Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Military credentials unlock access to this RV campground on Fort Belvoir, an active Army installation in Northern Virginia. The facility sits along the Potomac River, providing water access and fishing opportunities from an on-site pier. Sites accommodate RVs with full hookups, though several campers note leveling challenges requiring extra blocks to compensate for uneven terrain.

The campground maintains high cleanliness standards across its facilities. An outdoor recreation center rents kayaks and canoes for river exploration, while also stocking fishing bait, snacks, and drinks. Eagle nests along the riverbank draw wildlife watchers, and the pier extends into the Potomac for fishing access. WiFi coverage reaches the camping area reliably.

Katia G. describes the facility as "super clean" and "very well maintained," though notes it works best for shorter stays. The secure military base location requires a vehicle for supply runs, as amenities lie some distance from the camping area. The campground connects to DC Metro Transit, making it functional for Washington DC visits.

Campers seeking additional options can explore camping near Fort Belvoir or visit nearby Pohick Bay Campground for a different riverfront experience.

No frills site in a great location

Good site, secure location, decent facilities with solid WiFi. Pier within walking distance. Good location, tho our site wasn't fully level, so bring plenty of leveling blocks.

Base camp for our DC visit

Spent several nights here while visiting Washington DC. You need military credentials. Handy to the DC Metro Transit system. Nice views of river. Eagle’s nest were interesting. Some sites are a little unlevel, front to rear, but definitely manageable. You really need a toad since supplies are not very close to the camping area.
