12 campgrounds with availability this weekend
RV campgrounds near Poolesville include Cherry Hill Park with full hookups, 50-amp service, and level sites for larger motorhomes. Brunswick Family Campground offers riverfront RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, though some campers note awkward hookup placement. Bull Run Regional Park provides 50-amp power, water, and sewer hookups in a wooded setting with sites that can accommodate big rigs. Little Bennett Campground features partial to full-service RV sites, though the terrain presents leveling challenges at some spots. "Our site was so unlevel that I was not able to get the RV leveled the entire weekend," noted one camper about a nearby park.
Many RV parks in the region fill quickly during spring and fall weekends, requiring reservations weeks in advance. Dump stations are available at most parks, though accessibility varies – Lake Fairfax Campground provides a dump point on-site but no water hookups at individual sites. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with several reviewers reporting good T-Mobile coverage. Pet policies are consistent across most parks, with designated dog areas at Cherry Hill and Ramblin' Pines. Winter camping options are limited, with Brunswick Family Campground operating from March to November, while Cherry Hill remains open year-round. When navigating to some parks, RVers should be prepared for tight turns and narrow roads, particularly at older campgrounds. Checking individual RV campground listings for slide-out clearance and maximum rig length before booking can save a difficult arrival.

"We loved the location of this RV park. We enjoyed our long-term stay."

GuideGreat campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
TravelerClose to washington as we could get. Could also park our skoolie bus which was nice and had plenty of close by shower with bathrooms. Keep in mind only one shower per restroom house. We stayed at a pretty slow season so it wasn’t bad. Would recommend if visiting DC! They also have a dump station and water fill up.
GuideQuite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.
GuideWhere we were camping had blown up their dump station. Artillery Ridge helped us out. $10. to dump. If we come to camp in Gettysburg, it will be hear.
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.
GuideSpent two nights while we saw the Avett Brothers play at Wolf Trap. Nice flat site with power. Campground was quiet and clean. The only negative is communication and signage. It took us a couple wrong turns to find our site and when we came back, after the concert around 11, the entrance gate was closed and we had to sneak in through the exit gate. Asked the next day and they said that is what campers do to access the park after 11pm.
ScoutThis is are first camping adventure in are new travel trailer. Camp ground is quiet and well maintained. Bath rooms and shower facilities are fantastic.
GuidePrimitive feel with full hookups. I have a 22' trailer, and it fits fine. I hope you like trains. Plenty of them go by.
Brunswick Family Campground offers direct river access for anglers and water enthusiasts along the Potomac River, located 43 miles northwest of Poolesville. The area features moderate summer temperatures averaging 85°F with frequent afternoon thunderstorms between June and August. Many campgrounds in the region connect to the C&O Canal towpath, providing access to historic sites and extended hiking routes without requiring vehicle transport.
Explore historic sites: Visit the historic Harpers Ferry town, accessible from Harpers Ferry Campground. "From there you can grab a bite, visit the history of Harper's Ferry or continue exploring more hiking trails," notes one visitor. The town is accessible via a 1.5-mile hiking trail from the campground.
Fishing opportunities: Cast a line directly from your campsite at Brunswick Family Campground. "Great location right next the river. Easy to walk into the river or tube down it," one camper reports. The Shenandoah River features clear, clean water for fishing throughout the camping season.
Military history: Tour Gettysburg National Military Park when staying at nearby campgrounds. "Not far from downtown Gettysburg, which also has a lot of different things to do," notes a camper at Drummer Boy Camping Resort. The battlefield is approximately 10 minutes from several Gettysburg area campgrounds.
Riverfront access: Many sites at Brunswick Family Campground sit directly along the water. "Our spot was on the river with a short walk to the boat ramp and access. It was very quiet, serene, & clean," explains a first-time RV camper. Most waterfront sites include full hookups.
Pool facilities: Cherry Hill Park offers swimming pools and splash pads that remain open throughout the summer season. "Pool, playgrounds, arcade, 24 hour laundry, a store and office open early and late," reports one satisfied guest who visited with family.
Nature trails: Walk from your campsite to hiking trails at Bull Run Regional Park. "The park is nice, but if you're looking for fishing don't go here, but you can in fact kayak down the creek," advises one camper. The park features miles of trails through wooded areas.
Train noise: Brunswick Family Campground sits near active train tracks. "The campground is adjacent to a very large, very busy train yard. It's not bothered me but you should be aware," warns one camper. Nighttime train traffic can be disruptive to light sleepers.
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Bathhouses could definitely use some upgrading for the money that place probably takes in each season," notes a reviewer at Drummer Boy Camping Resort. At Bull Run, one camper had high praise: "Best camping showers I've ever had."
Site spacing: Campsite proximity differs greatly between parks. "Sites are really staggered/set back from each other so feels like you have more space," explains one Brunswick Family camper. At Gettysburg Campground, visitors note "small sites but some are along the creek."
Activity options: Gettysburg Campground provides amenities specifically for children. "It is a wonderful place to have kids. Tons of things for them to do," shares one tent camper. The campground includes playgrounds and a creek where children can observe wildlife.
Playground access: Consider proximity to play areas when booking. At Round Top Campground, a reviewer observed "there was only 1 playground, it was all the way at the front of the campground (we had to drive to it) and it was very junky and run down."
Kid-friendly activities: Bull Run Regional Park organizes family programs. "The campground had a climbing wall on one afternoon...They had a campfire complete with s'mores followed by hayrides," reports a camper who stayed in a cabin with grandchildren.
Site leveling: Prepare for uneven terrain at some parks. At Round Top Campground, an RVer noted "spots are tight, water pressure is low, road traffic noise. Water and electric are in awkward spots on our site." Bringing additional leveling blocks is recommended.
Military base camping: Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp offers secure camping with military credentials. "Nice views of river. Eagle's nests were interesting. Some sites are a little unlevel, front to rear, but definitely manageable," reports a military camper. The campground provides full hookups including 50-amp service.
Sewer connections: Pay attention to hookup placement when selecting sites. At Prince William Forest RV Campground, a reviewer mentions "all spots are pull through and are close together. Most have some tree cover (and some of the trees could use a trim along the roads). Some long term guests occupy the back sites which have sewer."
