8 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Prince William Forest RV Campground provides electric hookups, water connections, and dump stations for RV travelers near Triangle, Virginia. Most sites are pull-through with gravel surfaces and some tree cover, though reviewers note the spaces are closely situated. Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville accommodates big rigs with 50-amp electrical service, water connections, and sewer hookups at select sites. Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp offers military travelers full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service approximately 20 miles from Burke. Cherry Hill Park in College Park features concrete pads with full hookups, including 30/50-amp service and sewer connections. "Most sites are pull through and are close together. Almost all sites have some tree cover and some of the trees could use a trim along the roads," according to one visitor.
Navigating into some parks requires careful attention to narrow, winding roads that can challenge larger motorhomes. Bull Run Regional Park features spacious pull-through sites along the main road, while the full hookup sites in the uneven-numbered section offer easier access for larger rigs. Cell service varies across campgrounds with Cherry Hill Park offering reliable connectivity, while Prince William Forest provides limited coverage. Many RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though Bull Run Regional Park experiences higher occupancy during autumn months when fall foliage attracts visitors. Pet-friendly accommodations are standard across most parks, though some charge additional fees. Dump stations are available at Prince William Forest and Bull Run, with the latter positioning theirs near the front of the campground for convenient access.

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.
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.
GuideThis is a great camping spot. The sites aren’t too close together and the hosts are very friendly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because we are near a highway so you can hear cars throughout the night. But the crickets make up for it by being as loud as possible. With the fees, it cost $25 for a non-electric site and with access to showers after a long trek I was happy to pay.
RangerWe stayed at Little Bennett starting on Labor Day Monday and left before the weekend, so it is hard to say how this looks when the campground is full of life. They had quite a few activities for families and a pavilion capable of concerts and such, but there was minimal activity during our stay. My biggest complaint is that the gate code changed and we didn't get any notice--so after a long day and a dinner out near Baltimore (nearly an hour away), I had to call the police to get back to my camper. Otherwise, the campsite was relatively spacious and quiet. The bugs were a little rough. Lots of whitetail running around.
ScoutIt was a well maintained campsite. Clean bathrooms and great hikes to fossil beach.

Hiking trails: Burke Lake Park features a 5-mile gravel trail around the lake perimeter with minimal elevation change. "The trail around the lake is a bit under 5 miles, but it's all trail. There is almost no elevation gain, and it is not very technically rigorous," according to Daniel P.

Proximity to DC: Cherry Hill Park remains popular for its location. "Great for a DC visit. This was a great stop to take the kids to visit the city. Easy access and well laid out sites. They have a bus stop for metro service to the city, but we took the 20 minute drive," writes Joe R.

Noise considerations: Proximity to transportation can create sound issues. "There is a shooting range in the park. It is on a flight path for DCA. And, I66 is not that far away," warns Drew M. Similarly, at Burke Lake Park, "When a bunch of high schoolers decide to party till 3AM, there's no one to call."

Uber, Lyft, bus, shuttle. It takes about a half hour to get downtown."

Site selection: At RV parks near Burke, Virginia, location within the campground matters. "We tent camped and really had a great time. The sites are nicely spread out. My site had a slight slope, but was easily overcome using additional blocks on the low side to get the trailer level," notes one camper at Harpers Ferry Campground.

Seasonal considerations: Weather affects experience significantly. "If you have allergies, avoid spring. EVERYTHING outside was covered in a light haze of pollen. I worked outside several days and had to wipe my computer off a couple times a day," advises Ariel F. about camping in the region.
