Great Park For Non Park Snobs

I love this Park. It is an older Park, with well worn bath houses and most sites set up for old Station wagon and a tent... ie, a lot of them are not level. But there are some that are level and pleasant. What is best about this park is proximity to metro. There is a bike path from loop D down to College Park metro, about 15 minutes. And then metro right into the Mall, your choice of stops. Bath house has hot water for dish washing and showers. Park is all wooded, but you can still hear traffic from surrounding major highways surrounding the 1000 acre Park. But, hey, it is a pleasure to get back to your campsite for the evening, and have a mostly quiet, still, night ahead. $10 is for senior pass. It's the BEST!

Just OK

Great location and price. Close for trips to DC. Wooded and quiet. Loop D bathhouse shabby and not well tended - spider webs that haven't been disturbed for some time. Paved back-in site was just wide enough for my TT.

Nice stay and Ranger Doug was helpful and welcoming. Not too far from downtown by Metro.

Amazing location, the surroundings are so peaceful, lovely trails to walk through the park. Friendly park ranger with some helpful information. Easy access to the Metro and straight into DC. Men’s showers were good, women’s were not great. Unfortunately no water and electric but there is a drinking water pump and dump station. Book on government parks website as the staff can’t do it on site.

Eight Nights

Deep quiet forest in the middle of suburbia. Great location and price. Lots of open spaces. Toilet and shower facilities were just OK. Watch out for ticks and there is lyme disease. Only a short drive to the end of the train line and station to go to DC and the museums and all the site seeing areas. Six full days of site seeing still wasn't enough. We were there June 2017.

Nature In The Middle Of Suburbia!

Love the beauty, serenity, and peaceful atmosphere this park provides. But love that shopping and cheeseburgers are ONLY minutes away if necessary. The camp hosts are friendly but stay more than a few days and you feel almost harassed to leave with their daily questioning of "now when did you check in because it's seems like you've stayed to long" on our fourth day was a little premature BUT then when we got a notice to vacate because we had overstayed our fourteen day limit on the thirteenth day, we left flat! Half the campground is closed and it's always very empty but I guess the faster you get out the less work for them so they make you feel watched and hurried otherwise I'd give more stars!

ok for the price

at $16 per night, it's ok but for a national park, one expects more loops have indoor restrooms & showers sites have pads for your car or rv and a grill
