So close to DC but so far away

This campground was so pretty. It is small, but the price and location near DC cannot be beat. It is directly on Potomac River.

Tip: if you want a day pass, just show your REI receipt and you can get in for free

nice park to visit

We heard about this park because it was rated one of the best in the state, so we had to check it out! The park was not very busy when we were there, but the lake and hiking were wonderful. Sites were average, nothing too spectacular but private enough for us.
