Excellent location with 50 amp full hookups. Sites are not concrete pads and not perfectly level, but just level enough for levelers to auto-level. Gated campground with full service grocery store and RV parts store. Metro bus station on site will take you to subway metro station. Have stayed here 3 times. Will return and recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice campground. Overall, you can't do better in the area. The premium sites were okay and they provided clear sky for sat. The premium sites give you a little extra room and a rather tired patio furniture set, otherwise we did not notice much difference than some of the other sites. Staff is great and helpful. Store is well stocked with RV parts and such. The "parts lady" was either on vacation or away (both) during our entire 6 day visit. Staff seemed to wonder where she was and when she would be around. We did want to buy some parts, needed a little help. This campground has the most serious campground RV parts store I have ever seen. Wi-Fi was robust. Cable was robust. There is a small restaurant on-site with very reasonably priced breakfast. Metro stop is near. Grocery shopping is near. Traffic on the beltway is horrible, very aggressive drivers! The only reasons that this place does not get a 10 are: back-in premium sites had connections near the front of site which required really long runs of electric, sewer and cable. Some coaches park very far forward to compensate for this issue. The other reason is that there did not seem to be enforcement of dog walking rules that we followed but some others don't. Some dogs were off lead and pickup was not promoted as well as expected. Cleaned shoes three times. We would return to this campground but would consider a different area than the pricey premium sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is a bit pricey but it is worth it. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you are going into DC attend the information session provided by the park. It will make your trip into the city much easier. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A great park to stop in and visit DC. As the other poster stated, after using the bus to the metro subway, I would drive and park at the parking garage. Good voltage and WI-Fi. We had a back-in site (1610) and it was just big enough for our 39" 5th wheel. We parked the truck sideways if front of the 5th wheel halfway in the street. The 2 MH's next to us did the same also. Did not seem to be a problem. Sites were very close but we used this park as a place to visit DC and did not spend much time outside. I would stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My daughter and I wanted to go to Washington D.C. and this campground came highly recommended. We were not disappointed. The facility was extremely well kept. Everything was top notch. Great bathrooms, 2 pools, miniature golf, eatery and more. We were able to buy Metro (public transportation) tickets right there. The staff at the campground was very friendly and helpful. We asked for directions to visit a friend who lived about an hour away and they had pre-printed directions on how to get to the area in which he lived. I wish other places did this. All in all, I would absolutely come here again and have recommended it to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.

1. Really nice park with very helpful staff. I'd definately stay here again. 2. Roads are NARROW. If you don't have a pull-through site, avoid coming in after dark & in the rain (like I did). Fortunately, the campers across the road were available to move their truck. 3. Site was not level, which kind of surprised me, since "resort style" RV parks are usually pool table flat. 4. Site hook-ups were near the front of the site. If your hookups (water, sewer, electric) are at the rear of your RV, you'll need to park it much closer to the road. 5. We tried the bus the first day, but decided the 45 minute trip to the train station and the hour trip back wasn't worth it. Parking at the train station is $4.25/day (+ a one-time charge for a $5.00 SmartCard which lasts forever). This is a lot cheaper than the $10.80 per day you will pay for 4 people to ride the bus. We paid a bit less since we have a AAA membership. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Well, I cannot give this CG a 10, because there are no planned activities for the kids except a movie and there is no shade at all. This is a park designed for you to go visit DC. This is a bus to bring you to a metro stop, or it is a short ride by car. The pool and bathrooms were immaculate and the staff helpful. Staff did take almost an hour to come and clean out a fire ring that the previous campers did not. The sites were very small as well. Campers spent a huge amount of time in their campers as well, although it was quite hot. Playgrounds were a lot of fun and there was a nice splash pool as well. We might return if we travel the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We used this campground as a base camp for going in to DC, so although the pool and other fun things looked nice and clean, we did not have time to use them. The bathhouse was very clean. Our site was level and had a patio. It was tight but not that tight, as we certainly had room to put out our slide and awning, and it seemed everyone else did too. What is best about this campground is how easy they make it to get into DC. There is a bus station onsite. There is a metro station (with parking) about 5 driving minutes away. We arrived at this campground completely clueless as to how to get in to DC, and how to get around once in DC, and after about 10 minutes in the office, they had us on the right track, and we were good to go. There are tons of brochures and maps in the office as well. The campground gives an orientation each day on how to get into the city, which we missed, and still found the metro system extremely easy to use. This is a campground in the middle of a big metropolitan area, so the road/bus noise is unavoidable: you should know that going in. You will not feel like you are "roughing it" or even doing "real camping" but we figured since we were there to see DC, that comes with the territory. If we ever camp in the DC area again, we will definitely return to Cherry Hill Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is very big with lots of tent campers. Try to get a back-in, the pull throughs are back-to-back hookups and for the price, there is no privacy. They did have a nice presentation on how to use public transportation and sold tickets for both public and private transportation and tours. The park is close enough to DC to drive in on a Saturday or Sunday: (free parking on the weekends) which we did and took our bikes to tour the mall, monuments etc. The park needs a spruce-up. Everything was nice except the shower room floors were filthy: I had to take paper towels with me to clean the floor before taking a shower. I doubt anyone could keep them clean with the volume of people using them. I would suggest at least 2 cleanings a day, or put down the rubber mats that allow the water and dirt to pass through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the closest RV Park to Washington. This is a big park with great facilities. The staff is very helpful. Bus service to the Metro Rails is available at the park. Will definitely stay at this park whenever we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for 6 nights while touring D.C. I was very happy with the campground! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm used to staying in state parks, but was happy with the amount of room at my site. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone wanting to visit the area! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We chose Cherry Hill because of the location & strong reviews and it lived up to our expectations. We wanted a safe place to sleep while touring DC, not a park to explore, enjoy, and relax. It is easy to get to this park. The highways I-95 and I-495 are visible from around the park and are can be heard, but to get good location to the beltway that was a fair trade for us. Our site was adequate with all connections although on the the smaller side. This didn't matter much as we were touring DC and the surrounding area. Check-in was quick and smooth. The clerk gave complete information and answered all our questions pleasantly. The Metro was available as advertised & passes can be easily purchased at the office, but travel time can be one hour to get into or out of the city. It took us 2 hours on the Metro to get back to the campground from the Marines' Sunset Parade. We drove in the rest of the week & found parking without much hassle. Our whole family enjoyed the pool complex with the DC summer heat. It was clean & had plenty of chairs. My daughters enjoyed the playground with all play structures in good repair. There were even some climbing structures they hadn't seen anywhere before. My parents and sister (and her family) stayed in a rental unit and loved it. It was clean, well stocked, spacious, and air conditioned. The campground has many rentals to accommodate travelers without their own units. Cherry Hill is a well run & organized campground. There are not too many frills, but you won't need them if you are touring DC. If you want a place to park your unit & hit the road to see the area, I would recommend Cherry Hill. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Definitely an RV park more than a campground. Less than 10 minutes from metro park & ride which made daily trips to DC convenient. My kids liked all of the amenities - pool, cafe, movies. Although there are many trees, there is little shade as the most trees are along the perimeter. Also, the noise from 1-95 can be heard from throughout the park, although it is much louder in some areas than others. Most campers appeared to be passing through or tourists - so park was quiet during the day. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

