Military credentials are required to access Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp, which sits on open terrain near the Potomac River in Northern Virginia. The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Reservations are available at $55 per night.
Sites provide river views and access to a fishing pier within walking distance. Mike H. notes "nice views of river" and mentions eagle nests in the area. The base outdoor recreation center rents kayaks and canoes for exploring the Potomac, and also stocks bait, snacks, and drinks. WiFi coverage reaches throughout the camping area.
Several reviewers mention unlevel sites that require leveling blocks, particularly front-to-rear slopes. The facility maintains high cleanliness standards and allows pets. Katia G. describes it as "super clean, very well maintained." The location provides convenient access to DC Metro Transit for Washington DC visits, though supplies require driving since stores are not within walking distance.
Campers exploring the broader region can find campgrounds around Fort Belvoir or check nearby options like Pohick Bay Campground. Bring plenty of leveling blocks and plan for a vehicle to reach supplies and amenities off-base.
