Best Glamping near Arlington, VA

This campground is huge, and very crowded. We were there in the days leading up to 4th of July, and there was not a single empty site. Our section had mostly pop-ups and mid-size travel trailers, so the sites were all grass and gravel. However, the area with pull-through sites for big rigs was just a huge RV parking lot. All roads were very narrow and winding. We did fine with the pup, but can’t imagine trying to navigate a large motorhome through there. Crowding/space issues aside, this is a really nice (albeit expensive) campground. Almost everything, from the grounds, to rec halls, to pool and laundry, was sparkling clean and beautifully maintained. Bathrooms were reasonably clean as well, although they could certainly use some TLC and updating (most MD state park bathhouses are nicer).Staff was very friendly, as well. Tons of stuff to do here, especially for families: arts & crafts, indoor movie theatre, games, civil war reenactments, wine tastings, etc. We were certainly never bored, and the kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. Our site was extremely close to our neighbor's site, but still surprisingly roomy and decently shaded. We were right next to the pancake hut (free daily pancake breakfast included during the on-season) and playground, and very close to other activities. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is just a stone's throw away, with great hiking, sight-seeing, and cute little shops.

Overall, this is a really nice place, but much more of a resort than a campground in my opinion. The kids loved it, but I’ll always prefer the wooded seclusion of a state or national park. However, if I was looking for a more action-packed, activities-filled “glamping” experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

This CG is an awesome 5+++++ place, close to DC and Arlington NVA. The resort is impeccably clean, the entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Amenities are great, from multiple pools with lifeguards, to showers, laundry rooms, playgrounds, pet areas, even tire stations for your rigs. They even have two full time staff to assist in your plans to and from DC. We drove to most attractions downtown within 35 min. Arlington is approx. 40 min drive and an hour to Quantico. We highly recommend this CG. Sites are beautiful and clean. Great hook ups, with 70+ channels of cable. WiFi needed a browser. Multiple clubhouses, even a restaurant that delivers to your site. The store is awesome and close to food stores, gas, medical center and shopping

Was excited to try first night out in a Kodiak Canvas Truck Bed Tent. Unfortunately, learned NOVA Parks regards anything in a truck bed whether a camper or tent is not welcome. I didn't realize NOVA Parks considers this campground as a resort and vehicle camping - ither than a class A or B - implies homeless and they don't want that image. They do also allow a travel trailer and tents can only be used on the ground not in a truck bed as designed. Beautiful park ... I live nearby in Arlington but was frustrated not able to use a nearby Park and Campground I pay taxes to support. I used another Campground in Fairfax County that was welcoming.

Harper's Ferry is a little town in WV nestled right next to the Potomac River. It's also a convenient halfwayish point on the Appalachian Trail. One of my friends and I stayed here while we were section hiking the AT. The campground is pretty nice, with cabins, tent sites, and RV sites. It's also got a lot of extra activities that you can do. Zip lining, tubing, rafting the Potomac, and even an adventure park, you name it. You definitely won't be bored wile staying at this campground.

Harper's Ferry is a pretty neat place too. There are some great restaurants, cool shops, and make sure to make a stop at the AT Conservatory. There you can see cool pictures of all the people who have through hiked the AT and learn more about it.

Speaking of the AT, there are great hiking and biking trails right around Harper's Ferry. You can even say you hiked all the way to Virginia from West Virginia. Just don't tell anyone that Harper's Ferry is right on the border.

The hike that leads to the lookout about harpers ferry was fantastic. This hike takes you well above the town settled in West Virginia. While some points are pretty steep don’t let this deter you from completing it. The trail is well maintained, marked, and exciting. It is filled with tons of history and when you walk across the bridge from the town be looking out for all the locks on the bridge that have been left behind by other avid hikers

This campground is very convenient to many historic and recreational sites. Some of the sites are very shaded, but like most KOAs the sites are pretty close together. The campground has a nice big pool and lots of activities for the kids. 

The area has river float and whitewater rapids trips on both the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. We were able to walk or ride our bikes to the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and access the C+O Canal Tow Path from there. Antietam Battlefield is not far from the park and just across the Virginia border were a ton of vineyards.

Great sites, great amenities, clean, and convenient location. Perfect place for travel along the interstate or as a base for Washington, DC touring. Highly recommended!

We just started full time RVing during the “off season”. This is a camp we chose that met our needs. The women in the main office were amazingly helpful, and very friendly! It was very well maintained, clean, and quiet. During the on season it may be a bit louder but there is still rules about noise so you’ll be fine! There are TONS of things for families to do including mini golf a splash park, 2 playgrounds and a basketball court. There is also Corn hole and ping pong and a laundry center. My son has Autism and I still shower him and the family restroom/shower is just so wonderful!! We will definitely be returning during the on season to try out the water play park! I very much recommend this park, we are new to this, but they made me feel very comfortable and safe!

I didn’t find anything I didn’t like at this campground. That being said, I’m sure there were a few campers who didn’t like being right next to the walkway to the bathrooms and showers. The park is broken down in to various sections and slightly tiered. Lots of activities for the kids, shuttle was also available. Plenty of dog walking areas with grass.

It was crowded when we checked in but the registration office was very efficient in getting people through the system quickly. All necessary info was supplied, key codes swipe card, wifi password, parking pass, etc. The park is very large and is situated in a very congested area right off the freeway but was surprisingly quiet and the access was easy peasy.

Wifi, cable and cell service were all good.

Bathrooms, showers and laundry facility were all in excellent condition and clean. Paths to the bathrooms were lit as you got closer to them. We had a back-in gravel site, level, with plenty of room between campers to maneuver into our site. Spaces are easily identifiable and they had people clearing out the leaves before campers arrived. However, there is not a great deal of space between campers

They have an attendant during the day  operating the gate but after hours we used a bar code on a piece of paper that we scanned to open the gate. We spent 5 nights here and we could have easily stayed longer. We will definitely book again.

This place is as competitively priced as anyone of the RV parks around. They have it all in a park is beautiful.  the pool is great. The showers are clean. The laundry is great. They have playgrounds. Everyone is nice. Most of the spots are level. The grounds are well cab. The campground Wi-Fi is decent. They have extra amenities that you do not get at most parks this is a true gem of a place to stay in the DC area 

We had another great stay at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD. 

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. The site was just big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service all worked fine. 

If you’re visiting Washington, this is the place to stay. They offer a daily charter bus plus the Metro bus stops at the campground entrance. And if you have a car, it’s about 35-minutes drive time(maybe a bit longer with traffic). 

To be honest, it’s a great place to stay even if you’re not visiting D.C. They have two swimming pools, a cafe, playgrounds, well-stocked camp store, delivery of firewood, ice, and cafe orders, and a concierge to help with travel and tourist sites. 

The entire park is clean and well-maintained. 

THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

1. Proximity to Washington, D.C. 

2. Excellent condition and clean 

3. Great staff to help with making the most of your stay