It is a very nice campground and very convenient to Washington DC and area. We enjoyed our time here very much. The amp site was nice and all services worked well, pool was very nice as was the campground staff. We even had propane delivered to our site while we were in town what a great service. The only draw backs was laundry room was a bit dirty but very functional, and the price is the most we have ever paid for a site. We will definitely be back to this one if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Big and Full during the peak season. Site size works well for big rigs but a little limited on parking toad/tow vehicle at the site. Great for seeing D.C. As others have said, Metro station is about 3 miles away. We bought unlimited weekly rail pass and a parking card and traveled ourselves to the station. Much faster than the bus but, bus stops on site. Showers/bath house very clean. Well stocked RV section in the camp store. The owners are easy to work with to extend or shorten your stay. Friendly well informed staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great family park. Playgrounds and pool are updated. Family activities are planned daily. Access to D.C. tourism is well planned and as easy as D.C. transit can be. Great park for D.C. tourism or stay at park for all inclusive activities and vacationing. Travel time into D.C. is approximately 1 hour. This park gets resort status in my book. We would pay big dollars to stay at this park again in the future, it is worth every penny. We would have liked for the pool to open before 10 am and have more heating, but we still wouldn't complain. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you're looking for a campground with an easy commute to D.C. this place is great. If your looking for a place that is quiet and secluded this probably isn't the right place. All in all it's a nice campground and is well maintained, it's just that all the sites are very close to one another and don't afford you much privacy from other campers. The staff was very helpful in giving instructions into DC as well as accommodating our other requests. The highway noise isn't that noticeable except for the louder vehicles and motorcycles, but if you're used to life in the city I guess this would be a quiet retreat.

This is urban camping at its best. We stayed here because of the close proximity to DC and Baltimore, and we weren't disappointed. It was a quick, easy drive to the Greenbelt station. The wi-fi was a fast connection, the laundry was clean and spacious, the clubhouse was very nice, and the pools were fabulous. We only ran across very nice and helpful staff. The spots are close, but we were in a nice back in spot with trees. The playground was very nice and well maintained. There is some noise from the highway, and our TV picture was a little fuzzy with the cable. Overall this is a great place to park to be close to anything and everything in this area. We were there over the 4th of July, and the park was very full. It still seemed very well run. We will definitely go back to this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This expensive park is a "highway adjacent" park. Very loud highway noise can be heard throughout the park. Small sites have campers jammed together, but this is to be expected for a park near a big city. Cable TV had a fuzzy picture. WiFi was very fast. The clubhouse and pools were large and nice. The park is close to the Greenbelt Metro station which takes you into D.C. We purchased all day Metro passes for a Sunday. Due to an employee's mistakes we were forced to add money to our day passes to get back to the park. At the time we bought the tickets we even questioned the employee to make sure that we were buying day passes. He assured us this was the right pass since it was a weekend. Back at the park that night we went to the office to straighten things out. We were told to wait for the manager the next morning. We weren't given an apology or even an "I'm sorry that happened to you". We came back the next morning to talk to the manager, who was not there yet, and was told by another employee that it was our mistake. After waiting around for the manager, who was suppose to be there any minute, we ended up leaving without an apology from any employee. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All around good campground. The major benefits were it's proximity to Washington D.C. Staff was very helpful in assisting transprotation into DC, which is an easy ride by public transportation. Sites were a little small and close to each other. Pool, showers and bathrooms were very nice. On site cafe was good. WiFi signals were strong. CG is within a few miles of a major metro area, so some considerations have to be taken into that fact. It's suburban camping, not Yellowstone. I will camp there again next time we are in the DC area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is all about location, location, location! Easy access to downtown DC via public transportation. The sites are decent, although they really pack you in! They have nice pools for the kids as well as a hot tub. The camp store is decent sized, and they have on site RV service and even dog walkers (for when you're in the city)! The only thing I have negative to say is the proximity to the expressway, if you are OK with the hum of traffic, this place will suit you fine...as for everyone else, it's a small price to pay for the great location and numerous amenities.

