Prince William Forest RV Campground sits directly in Triangle, Virginia, offering pull-through sites with 30-amp electric hookups and water connections. Most sites feature gravel pads with picnic tables and are staggered to create a sense of space, though they remain relatively close together. "Sites are close together. Most have some tree cover and some of the trees could use a trim along the roads," notes one camper. Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp, located approximately 20 miles northeast, provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service. For RV travelers seeking year-round options, Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville accommodates larger motorhomes with full hookup sites featuring both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Aquia Pines Campground in Stafford offers another big-rig friendly option with full hookup RV sites and is situated about 15 miles south of Triangle.
Cell service is generally strong throughout the region's RV campgrounds, with Verizon users reporting good coverage at Prince William Forest RV Campground. Dump stations are available at most locations, though Oak Ridge Campground in Prince William Forest Park lacks this amenity despite accepting smaller RVs up to 26 feet for trailers and 32 feet for motorhomes. Pet-friendly policies are standard across all area RV parks, allowing campers to bring their four-legged companions. Seasonal considerations affect availability, with Oak Ridge operating only from March through October. Weekend reservations fill quickly at many parks, particularly during fall foliage season and summer months. Some campgrounds like Cherry Hill Park in College Park, Maryland (about 35 miles north) offer premium amenities including paved sites with full hookups, making it popular for those visiting Washington DC.

GuideCampground is close (ish) 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). Some long term guests occupy the back sites which have sewer.
Close to Prince William Forest which is a fantastic National Parks forest.
Att coverage is good.
Playground is nice.
GuideGreat Park, friendly staff, clean facilities. We stayed with our Pop Up for two nights at an electric -supported site. Portable water and dumping station located at the camp store. We stayed at site 146 on the first caul-de-sac off the first loop just another site away from the bath house (which was pretty clean). We got rained on the first night so things got a little muddy but nothing out of hand. Tons of free activities for the kiddos facilitated by the camp staff over the weekends. Face-painting, ice cream sundaes, S'Mores, hay rides and a rock wall. Park has a lot of things to do as well just outside the campground. We took a try at disc golf which was a lot of fun. Pet friendly. We'll be back!
LegendGreenbelt, MD:
(Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good
(70 yr olds in 17’ trailer)
Overall Rating: 4.5
Price: About $12 w our senior pass.
Usage during visit: 50 % during week
Site Privacy: Most inner loop sites are not very good. However, our inner loop site was very private. Most inner loop sites lack privacy. Pull Through” sites are more like pull over sites. The picnic table privacy is often not very good for the pull over sites. This is because the adjacent back in site is deeper with picnic table not blocked by the trailer.
Site Spacing: Some are close. Check the map.
Site surface: black top
Reservations: Yes. We were able to change our site upon arrival on Rec.gov.
Campground Noise: Very quiet.
Road Noise: None
Through Traffic: Not a problem if the site is in a loop.
Electricity: No
Water: Available at a few spigots and at the washbasins at the bathrooms
Sewer: No
Dump: Yes
Generators: 6AM till 10PM
Bathroom: Old but clean.
Showers: Old but clean. Cirtains
Pull Throughs: Some “pull over spots”. I have a pic or two of good ones in the D loop.
Cell Service (Verizon): Great.
Setting: 10 mins from subway for DC access. Great way to get to DC. Located in a deciduous forest serving as a pleasant getaway for locals.
Weather: It was cool during our stay.
Bugs: No problems yet.
Solar: Most sites are not adequate.
Host: They are friendly and very courteous.
Notes: Amazing that there is such a pretty place so close to DC. This must be a great getaway for locals . …. We did not walk the park trails , but there are some.
TravelerThe campground is pretty big and has a wonderful beach with swim access to the lake. Most of the campers are long time seasonal campers, and a lot even live here. The beach is well maintained and campsites are spacious. Pull through options available. The playground is for kids 5+ and there’s not much to do outside of swimming in the lake for 5 and under. People at the lake were friendly but long term campers seemed to want to have nothing to do with anyone. I’d recommend for adults and teens more so than large families with younger kiddos.
