9 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Prince William Forest RV Campground offers pull-through sites with water and electric hookups, though most lack sewer connections. The campground provides two dump stations, a swimming pool, and a well-stocked camp store selling propane and basic supplies. Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville accommodates larger RVs with spacious pull-through sites along the main road, featuring water and 50-amp electrical service. "Campground is close to the DC area. It is easy and convenient to get to. Almost all sites are pull through and are close together. Most have some tree cover and some of the trees could use a trim along the roads," noted one visitor. Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, while Oak Ridge Campground in Prince William Forest Park has size restrictions limiting trailers and fifth wheels to 26 feet and motorhomes to 32 feet.
Several campgrounds near Manassas remain open year-round, though Oak Ridge Campground operates seasonally from March through October. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with most parks offering at least minimal coverage. AT&T users report 1-2 bars at Oak Ridge Campground, while other parks provide stronger signals. Navigation to some campgrounds requires careful planning, particularly for larger rigs. The roads within Prince William Forest RV Campground feature tight turns with trees that may need trimming for easier access. Most parks accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Dump stations are available at multiple locations, with Prince William Forest RV Campground offering two "easy dump stations" according to one review. Weekends typically see higher occupancy rates, especially during fall foliage season when advance reservations become essential.

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.
TravelerGreat spot! Water taps appear to be turned off for winter. Flushing toilets. Waterfall hike nearby!
GuideQuite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.
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.
TravelerSomething for everybody; long term slots, primitive camping, with electricity and water, with full hookups, day use ramps for Lake Anna, huge covered picnic area for large gatherings, rv sites in the woods and others on the edge of large field. Staff are great.
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.

The beach is known for prehistoric shark teeth discoveries.
Clean facilities: The bathrooms at Oak Ridge Campground receive consistent praise. "The bathrooms were nice and clean throughout my stay and looked newly renovated," mentions Clara K. Another camper adds, "This campground has great space and super clean bathrooms with marble tile."
Pool amenities: Many campgrounds offer swimming pools as an alternative to natural water bodies. "They have a nice pool and bathrooms. On a major road not far from the freeway. Very close to Washington DC," explains Ken W. about Prince William Forest RV Campground.
Privacy options: Bull Run Regional Park arranges sites for maximum privacy. "The sites are all pull-through off the roads through the campground. So your camper faces the woods and you feel like you're all alone," explains Roberta K. Another camper notes, "Very spacious sites and awesome views of the forest."
Variable cell service: For remote workers, cell coverage varies widely. "I work full-time remote and the Verizon service was perfect with our hotspot," says a camper at Harbor View. At other campgrounds, service may be limited.
Military noise: Expect aircraft and training noise at multiple locations. "Sometimes you hear military field training going on (live ranges, helicopters, and ospreys - but I don't mind)," explains James P. about Fort AP Hill Champs Camp.
Seasonal considerations: Spring camping brings pollen challenges. "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," warns a Harbor View camper.
Limited reservations: Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during fall. "Bull Run manages to goose you even more. There are occupancy AND transaction fees that really add up if you're only there a few nights. But the real kicker is a 2-night minimum stay. Even mid-week. In APRIL for gosh sakes!" reports Stuart O.
Playgrounds and activities: Cherry Hill Park offers extensive family amenities within 45 minutes of Manassas. "This campground has so much to offer. Playground, Mini Golf, Swimming Pool, Hot tub, Basketball court, Snack bar on site, Nightly hayride," lists Beth R.

Check bathroom proximity: When tent camping with children, verify bathroom locations. "Tent campers are an absolute afterthought here, as the sites are in the back and the bathhouse is in the front," cautions a camper at Thousand Trails Harbor View.
Nature programs: Several parks offer ranger-led activities. "We love walking and having a nice walk right from our campsite is a big bonus. My gkids enjoyed the nature scavenger hunt. You even get a prize when you finish," shares a Bull Run visitor.
Size restrictions: RV campers should verify length limits before booking. Oak Ridge Campground has size restrictions, while others accommodate larger rigs. "Most sites were level," notes Bille W. about Prince William Forest RV Campground.
Leveling challenges: Bring extra leveling equipment. "The site next to ours had perfect hammock trees too! Site was spacious, level and shady," reports a Harbor View camper. At Bull Run, "My site had a slight slope, but was easily overcome using additional blocks on the low side to get the trailer level," explains Drew M.
Weather preparation: Summer brings high humidity requiring adequate cooling systems. "Watch out for decent highway noise, but easily drowned out with the AC," advises Joe R. about Cherry Hill Park.
Hookup variations: Confirm specific hookup details. "They also have up to 50amp full hookups. All of them looked well maintained," mentions a Prince William Forest RV Campground reviewer. Other campgrounds offer partial hookups or none at all.