This is a great park to stay in while visiting Washington D.C. Campsites are somewhat narrow but are on a gravel pad, with another gravel pad with picnic table & grassy area. We had no trouble with our slides & awning. There is lots to do...playground, pools, movie at night, etc. Public transportation that came into the campsite was awesome and took us right to the Metro (subway) which we used a lot. The staff was very helpful & patient with so many questions. Propane was filled at our site. There were lots of washers and dryers. Highway noise is pretty loud from all over the campground, but you can't see the highway. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a hard campground to review. You cannot beat it's proximity to Washington, DC for going into the town via the train. They are tailored for the DC tourist here with a Metro bus stop right on the grounds that will take you to the train station for your commute to town. You can buy your bus tokens and train tickets right there for your convenience. There is shopping right down the road for your groceries and such. The camp store is nice and well equipped. The pools looked maintained and the little snack bar was convenient. They will not assign a space until you get there for pull-thrus so we didn't know if we had one or not. The young man checking us in didn't look at our reservation preferences and we had to ask if it was a 50 amp pull thru and he said "oh, you want one of those." He assigned us a spot and we went to it and put down the jacks and slide outs when my wife yelled to me to hold up as it was a 30 amp site only. Great. Called the office and they sent a guy out to us. He looked to confirm it was only 30-amp and apologized and offered a back-in space for us. That was fine so we did that and they refunded the $5 extra/day they charge for the pull-thru. The sites are crowded with not much room between neighbors. The road noise from being next to Washington Beltway is VERY loud. You can hear the trucks with Jake Brakes and racing motorcycles all night long so it's best to keep the windows closed and the AC on for quiet. The personnel at the campground were not the friendliest people. They seemed to be burned out from dealing with tourists. The roads are crowded so if you don't like traffic with your rig you are going to the wrong area. We came down from the north off 29 and didn't have any problems with traffic at mid-day. Bottom line for us is Cherry Hill is just a place to crash after a long day in DC. It is not really a camping experience since it's busy, noisy and crowded. If you are spending your time in DC this is a convenient location to park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very crowded park (lots of camps sites). Front desk folks aren't the friendliest. Lots of trees, but they don't provide much sun relief. To reduce the 24 hour highway noise get a spot in the back (in the 50's number range). Pool is small for the number of campers. We drove our own car to the metro and parked for $4.25 a day. This was much cheaper and faster than catching the city bus which stops does stop in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Well, the best thing about this park is its proximity to everything in and around Washington, DC. I would have rated it higher, but I found some of the staff were not friendly and helpful. Our rate reflects Coast to Coast, but it was still quite expensive. We stayed in the park because we had to attend a wedding. Pools are quite nice, and they do have a cafe. Some of the sites are shaded. There is a security gate, which is nice for that area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only justification to stay at this park results from the easy access to the bus station which takes you to the Metro for a visit to downtown DC. Considering the premium pricing, everything else about this park is average or even poor. Our site was extremely narrow, ie hardly room for a slide-out, and certainly not the awning. Wifi was very poor to non-existent, cable tv was pitiful, we used our antenna instead. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very well established campground, like a resort, with all types of services such as propane fill at your RV, dog walking, onsite mechanic, large camping store, etc. Very clean and level site. Plenty of room for slideouts. Very easy to back-in. Our site was located across from pool, I think this is the best area to be in. Great location in general, only slight negative is that you can hear the I-95 highway noise from every campsite. Grocery store, bank, and Home Depot are only 1 minute away.

We stayed here because it was close to Washington DC and we'd stay here again for that reason. The pool are was very nice. One heated pool and one unheated, with plenty of lounge chairs and some umbrellas to sit under. There was a great hot tub in the pool area also and a full snack bar/cafe. There was a nice playground and mini-golf.They have an excellent store. On the downside, the sites are very narrow. At the back of the park where we were, the Wi-Fi was not working. We had to walk up near the conference center/pool area to get a signal. For the price we were paying I expected to get Wi-Fi at my site. Also, there were not a lot of campers enjoying the outdoors. Many class A motohomes that campers never emerged from, but that's their choice. We would probably come here again for it's location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We choose Cherry Hill based on all the positive reviews. Perhaps we have different standards than other campers, but we were not impressed. The staff was cold and not helpful. There were no activities for children other than the pool and playgrounds. The pools were very nice, and the playground was a hit with the kids but that's where our satisfaction ended. The whole park felt like a motor home parking lot. There were few trees and very little grass, but gravel was everywhere. The other campers parked their motor homes and disappeared. We like to camp where people make camp fires and eat outside and enjoy meeting new people. That was totally not the case at Cherry Hill. No one wanted to be outside. It was like a giant outdoor hotel where everyone stays in their rooms and only comes out if absolutely necessary. And the campground is VERY close to 95. We had a very hard time sleeping at night due to the traffic noise. Even our fan noise and closed windows couldn't keep out the noise of semis flying down 95. The proximity to Washington D.C. was nice, but we won't be back here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground is nice and personnel are friendly, but sites number 63 and 65 may cause problem for a given camper. Fact: Both sites above had a nest of ants in the electrical panel. Located at site 65, we sprayed the panel box before setup and solved a potential problem. However, our traveling companyions did not fare well at site 63, as ants invaded their fifth wheel. It took one full day of our three days proposed sightseening to clean out the nesting ants. Campground compensation was to buy back our tour bus tickets at $20.00 per couple. When first reported they mowed the area around our campers and simply stirred up the ant nest. Being in a low wet area of the campground these ants were looking for high and dry and found it in the camper. The couple traveled two more days before finally riding themselves of these pests.

