some work in progress spots. Wish there were some doggie bag stations just for the trash can. The trail comes close to the road enough times that it could be a great add for a visitor who brings pets and staff would not have to hike in to hike out a bag of garbage.

    Guide to Huntingtown

    Huntingtown, Maryland sits within a transitional ecosystem where coastal plain meets Piedmont forest, creating diverse landscapes for camping opportunities. The area experiences mild winters and humid summers, with average temperatures between 30-85°F throughout the year. Camping sites in this region range from primitive tent spots to full-hookup RV accommodations, with the peak season running April through October.

    What to do

    Fossil hunting at beaches: The shoreline near Calvert Cliffs State Park offers unique fossil hunting opportunities along the Chesapeake Bay. "This park is awesome! I have been going here for years... the beach is very beautiful even though every year it gets smaller and smaller. The park staff are very friendly, and are very informative on the many fossils you may find on your visit," writes Anthony S. about Calvert Cliffs State Park.

    Hiking forest trails: Multiple trail systems connect campgrounds to natural areas. "There are some abandon camp loops around the open campground which makes for some cool walks with your dog. Very pretty area with lots of trails and overgrown roads to walk. Equestrian trails go deep into the woods if you want a longer trail," reports Ben J. from Cedarville State Forest.

    Disc golf courses: Several parks near Huntingtown feature disc golf courses for active recreation. "I'd recommend taking in a game of disc golf on their 18 hole course," suggests Rachel L. about Pohick Bay Regional Park. The course is accessible year-round and requires only basic equipment to play.

    What campers like

    Fishing and crabbing access: Waterfront campsites provide direct access to fishing spots. "The pier was perfect to fish or crab off of and the beach had great views of the sunrise," notes Ally S. from Endeavor Point. Maryland fishing licenses are required for adults, with daily or weekly options available.

    Proximity to Washington DC: Campgrounds serve as affordable bases for exploring the capital. "This is a urban oasis. Traffic can be heard but not seen. Weekdays are pretty quiet in this campground... Oh, and bonus, the American Discovery Trail (ADT) passes through the park," explains Becky about Greenbelt Park Campground.

    Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses and camping areas receive frequent praise. "Bathrooms don't look like much from the outside, but the inside is very nice. Clean, hot water, and good water pressure. The have a new dump station, but the hose has an anti-freeze up in the air with a pull cord valve," explains Ben J. about the facilities at Cedarville State Forest.

    What you should know

    Tick prevention essential: Multiple reviewers mention tick encounters in wooded areas. "LOTS and LOTS of ticks. I got one, but my wife and dog got about a dozen each. Just bring tweezers," warns Ben J. about Cedarville State Forest. Apply repellent before hiking and check pets thoroughly after walks.

    Seasonal flooding: Some campsites experience drainage issues during heavy rains. "When the rain did calm down Cedarville state forest offered some very serene and peaceful views. Which is surprising due to the forests location," notes Justin G. after experiencing severe weather at Cedarville State Forest.

    Varying site privacy: Site spacing differs significantly between campgrounds and loops. "The sites for tents are big enough for a 4 person tent. There are clean bathrooms and the hosts, who I have spoken to many times, are friendly and knowledgeable about the area," explains Bill G. about choosing the right location at nearby campgrounds.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water activities for hot days: Swimming areas and water parks provide relief during summer heat. "Pirate's Cove waterpark is definitely a highlight in summer... Boating in summer from kayaks to motorboats," mentions Anne K. about Pohick Bay Campground.

    Evening programming: Many campgrounds offer organized activities. "They informed us that they had a scavenger hunt for the kids going all weekend, they had an outdoor movie scheduled for Friday night, a campfire story time scheduled for Saturday night and crafts scheduled for Sunday morning," shares Ben G. about family-friendly scheduling at Pohick Bay.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Animal sightings enhance camping experiences for children. "Saw a snake, alligator snapping turtle, and rabbits, before we even reached the gates," reports Ben J. about his arrival at Cedarville State Forest, providing exciting nature observation opportunities for families.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection considerations: RV site quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Sites were very close. The site was part Gravel and mostly mud/grass. There was trash on site. It appears that most of the people here live full-time. The driveway was dirt/gravel with a lot of holes," cautions Cynthia D. about Adventure Bound Washington DC.

    Electric hookup availability: Power options differ between campgrounds. "This campground is about 25 sites. Only 5 sites have electric (2, 5, 18, 24, 25) but all 25 sites have water hookup," explains Tye S. about Louise F. Cosca Regional Park, highlighting the need to reserve specific sites for power needs.

    Leveling requirements: Site terrain impacts comfort for larger rigs. "Sites vary in levelness, some are fairly level and some are on a mini hill. Driveways are all very narrow," advises Laura M., recommending bringing adequate leveling blocks for pet friendly camping near Huntingtown, Maryland.
