Weekend Trip to Peaceful Hollow Pines

Very peaceful and private location. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Weekend Trip to Hawkwood Farm

The hosts are very nice and helpful. The path to the camp is very accessible for basically any car. Site is huge and very pretty especially at night and sunrise.

Weekend Trip to Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

Kim was so sweet and there to greet us as we pulled onto the farm. The site was well maintained and we had everything we need. Bathroom was clean, plenty of firewood and eggs for sale.

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

this was my first camping experience and it was great! the portable toilet was very clean and the camp site was spotless. We were escorted to the camp site and everyone was very friendly. My son loved the water stream and the playground so that was also a huge plus. Looks like this will be our regular spot 👍🏻

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm

Rodney and Tara have a beautiful piece of property out in the country and were very hospitable. My brother and I stayed in their tiny house for a weekend of golfing. It was comfortable and had everything one would need for their visit. We did not take advantage of visiting their farm animals, but wish we had. The mini-split unit kept the temperature stable and comfy. If you're passing through or looking for a relaxing weekend, check out Rodney and Tara's property.

Weekend Trip to Comus Sky Farm

Great property, wonderful sunset views, plenty of space!

Weekend Trip to Stegan Farm

Scott’s place was great! Plenty of space to set up and a great open view!

Weekend Trip to Button Farm

My wife and I had an unforgettable stay here. The campsite is in a wide open field with no one else around — just peace, quiet, and endless sky. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The picnic tables were sturdy and well-placed, making it easy to enjoy meals outdoors. A perfect spot for couples who want to disconnect and enjoy nature in total privacy. Highly recommended!

1 night at Button Farm

Quiet, open space with no one around — just what we needed. Great picnic tables and a peaceful atmosphere. Would stay again.

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

Very clean and beautiful campsite! The string lights were a godsend since we ended up arriving after dark. We had pre-bought eggs, firewood, and honey and those were very easy to pick up on the way to the site. Got to see some horses, as well as hear peacocks and owls! There was a lot of rain on the trip so we didn't get to explore as much as we would have wanted to, we'll just have to come back later!

1 night at Camp Canterbury

My second time staying here. Just as pleasant as the first stay. This spot is right in the heart of some of the best gravel bike riding in the country. You can access some the best roads in Loudon County right from camp.

1 night at Willows Farm

Great location, hookups, beautiful vistas, can't complain at all.

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm

Rodney was an excellent host. A beautiful piece of property. Very peaceful, especially at night falling asleep to the sound of the crickets. We definitely will be revisiting in the near future.

20 nights at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

Susane and Bob are very kind hosts and went above and beyond to accommodate me. This was my second stay with them and I plan to return. Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Willows Farm

We really loved this campsite. Though we got stormed out and had to leave early, the site was well maintained and we enjoyed visiting with the cows.

Weekend Trip to Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

Kimberly was very responsive. Directions were excellent. Parking was easy. Spot was level. It was very quiet. Loved seeing the Alpacas and cattle. There is also a talkative peacock and 2 friendly cats. There is a dog kennel nearby which got lively with the thunderstorm but not a big deal. We didn’t have cell service with Verizon but our friends with AT&T did. I like that they have firewood and eggs for sale there. It was very quiet overnight. Bring bug spray or a way to keep them at bay. We used a fan and two thermacell bug repellent devices and we were fine. We will be back. Close to lots of things to do.

Weekend Trip to Hawkwood Farm

Great place to camp if mountain biking the Frederick Watershed or just enjoying nature. Hosts were wonderful and communicative.

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

Beautiful and clean space with fire pit and more than enough space for a group of 15! Showers were freezing cold but refreshing…. Porta Potty was clean!! The hanging lights were perfect at night while sitting around the fire pit.. would definitely book again!