ScoutThis campground is about 25 sites. Only 5 sites have electric (2, 5, 18, 24, 25)but all 25 sites have water hookup. Weekends are some what noisy because of the games across the street in the park. This is not a gated campground so anyone can come through and have a tour. Park Police patrol the campground 2 times a day. Also the bathrooms are clean, their are 2 stalls and 1 shower, cleaned daily by park rangers. Raccoons run wild at night flipping trash can lids on your campsite hunting for food. Use repel spray to keep the raccoons off your site. Site 24 and 25 are very close together but the other sites are at a distance however, 6 of the 25 sites are unleveled so tent camping is probably the only option. This is not big rig friendly but there are pull through sites but the roads are very narrow and there is only 1 way in and 1 way out (same entrance) there is a dump station at the beginning of the campground with access to water as well. Free of charge. This is a quiet campground and it's cheap for maryland residents and about $20 for non-resident. There is no registration on site it's online only. www.pgparksdirect.com
LegendWe 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
LegendOak Ridge NP unit in Prince Williams Forest Park: what a beautiful place to spend the fall day. It’s quiet, not very busy at all, and nice sites. This is a pretty good place to be if you’re going to visit DC. This is our second time and that’s what we did on our last stay here. However, Greenbelt common north east of DC, is a much better place for DC visit. There, you can take the train shuttle into the city was a short drive from the campground. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. Overall Rating: 4.5 Price 2023: $10 w interagency pass Usage during visit: very low Site Privacy: sites are in an open Oak Forest Site Spacing: Great. Very large sites Site surface: blacktop. Reservations: Required Campground Noise: Very quiet, both of our stays. Road Noise: none. This campground is far into the forest off, away from public road. Through Traffic in campground: no reason for through traffic. Electric Hookup: no. Sewer Hookup: no. Dump Station: no. Potable Water Available: Yes. There is a water Spicket at the bathrooms. There is also a wash station room attached to the bathrooms. Generators: allowed. Bathroom: clean. Showers: not in all bathrooms. Ever, there is a very clean shower/bathroom facility near the handicap spot, A25. Pull Throughs: Not sure. Did not see any. Cell Service (AT&T): 1 to 2 bars. Setting: deep into a beautiful Oak Forest. Weather: a very nice fall day. Highs in the 70s lows in the 50s Bugs: no mosquitoes. Too cold. Solar: doesn’t look like there will be enough sunshine through the trees for a good, fixed, solar panel, solar absorption. Host: not sure if one is present. Rig size: large rigs are OK. Nice deep sites. Just be careful what you say you choose Sites: I have pictures of very nice sites located near our campsite. Looks to me almost all sites are large and spacious. Some sites do not have picnic tables placed as well as they could be. Other than that the sites are fantastic.
GuideStayed for two nights with another family. They brought their travel trailer and our pop-up. The outer loop campsites are easily more level than the center loop. If leveling perfectly is a concern you may want to call ahead and ask before commiting to the inner loop. Electric hookup only. Bathhouse was very clean and the staff friendly. Water fill & Dump Station on the beach side of the bathhouse. This is a State Park so it's filled with activities. Great place to mountain bike as we noticed several groups camping and biking during our stay. We enjoyed the water park immensely. Ten of us in total with kids ranging from 18 months old to 13 years old. Everyone enjoyed the water park and the time we spent there. additional fee for access to the water park.
