3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cherry Hill Park houses several glamping options just outside Oxon Hill, providing easy access to DC-area attractions. The park offers canvas-walled safari tents and yurts equipped with climate control, comfortable beds with linens, and electricity for a refined outdoor experience. "This was a great place to stay! Close to everything D.C. has to offer while being far enough away to be in the woods," noted one guest. Additional glamping accommodations can be found at Washington DC/Capitol KOA in Millersville, featuring deluxe canvas tents and yurts with kitchenettes and private bathrooms. Little Bennett Campground, though slightly farther, provides luxury canvas structures with modern amenities including climate control, quality furnishings, and outdoor living spaces.
Proximity to Washington DC makes these glamping sites particularly valuable for combining outdoor experiences with urban exploration. The Maryland locations serve as comfortable baselines for day trips, with most sites situated within 30-45 minutes of major attractions. Guests at Pohick Bay can enjoy eagle watching, kayaking, and hiking directly from their glamping accommodations. A visitor highlighted that "we were able to take the metro into DC for a day of exploring!" On-site amenities at these glamping destinations include disc golf, mini-golf, and water recreation opportunities. Most glamping accommodations remain open from early spring through late fall, though Cherry Hill Park maintains year-round availability for select canvas structures with supplemental heating. Advance reservations are essential, particularly during peak summer months and holiday weekends.
"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."
"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."
Available this weekend

"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."

Many things to see and do there."

"Close to me so theres nothing new"

ScoutLovely but busy spot. Campground A has hookups but you can also fit a camper into the standard sites. All sites have nice travel pads and fire rings. Campground b is basically an open field as of Nov 2026 recommend avoiding that area.
ScoutWe stayed in site #133 with our 34'10" travel trailer/toy hauler. Overall, we really like the site. It's spacious, fairly level, heavily wooded, and feels surprisingly private. There's plenty of room around the camper, and although there are other campsites and cabins nearby, the trees provide a lot of separation. We had a nice large area for our chairs, fire pit, picnic table, and dogs. The biggest thing to know about #133 is the approach. We were instructed to pass the site, go around the loop, and then make a left turn into it. With our nearly 35' trailer, that would have required an extremely tight, almost 90-degree turn between the trees, and we did not feel we could safely make it. There is actually visible damage on one of the trees at the entrance, so it appears others may have had difficulty with the turn as well. Instead, we approached from the opposite direction and positioned the camper with our doors facing the main campsite area. That put the water and electric hookups on the opposite side, but our hoses and cord were long enough to run underneath the camper and reach without a problem. Once we figured that out, the site worked very well for us. I initially thought we probably wouldn't choose #133 again because of the awkward setup, but after spending the weekend here, I would. Now that we know how to approach and position our trailer, it really is a nice site. If you're bringing a longer travel trailer, just be prepared to do a little maneuvering and make sure your water hose and electrical cord have enough length if you decide to orient your camper the way we did.
ScoutSimple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
RangerWe stayed at Little Bennett starting on Labor Day Monday and left before the weekend, so it is hard to say how this looks when the campground is full of life. They had quite a few activities for families and a pavilion capable of concerts and such, but there was minimal activity during our stay. My biggest complaint is that the gate code changed and we didn't get any notice--so after a long day and a dinner out near Baltimore (nearly an hour away), I had to call the police to get back to my camper. Otherwise, the campsite was relatively spacious and quiet. The bugs were a little rough. Lots of whitetail running around.
ScoutIt was a well maintained campsite. Clean bathrooms and great hikes to fossil beach.
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.
TravelerFor $90 per night the WiFi should work better. Didn’t connect at all. Had to use the antenna pointed East to get local Baltimore news.
ScoutThis camp ground is like a resort with 2 pools mini golf splash pad and many other amenities
GuideThis park is top notch. The grounds are immaculate. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a lovely gift shop. We were in the 400 sites and it was nice and shady. Though you are close to highways I don’t recall hearing and noise. I love that they have shuttles to DC., walking trails and a large dog park. This is my all time favorite park so far and I need to go back.

Disc golf courses: Pohick Bay Regional Park offers an 18-hole disc golf course that provides outdoor recreation without requiring extensive equipment. "Pohick Bay is my go-to weekend camping spot. Just a few miles outside DC, Pohick Bay is a hidden gem in the area. I'd recommend taking in a game of disc golf on their 18 hole course," notes Rachel L.
Wildlife observation: Pohick Bay Campground provides opportunities for eagle watching throughout the year. "Beautiful campground located near the National Harbor. Eagles everywhere! Large clean sites. Great staff!" shares Kathie M.
Seasonal water activities: Several campgrounds feature water recreation during summer months. "This is definitely a family campground. So my activities for kids and places to run around.

Historical exploration: The region contains significant Civil War sites and historical landmarks. "Very cool stuff," notes a visitor about the old battlefields and buildings that housed troops during the Civil War near Bull Run Regional Park.
Proximity to DC sights: Campers consistently mention the convenience of reaching urban attractions while staying in natural settings. "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.
Transportation options: Many campers appreciate public transit access to Washington DC. "This was a great stop to take the kids to visit the city. Easy access and well laid out sites.

Clean facilities: Visitors frequently mention facility cleanliness as a positive aspect of their stay. "Our site was perfectly level with a fire ring, grill, picnic table and table with three chairs. I wish there was a little bit more room in between the campers for privacy but it did not hurt our stay," notes Jonathan B. about Cherry Hill Park.
Family amenities: Multiple parks offer substantial recreational options for children. "We had a great time here over a long weekend in August. The check in is a breeze and the staff is super nice and helpful. They informed us that they had a scavenger hunt for the kids going all weekend," shares Ben G. about Pohick Bay.
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites near Oxon Hill require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "On-site bus shuttle," "gated," and other amenities at Washington DC / Capitol KOA make it a popular option requiring early reservations.

Wildlife presence: Prepare for encounters with local wildlife, particularly in wooded areas. "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," advises Tye S. about Louise F. Cosca Regional Park.
Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby facilities or transportation routes. "This place is packed full of people who like to stay up late and make lots of noise. Park rules aren't very well enforced. Showers were clean and campsites seemed well maintained," reports Kelli T. about Pohick Bay.

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," explains a visitor to Pohick Bay Regional Park.
Educational opportunities: Several locations provide nature programs and historical learning experiences. "Plenty of trails and trails nearby to keep the family busy," notes Kristen M. about regional park offerings.
Age restrictions: Some facilities have specific rules regarding young children. "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 if she was in the pool or not," reports Stephanie H. about Washington DC / Capitol KOA.
Site leveling: Many visitors mention varying site grades throughout the region. "Our site had a slight slope, but was easily overcome using additional blocks on the low side to get the trailer level," shares Drew M. about Little Bennett Campground.
Utility connections: Full hookup availability varies between parks. "We stayed at site D72 for 4 days. The sites are quiet, very spacious, level, and heavily wooded with 50A service, water and sewer hookup. D Loop is for RVs, A, B, C& E are tents only," notes Ray & Terri F. about Little Bennett Campground.
Communication infrastructure: Cell service and internet access fluctuate throughout the area. "AT&T 5 MB/s w/o booster (1 bar), 8 MB/s with it (2 bars).