Artesian's Hidden Acres

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Fort Washington, MD

Welcome to our private, family-owned retreat! For decades, we have provided nature-based community service programs that promote wellness, restoration, and relaxation. Artesian immerses guests in the healing properties of nature. Artesian's Hidden Acres is a hidden gem located in a rural-residential district of Fort Washington and are currently suited for off-grid campers. We do not provide electricity, toilets, or running water, but we do provide privacy and a unique camping experience. So, pitch your tents, park your campers, and bring your water, cooking supplies, and power source - we'll provide the fire pit, a bundle of wood, birds, crickets, groundhogs, and tranquility. But, while you will feel secluded, we do have neighbors nearby so out of respect, please try to quiet down a bit after 9pm. Thanks! In fact, bring your bike, hiking shoes, and fishing gear along too because the property is located just 4 miles from both the Henson Creek Trailhead (a scenic paved trail perfect for walking, jogging, and cycling) and Cosca Regional Park Hiking and Mountain Biking Trail (a 690-acre natural surface and paved trail with picnic areas, tennis courts, an equestrian trail network, and a lake for boating and fishing). Since we're on the subject of location, Artesian's Hidden Acres' rural-residential status gives you the best of both worlds. On the one hand, we are secluded and nestled in a private, 3-acre plat. On the other hand, we are in a residential community giving you quick (less than one mile) retail and restaurant access to Giant Food, gas stations, Auto Zone Auto Parts, fast-food restaurants, CVS, and more. We're also located 2 miles from Branch Avenue Metrorail Station; 5 miles from the MGM National Harbor & Tanger Outlets; 3.5 miles from Top Golf; 11 miles from Six Flags America; 10 miles from the DC Tidal Basin; 6 miles from Old Town Alexandria Waterfront; 8 miles from Fort Washington Park; and 10 miles from Watkins Regional Park.

The Dragon Inn Clearings

5 sites · RVs, Tents7 acres · La Plata, MD

This privately owned large home is tucked away on 7+ acres wooded area in scenic semi-secluded neighborhood in La Plata, Charles County. Charles County was created in 1658 by an Order in Council. There was also an earlier Charles County from 1650 to 1653, sometimes referred to in historic documents as Old Charles County. In April 1865, John Wilkes Booth made his escape through Charles County after shooting President Abraham Lincoln. He was on his way to Virginia. John Wilkes Booth fled to southern Maryland, toward Zekiah Swamp. Booth entered the swamp after treatment by Dr. Samuel Mudd for the broken leg he suffered escaping Fords Theater. A black tobacco farmer guided Booth and his co-conspirator David Herold through the swamp to the home of a Confederate sympathizer, Samuel Cox. Cox led Booth and Herold to Thomas A. Jones who helped them the rest of the way through the Zekiah Swamp and across the Potomac River to Virginia. In 1926, a tornado ripped through the county leaving 17 dead (including 13 schoolchildren) and on April 28, 2002, another tornado destroyed much of downtown La Plata. In its path of destruction was our location now known as THE DRAGON INN, the house was completely torn down to its foundation and rebuild in 2003. You can see a marker stone in the brick wall near the garage. This county also has several properties on the National Register of Historic Places. Among them are Green Park and Pleasant Hill, home of the Green and Spalding Families. The Dragon Inn and its all natural wooded backyard, also known as Zekiah Swamp, is part of the Potomac River basin in Charles County, Maryland. The swamp is 21 miles (34 km) of braided stream stretching the length of Charles County and is a tributary of the Potomac River. It sits at an elevation of three feet 90.91 m) and 450 acres (180 ha) of its southern end is protected as the Zekiah Swamp Natural Environment Area. Although the Zekiah Swamp Natural Environment Area is primarily owned by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, it isn't managed for recreation. As a result, there are no paved public access roads, parking areas, or scenic overlooks. Nor are there marked or developed trails, picnic areas, campsites, or visitor's centers. Nonetheless, a limited level of recreational use is still possible. In connection with its Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail system, the U.S. National Park Service notes that access is possible by way of the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and SR 234 (Budds Creek Road). Traveling east from that point on SR 234, one comes to Penn's Hill Road/Allen’s Fresh Road. Following Allen's Fresh Road south at mile 23.2, there is a dirt road on the west side that leads through the swamp and woods to Allen's Fresh Run of the Wicomico River. This is suitable for driving or walking. Other sight-seeing or photo opportunities are possible with brief stops along the shoulder of SR 234 where it passes through the Natural Environment Area. Similar possibilities exist to the north on SR 6 (Charles Street) that runs between La Plata and Charlotte Hall. If you are feeling adventurous you can explore some paths, clearings and bamboo fields leading to a small creek flowing into the Zekiah Swamp Run directly from our backyard!

RV camping in Washington, DC guide

Overview

The US capital is better known for its iconic monuments, moving memorials, and world-class museums, but campers might be surprised to find RV camping within easy reach of the White House and Capitol Hill. There’s no camping within the DC area itself, so you may need to cross state lines to enjoy RV camping near the capital. (Pro tip: If you need day parking for a small camper, try the oversized parking lot at Union Station.) The closest RV parks to Washington, DC lie on the Maryland side, where you’ll find camping spots and RV resorts with full hookups, free wifi, and a mix of back-in and pull-through campsites. Plus, nearby Greenbelt Park has a metro link to DC for easy sightseeing. Over on the Virginia side, Bull Run Regional Park has space for big rigs, plus hiking trails, a water park, and 50-amp hookups, while Lake Fairfax Park is a family-friendly option with biking tracks and a skate park.