TravelerThere are some good things about this Famcamp. It's like a diamond in the rough. If the military would spend some time and money on it, it could be a great campground. One of the greatest points about this campground is its location. You are so close to downtown D.C.! Every RV site (as far as I saw) was a level concrete pad. All sites, except for tent sites, have full electricity. Most sites have sewer and water. Sites 12-18 should be mainly used for the smaller travel trailers. I had an interesting time getting my 35' 5th wheel into the site. Even though I got my RV into the site, I don't have much room for my truck. My site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a grill. Everything is rusted beyond repair. My grill was filled with cigarette butts and my fire pit had trash in it. There is some shade. My site has two trees at the front of the pad on both sides of the RV. My bedroom stays nice and cold and I have a good view for my Starlink in the rear. The sites are close to each other, but there is some space. The good thing is that we are surrounded by the golf course. You don't get much noise from the base, because of the location, and because the FamCamp is surrounded by trees. You can hear the busy road outside the fence but I don't hear it much inside the RV. Every once in a while you'll hear an aircraft... but this is an air base, it's expected. We were told the community laundry was not working and to use the base laundry mat. Finally, one of the best parts about the campground, is the lady at outdoor rec that is in charge of the Famcamp. She is very nice and helpful. She will try to assist you with anything you need from directions to useful tips.

Water recreation: Seasonal activities. Thousand Trails Harbor View provides water-based recreation opportunities on the Potomac River. "Nearby Colonial Beach is a cute area that has nice waterfront access. We also loved going to Westmoreland park which was practically next door to Harbor View. Great trails and fossil beach was fun," says Ariel F. The fossil beach allows visitors to search for prehistoric shark teeth.
Clean facilities: Regularly maintained. Bull Run Regional Park receives praise for its well-kept amenities. "I'll go again just for the showers. They're with staying again alone. Locking doors, individual stalls. Hot dog. Best camping showers I've ever had," writes Yvonne B. The bathrooms feature modern fixtures and marble tile in some locations.
Private sites: Natural separation. Campers appreciate the layout at many Triangle area campgrounds. "The sites are well spaced, and while on the smaller side they're very private with woods between each one," reports Caitlin A. about Smallwood State Park. Most sites feature natural buffers of trees and vegetation that create privacy between camping spots.
Pool access: Seasonal swimming. Many campers enjoy the swimming options during summer months. "Small pool. Quiet campground with tables and fire rings at all sites," says Mary P. about Prince William Forest RV Campground. The pool typically operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting.
Military noise: Base operations nearby. The proximity to Quantico Marine Base means occasional training noise. "We were in Loop C and could hear activity at Quantico. Lots of air noise too, from both airplanes and helicopters," shares Tracy R. Weekends typically have more activity than weekdays.
Tick prevention: Necessary precaution. Wooded sites require tick awareness, particularly in spring and summer. "Ticks were really bad. We killed dozens and ended up taking at least one with us when we left," cautions a reviewer about Oak Ridge Campground. Permethrin-treated clothing and regular tick checks are recommended.
Seasonal closures: Limited winter options. Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp remains open year-round, but some Triangle area campgrounds close seasonally. "Oak Ridge operating only from March through October," notes a camper. Reservations are particularly important during peak fall foliage season from late October through early November.

Nature programs: Educational activities. Prince William Forest Park offers junior ranger programs during summer months. "The day use area seems to see the most action (and maintenance) in the park, by far," notes a visitor. The nature center provides hands-on exhibits about local wildlife and ecosystems.
Site leveling: Bring equipment. Some RV sites require leveling blocks. "Site was the last site available when I made the reservation about 6 weeks prior. Site 9 is next to the bathhouse and across from the dumpsters. Neither was an issue," explains Laure D. Most RV campgrounds in Triangle, Virginia have a mix of level and slightly sloped sites.
Hookup variations: Check specifics. Some campgrounds offer limited hookup options. "I had a 30amp hookup with no issues. They also have up to 50amp full hookups. All of them looked well maintained," says Megan K. about Prince William Forest RV Campground. Water hookups may be shared between sites in some locations.
Satellite reception: Tree coverage impacts. The wooded nature of Triangle area campgrounds affects satellite reception. "Lots are really staggered/set back from each other so feels like you have more space. Average lot size in general, but the set back feels like you have more space," explains a camper. Cellular service through Verizon and Google Fi typically works well throughout the area.