We weren't as big of fans of this park as other reviewers have been. Yes, it is convenient to the Metro and if you don't have a car you can catch a bus from right at the entrance. We found the sites to be cramped. Our neighbors tow dolly butted up against our picnic table and we had no room for outside chairs,etc. Our site was also full of cigarette butts ( a pet peeve ) and other garbage left behind by previous users. (evidence that the sites aren't cleaned or checked between usage) We spent 16 days here and about half way through our gate code quit working. When we stopped off at the office we were told we should have been given a gate card, not a code. The clerk continued to argue with us and made some snide comments about us after we left the counter ( our friends were standing in line to get a new code as well and heard her...at least she appeared embarrassed when confronted by our friend! ) When it came time to leave we had a difficult time maneuvering our 40 foot coach through the roadway we were parked on due to all the tow vehicles and trucks parked in front of the various rigs - this is because the sites were all too short to accommodate the rigs & cars. We realize you pay a premium for convenience but we expected a bit more 'for our money'. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time camping at Cherry Hill. We liked the fact that the metro was so easily accessible by both personal vehicle (5 minutes away) and the metro bus (on-site). It’s about a 30 minute metro ride to the Washington, DC Mall area. The camp sites are maintained well, level, and easy to access. We had no problem maneuvering our 30’ trailer throughout the camp ground and backing into our site. The pools are very nice, and our three year old really enjoyed the mushroom fountain. The cafe and arcade areas are neat and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and the storefront was very well stocked with food, accessories, toys, and gift items. Our only complaint (which isn’t that big of deal) was that the mulch used for playgrounds was too rough and large, which made it tough for our three year old to maneuver. We will definitely return and are already considering Cherry Hill for our fall trip later this year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The price quoted was with a Good Sam discount. Yes, it is expensive, but worth every cent of the price. ALL campgrounds, no matter what their size or amenities should take notes from Cherry Hill Park ~ they do it right. The office, phone and check in staff, as well as maintenance staff around the campground are outstandingly friendly and helpful. It appears they take pride in their job and go out of their way to make "guests" feel welcome and realize they are in a very high tourist area. The entire property was immaculate. Yes, it may be expensive to be there but they don't charge excessively for other things - supplies in the store or firewood - seriously wood for $2.00 a bundle or 3 bundles for $5.00 - these are bundles that other places charge $6.00 for, not to mention they put piles of wood throughout the grounds "for the taking". I just loved the business mind set of this campground. If we ever return to the area I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used this campground as a home base while we explored Washington D.C. The campsites were small, and the place seems to cater to "big rigs", but it was immaculate and the service was excellent. We especially appreciated the bus stop right right at the front of the campground. Frankly, this was the reason why we chose it. We had technical problems and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. There is a small cafe on the premises, handy for hot sandwiches, fries, and stuff like that. The food was fine and not overpriced. The pool area was clean & pleasant. They have 2 pools -- one big, deep one for laps and another one with a zero-depth entry for the kids. These were both spotless, with plenty of lounge chairs and umbrella's all around. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The campground was not crowded in the least, which might explain the technique used when they made my reservation. I called two nights before for a reservation and was only asked for my name, size of my trailer and the dates I wanted to come in. I was a bit uneasy since I didn't have to leave a deposit, wasn't given a confirmation number or a site number. The morning of my arrival I called ahead to confirm and was told I could check in early if I wanted. When I arrived, there was no written reservation for us, but they checked us in with no problems. Since there wasn't a clamoring for spots, this technique worked just fine. The front office staff was very helpful and efficient. I was not aware that propane refill requests needed to be made prior to noon for same day service, and even though it was 1:30 when we checked in, they put us on the propane refill schedule. Nice service; we left the empty tank at the front of our site, and a truck came by and filled it. Rarely saw any of the other campers...it was quiet and nearly empty. The restrooms were clean and the hot water nicely hot. The laundry room is huge. Some of the pull through sites that I saw were very close together, leaving little room between slide-outs. Overall this is a fantastic campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed one week for the convenience to DC proper. We loved the location, cleanliness, helpful staff, and transit and tour buses on site. We would have given this a 10+ but because of the attitudinal armor we bumped up against due to the Wi-Fi issues and the blatant indifference by the owners to resolve or satisfy us, we rate them at a 1. Given the price (we had 10% discount with GS), there are no excuses for over-promising and nondelivery. We provided two opportunities for the owner to offer compensation. They chose to ignore our request. Wi-Fi was most important to us for this time frame, and we specifically asked at reservation time a month in advance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you will be staying in an RV while visiting the Washington DC area, this is one of your few choices and fortunately it is a good place to stay. They really cater to tourists and give you printed step by step directions for catching the bus, which stops at the park, and goes a short way to the subway station, and the trains will take you just about anywhere you want to go. There are even meetings in the late afternoon for discussing various tours. The park is extremely well maintained and seemed to have the feel of a residential neighborhood as opposed to an RV park, though there was a steady turnover of guests every day. Restrooms were rather generic but clean when I checked. The conference center has numerous meeting rooms, a good sized coin laundry, and even a small workout room. Again, all clean and in working order. Because of the urban location, you will hear road noise at all hours of the day, but the surrounding neighborhood is decent enough if you have to make a run for groceries, etc. Regarding previous posts about location of hookups and ease of getting into and out of your site, conditions seem to vary a lot so it will really depend on where you end up.

