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.
ScoutGreat space for rvs and tents. Cabins and yurts available, bath house clean, but toilet paper is thinner than dry onion skin. Beach area is 1/2 mile paved walk. Beach very crowded on weekends.
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.

Visit historic sites: Leesylvania State Park Campground combines glamping with historical exploration. "This campground was so pretty. It is small, but the price and location near DC cannot be beat.

Outdoor recreation: For visitors seeking land-based activities, Bull Run Regional Park offers extensive trail networks and recreational facilities. "This park has too many amenities to list. They had a campfire complete with s'mores followed by hayrides. Great family friendly campground," explains Bridget H.
Privacy in wooded settings: Many glamping sites feature strategic layouts for maximum seclusion. "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," shares Roberta K. about her experience at Bull Run Regional Park.
Spotless facilities: Cherry Hill Park maintains exceptional standards for their premium glamping accommodations. "Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. We loved the brick patio with patio furniture," reports John A., who visited during a holiday weekend.
Convenience to DC attractions: Glamping close to Marbury, Maryland provides easy city access without sacrificing nature immersion. "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," explains Josh J. about Pohick Bay Campground.
Seasonal availability: Most upscale glamping sites operate on limited schedules. "The park is yet another great VA state park. The park is well off the beaten path, but has plenty of historic and other attractions near by," notes Anthony D. about Westmoreland State Park Campground, adding that bathhouses remain clean until weekend crowds arrive.
Reservation requirements: Demand exceeds supply during peak seasons. "We arrived late at night and finding our site was easy. Very spacious sites and awesome views of the forest," reports Charyssa G., highlighting the value of advance planning for Bull Run Regional Park.
Weather considerations: The Potomac watershed experiences sudden weather changes. "Definitely gets windy near the river. Nothing a big pot of camp soup or chili can't help! Bath houses are heated which is amazing," shares RL from Westmoreland State Park Campground, noting that March visits can still be very cold.
Kid-friendly activities: Rappahannock River Campground offers glamping sites with direct water access. "This would be the perfect location for a small scout troop or a big family outing. Plenty of people with dogs running around and having a good time," recommends Jon N.
Playground proximity: Select sites strategically near play areas. "We had a great time here over a long weekend in August. We got a site on the inner loop and it backed to the playground and the bathhouse," Ben G. shares about Pohick Bay Campground, adding that the staff informed them about weekend activities including scavenger hunts and campfire storytimes.
Structured programming: Look for campgrounds with organized children's activities. "The park 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," explains Bridget H. about Bull Run Regional Park's family offerings.
Site selection strategy: Louise F. Cosca Regional Park offers limited electric sites for luxury glamping setups. "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., who recommends checking site levels before booking as some are too steep for certain RV types.
Seasonal crowd patterns: Time your glamping trip strategically. "Nice and quiet here during winter more so during week than weekends," notes Josh J. about Pohick Bay Campground, suggesting off-peak visits for maximum tranquility.
Utility considerations: Verify hookup availability when booking. "The site had water and electric which was nice. The bathhouse is standard but also has laundry and an outdoor dish washing station," shares Ben G. about the practical conveniences at Pohick Bay Campground.