This is one of the best RV parks we have ever stayed in. Although not as pretty as some, it is reasonably attractive with good elbow room between sites. Sites are gravel and streets are paved with plenty of swing room to back in. Given the close proximity to the Capitol, the $49 rate was not unreasonable. The thing that makes this place outstanding is that it is totally for the convenience of the campers rather than the campground. The laundry room is as large as many commercial Laundromats. There is an on site restaurant. They have a total refund policy if you want to leave sooner, they will gladly let you extend your stay and will gladly move you to another site if you are not happy with your location. They have an orientation class every day at 4:00 to teach you how to use public transportation and they sell tickets at the office for all DC tours and the Metro subway. The bus stop to take you to the Metro station is IN the campground and many DC bus tours will pick you up there. It’s a bit like Disney in that you never have to use your car once you are there. The office area is huge and has an RV parts section that is larger and better stocked than many REV dealers. There are lots of work campers in the office so you seldom have to wait in line for anything. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were supposed to come in on Friday morning but got there sooner and they were very accommodating. The staff was very friendly, patient and most helpful with our myriad of questions. The campground is kept in immaculate condition. The connections to Washington DC are right at the beginning of the campground and there is a parking lot for the vehicles while touring DC. This is very convenient for traveling to DC. We had a pull through site that we would have found to be very tight if we were not next to our traveling companions. In spite of that, the sites are very level and easy to access. We would certainly recommend this campground and would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is an excellent facility for any type of camping. The pool area, shower houses, cafe, office, laundry and camp store were all very nicely kept and convenient. It is close to Washington, D.C. and is a bus stop to the metro bus connecting you to the subway system. It is a convenient way to stay in the metro area and see the D.C. sites. The staff was very helpful and can provide you with tickets to attractions, tours, and transportation. If you are planning a vacation to D.C and want to camp, this is the place to stay!

A nice enough park if you're looking to RV near DC, but Wi-Fi was a constant problem. Even when a strong signal was available, it was so slow as to be useless. I called the office and was berated and then hung up on by an employee who claimed that if we got a signal, that's all they could do and there was no one to escalate the problem to. The owner did come to our unit and apologize to us for his behavior, but also thought there was nothing wrong with his wireless. I then talked to several people and they all had the same slowness. Those people were all at the rec center by the pool which Mike and John both said was the strongest signal in the park (we were parked just across from that center). As you can see, Wi-Fi is very important to me. It's part of what allows me to travel all summer, that I can work remotely. We 'might' stay here again, but I'll arrange for other Wi-Fi access and not depend on it. I'd rather go back to the Hotel Harrington (hotelharrington.com) where the Wi-Fi worked great and I could walk to the sites every day rather than taking a loooong convoluted bus ride to a Metro station at the end of the line. It took an hour minimum to get into (and then out of) the city each day. When I add up my convenience and work access, this was no bargain. The campground itself was nice - sites are close together, but the pool was very fun and the people in the office (other than one) were very nice and the people in the snack bar were outstanding! Those poor folks are working hard and the food is good! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a well-kept campground very close to DC. it is easy to ride metro bus from the campground to the metro rail station in College park. it is also close enough to park at metro and ride metro rail into town. This is our second stay here, first was in 2002. Most of the sites are very small. We got a pull-thru site which was long, but still didn't offer much room. It was typically hot while we were there with temperatures in the mid 90s, so the pools were a welcome relief. The pools were beautiful and well maintained. There was a nice snack bar, TV room, store, and office. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Site hookups were so-so. The 41 Channel DirecTV they offered was fuzzy, but did offer 5 HBO Channels. The Wi-Fi was extremely slow on our site as well. This campground also has great policies. If you don't like your site you can switch sites, and if for any reason you wanted to leave early they will refund your money, and not charge a processing fee. Overall, this is a well-maintained campground, and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to explore DC. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the closest and most convenient park to DC. We loved the convenience of taking the Metro Bus to the Metro Rail. This campground really goes out of their way to service you. However, they seemed very overworked and a wee bit cranky at the end of the day - I found the workampers to be more friendly. The staff wasn't mean - I could just tell they wanted to go home. Another concern I had was that because it was the end of the line of the bus, several homeless often visited the bus shelter to sleep, drink, etc... I never saw staff shoo them away. They didn't seem to cause a problem, however, on July 3, staff did post a sign that several items had been stolen from campers (car radios, bikes, etc...). Their entry gate was broken at the time also. We were fortunate in that we were not there in the day as we were sightseeing so we didn't leave anything out unattended. The sites around the pond, while beautiful, can be tricky to get into - I kinda trimmed an evergreen trying to back my rig in. But all in all, it was a pleasant stay here - the store is full of items that you may not even get from Camping World. The restaurant and open air movie theater on site was neat - and the pools were well maintained and lifeguarded. I did have a problem with kids younger than 16 being in a hot tub unsupervised, but I have no problems letting smaller children know they need to bring their parents back if they wish to enjoy the amenities (the teacher in me). Campers staying, too, were very friendly. We would stay here again without hesitation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wonderful!!! I don't know what else someone could ask for except a little larger site. They have an orientation talk about Washington, sell all the bus/train tickets and the city bus picks up by the office. The office staff knows everything about tranfers, senior prices and metro routes. About 1 hour each way on bus and metro and no driving or parking to worry about. What a relief not to go into Washington with out a clue. A very well run operation and staffed by pro's. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We traveled to Maryland to visit Washington DC and selected this campground due to its proximity to the Metro station (end point for Metro Bus route). The first site we were given was too small for our 5th wheel and we called the office from our truck and they gave us 2 other sites to check out and were told to take the site we liked the best. While the 2nd site was larger it also backed up to a freeway and it was very loud. I liked the fact the campground had a recycling program for waste, in my experience most do not. The pool and the bathrooms were very clean and in nice condition, I would have liked to see them do a better job of mowing the lawn. Overall, I would stay at this campground again.

This is a great little/convenient campground. The sites are a little tight but spend a little for a premium and it's fine. Also, end sites in other areas give you more room in front. Wi-Fi was OK...but slow. Pools were clean. Campground is well kept. Shuttle to metro comes into campground frequently. We chose to drive the few miles and park at metro. Also, if you drive into DC on weekend there's plenty of parking. Night time also. Store is great, has a huge RV part with everything you could want/need for the RV. We had a great time. Campground doesn't have any activities but we weren't there for the campground, we were there to sightsee. Been here twice this year and will return. Also, they offer AAA or Good Sam discounts.

This park is close to DC, as well as Baltimore. The wifi is marginal, it is grossly over taxed, I counted 21 workstations on, and the network was a snail. The spaces are tight and the wsater is at the front of the site, and the electric is at the back... interesting! The heated pool was not. They shut the pool heater off, a heated pool would have been nice! The employees are great. The park is on the Metro, and there is usually plenty of parking at the bus stop. I rated a FIVE because of the pool, wifi that I could not hit even with an external antenna outside the coach, and paying extra for having two kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I live 10 miles from here and have stayed at all the campgrounds around DC, and this is the place to be if you are going to visit DC. We camped here while testing out our new RV. I selected a “Premium” site, which means I had some patio furniture and a decent view. The good points are it is close to Metro (our subway system) and it has a bus stop on premises which will get you there, it also had tourist buses which will take you directly to DC. The bathrooms were clean, The have a small convenience store with limited RV supplies a cafe and a game room, the two pools (one heated) were very nice as was the spa (hot tub). The free Wi-Fi had a strong signal however my site was near office. There was a security guard at a booth and a working gate. They had tourism lectures, movies and good cable selection. Now for the rough spots. The gravel sites.... please for the money that we are paying I expect paved parking pads, my four wheel drive truck was spinning four wheels while going up on boards trying to level. There is a lot of highway noise and you never really get used to it. I also thought the sites were a little close but in this area its just the way it is. Overall this is a very good campground. We have stayed here before and we will definitely stay here again in fact I already have reservations. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only negative is that the sites are close together. WiFi needs much to be desired as the signal was weak which caused frequent disconnects. Pool looks nice (wasn't open on my visit).

I agree with the previous reviewers. This is the place to be if you are going to go into Washington DC. The Metro bus stop in the campground is perfect. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are a few rough spots however. You can wait 15 minutes or longer for help in the office because the staff are all tied up giving advice to other people about how to use the transit system. It would be nice if they had at least one person that was not used for advice and could be dedicated to helping check in other people or to take our money for store purchases. The roads are paved but the sites are gravel. For the money that we are paying I would expect paved or cement parking pads too. We had lots of ants in the gravel around our site. Cement would have kept them away from our rig. The grass is in poor condition and was over 8" high around our rig. They finally cut it with a weed whacker which made a mess all over the sides of our motorhome and made the grass look uneven. They did not pick up the 8"clippings either. It rained while we were there and we had several inches of rainwater pooled on the grass. There are tall trees around but they do not shade most RVs because their placement is wrong. The water fill is PVC plastic and sits up 12" to 18" and is not supported. Watch out that you don't break yours. There is a lot of freeway noise and sirens all night long. Please be aware that some of the pull throughs in the back have side by side hookups which makes it pretty close for rigs with slides on both sides. They will not give weekly or monthly rates in March or later. Having said all of the above, the location is good, the staff is friendly and I would go back unless they get some competition in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the only game in town if you want to be close and have a little hand holding for a D.C tour. Stayed here 2 weeks while touring D.C. Park is large so look at the site map before choosing a site. Very accommodating staff. You can check out early with full remaining refund and can move to another site if you find a better one while there. (They have many different types of sites so ask questions.) Metro bus and gray line tours stop at the campground, very convenient. Staff was great with directions, tour info, etc. This is a very busy park that caters to D.C tourists. If you have a touring question they probably have the answer. They also conduct a "how to" class in the evenings on touring D.C. Good laundry, good pools, cafe on site, overall good place to stay. There are some negatives. Biggest is traffic noise, this park sits in a semicircle of I-95/I-495, interstate on 3 sides. After a couple of days we felt like we were sleeping under an overpass. Second is site condition. This park gets a lot of use and is very crowded, our gravel site was sloped heavily, soft gravel and generally rough. Wi-Fi was OK but not great. It was free so can't complain too much. Although the park has a security guard shack and gate we rarely saw the guard, and the gate was broken (open) the majority of the time. Don't let these negative sway you from staying here. Overall it worked out very well for us, and we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you want to visit DC, this is THE place to stay. The park serves as the end of the metro line, so it is easy-breezey to get to in-town attractions. Tour busses also come to the site. Internet is free. It has the best TV that I have ever experienced while camping (3 HBO channels) The park has trees, but because of the layout of the sites, none are shaded, so the advertisement of shaded sites is not quite accurate. The trees are behind the units, not beside them. The row of permanents have shade in the mornings, but these are not available to the casual camper. The sites are rather short - except for the pull-throughs. This park is situated alongside I95 and the Beltway, where the two roads merge. Combine the heavy traffic caused by this, complete with the jake-brakes of the many trucks, add the air traffic from military and commercial airports, the helicopters from private executives, park police, as well as the infernal sirens from police and fire/rescue, and you will discover why people stay inside watching TV when they are not out exploring the nation's capitol. Staff is very friendly. Store is well-stocked. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The city bus comes right into the park entrance to pick you up as does Gray Line tours. For seeing Washington DC you cannot beat this park. The campsites are more than adequate and level. The park is laid out very well and very clean. The orientation that they offer gives you a great overview of how to get around Washington and an idea of the cost.

Electric, water and sewer services good. Sites are very close together. We did notice on arrival that our neighbor had at least 5 dogs (probably more) and 2 parrots! First night OK, but second night barking from dog next door (very near to our bedroom window) kept us awake. Complained to office - unhelpful. Upon pressing, offered us another site which was about half a mile away down the end of the campground - this was nearer to the interstate road and there was too much traffic noise. We looked around and found another pull-through site near the park entrance, which was luckily available. Moved there during the morning. Another neighbour at our new site, then brought her dog onto our site and exercised it! Lost for words! We were thinking of staying for extra nights, but changed our minds, we'll be staying long enough.

Nice park. Very large. Lots of amenities. Nice pools. The staff is very helpful for touring the capitol, and you can get to it without driving into the city. Overall, it gets high marks. But I was expecting a whole lot more for $75 a night for 6 people, including $5/night for each extra person. Our site was gravel. The only way the trailer would fit was to back it right into the bank of the land behind the site. The back of the trailer hung out a good 12 feet beyond the parking area. And the site backed up against the I95 freeway, which is constantly way noisy. The truck had to go in sideways in front of the trailer and hang out in the road. I'm still in sticker shock for these places on the east coast compared to the same thing anywhere else. I wouldn't come back here except to tour the capitol again. It's price doesn't justify the value compared to other places I've been. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

GREAT! That’s all I can say about this park! It was very clean and well kept, and the staff was friendly. They offer a lot of activities to do on site. One of the things we liked the most is they offer poop bags for the dogs around the site, very helpful for those “accidents!” They have a lake in the center of the park you can sit around and it is lit up at night. Right by the highway for easy access to DC or Baltimore, and you can hear the traffic at night, but it’s no big deal for what the park offers.

We were here to visit the DC area and not the RV park. But, this is one of those parks that can entertain you in the park and still serve the needs of those like us who are here to see the area and not the park. There is a Metro bus that runs pretty frequently to and from the subway system and tickets available at the park for both the subway and bus system. The staff was helpful and the lady running the ticket center was very knowledgeable about the best ticket options. There is a strip mall just down the street with a grocery and other items. The park is a bit on the pricey side so, we would stay here again but would look around a bit more to see if we could come up with a better value. We stayed here in a Fifth Wheel.

Like others here, we went to visit D.C.. The sites were a little closer then what we were used to but then again, you are camping in a city. The staff was great. They couldn't do enough for us. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. We would go back again if we visit the D.C. area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What can you say about this place. Well kept for a large park. nice large showers and bathrooms. I was surprised to have a fire ring at our site and be able to use it, fajitas were on the grill. While this no New York transportations system it works fairly well. Metro from the Park to DC then train in and back, No problems whatsoever. The pools were crowded but I'm not a pool person, I'm a get relaxed, have a cold beverage in the AC or grill something under the awning then watch a movie type person. Staff was helpful, very large parts store. If you like Italin or pizza there's a place up the street called Mama Lucia, I believe in a strip center next to a local grocery story, Extremely good thin crust pizza, get one load and eat on it for a few days. I will visit this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The positive aspects of this campground include easy access to DC via Metro bus, which picks up right at the campground; lovely, clean, heated swimming pool; very friendly staff members; and clean bathrooms/showers. The negatives were very small, narrow campsites; carnival and migrant workers living there; and the inability to have a campfire at night. The fire ring was literally 12 inches from the picnic table. This is a great place to stay for easy access to D.C., and we would do it again. At $50 per night with our Good Sam discount, it was far cheaper than staying at a hotel. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes, and we were near the playground, which is well-kept. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground is great in aspect of where it is and what it is mainly used for. Which is to travel into D.C. for vacationing homes. The facilities were in excellent condition the pools were amazing the outdoor movies were fun. Definitely will go back again its just not one of my favorites because I don't know much about the park except its where I stay when we travel to D.C. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 3 weeks and went sightseeing into Washington DC and the surrounding area for 2 solid weeks. The city bus comes into the park itself to the end-of-the-line bus stop, then takes you to the Metro rail line station so you catch a subway ride into the city. The staff is wonderful, the grounds are great. We had a roomy site near the recreation hall, restaurant, laundry, pool. The facility is located on a couple of small hills so daily walks were refreshing. This a very complete campground. They have a high water pressure and will warn you about it upon check in. Make sure you have a pressure regulator for your water intake hose or it will blow out your line. We loved this place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Dismal, dismal, dismal! Transient circus workers speed in their vehicles and made a mess of the park. Management couldn't care less. "They've been coming here for years...", was their excuse. Poorly maintained sites (gravel and grass with pot holes and muck!). Just a run-down, over-priced cruddy campground. Competition needed here to force these people to clean up their act. We stayed here in a half a million dollar coach and what a disappointment. Very much a take it or leave it staff. Again -- too bad there isn't any competition in the area.

This is an extremely nice park for anyone wishing to visit the DC area. The staff are very helpful and well informed about the area. You can catch a Metro bus right at the park which will take you to the downtown DC attractions. We live about an hour away in Maryland and this was our 3rd visit to the park in 2 years. This is our first trip of the year 'shakedown park' to be sure everything is working after winter storage and once we met friends here for a short weekend visit. The facilities are spotless. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The park is well maintained. There is a nice, small fishing pond and a nature trail for hiking. There is a very large pet park with plenty of room for exercising your dog. It is not fenced. The sites are not wooded but there are trees between the rows of RV's affording some camping ambiance but we rolled our awning up when we built campfire because of the narrowness of the site. We have met people from all over the country at this park. They were all here to visit the sites in DC. We stayed at the park and found that even if the park is full you will rarely see anyone because they are all out sightseeing during the day so we pretty much had the park to ourselves. The rates seem a little high but considering the area and how well maintained the park is, the rates are not far out of line. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I agree with the previous reviewers that this is a hard call. The park had lots of amenities and other things going for it. Being the closest RV park to downtown DC was a big plus and the main reason we put up with some of the less desirables things. We appreciated the staff changing our reservation twice without penalty when we were delayed by bad weather. There were lots of cable channels and the WiFi was free and strong. Their 2 pools looked pretty; their restaurant seemed nice (although we didn’t try it); there is a big laundry room (but it needed cleaning); and their tour desk was very helpful and provided a convenient way to get advance tickets. They were very knowledgeable about the metro and were patient with us newbies trying to understand it. However. . . . . . for over $50 a night (before discount) we felt the basics needed to be a bit better. The roads were narrow and the sites were just OK. They were gravel with some grass and looked crowded and a bit messy throughout most areas of the park. The sites were small in length and width. Our toad had to be parked almost in the street, and many others were in the street. Our site was pretty un-level. There was a table, grill, and fire ring at each site, but there really wasn’t room to have a fire. Our neighbors did, and this was the first unpleasant experience we have had with smoke blowing into our RV. I almost reserved a super site and was really glad I didn’t. They were not any bigger or prettier and were definitely not worth the difference in price. The ladies’ showers in the bath house nearest us were acceptable, but the men’s were was always a mess. The facilities were better in the conference center. Finally, the group of people mentioned by the previous reviewers was still there. The good news was they were mostly all grouped together in the back of the park. The bad news was that because of this their area was extremely crowded and messy. The really bad news was that our site was very close to that area. We saw several trailers that appeared to have 5 separate living quarters. Some just had a blanket over the door. There were large trucks and cargo trailers parked everywhere. It was hard just to drive down the street because of all the vehicles sticking out, and they seemed to constantly shuffle vehicles around. However, they were not noisy, and our RV faced away from their area so we did not have to constantly see the mess. We would stay here again simply because of the location, but we sure wish they would make some improvements. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very tough park to review. Location is terrific, even the local Metro has an in-park service, enabling one to go from the campground to downtown D.C. etc. by bus/subway. Excellent. Bad news is campground is getting run down, has little campground rules enforcement and have carnival workers living on site, and/or migrant workers. To us this is just not acceptable, plus it's not cheap. What they need is some competition. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a tough call. On the one hand this is a well kept park right out of DC. We have been there before a few years ago. My negative was some of the clientele at the park the 5 days we were there this spring. There were a number of sites at the end of the park occupied by a Carnival troup. Now I know you can't ask people what they do for a living when you rent an rv spot to them, it should have been a tip off that there were 15 people in each huge trailer. The people were not a problem, but to be honest, I would have been uncomfortable leaving my teenaged or pre-teen kid alone for any time at all. Clearly the management knew about this issue - when I spoke quietly to the manager, she acknowledged the issue, and said she would convey my thoughts to the owners. This was it. I just am not comfortable with a family CG having such occupants. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park! We stayed here in two different sites and stored the RV here while we went to NY. Both we stayed at were across from the Community Center. The first was on a corner and had a very large grass area next to the rig. The second was much tighter quarters. The laundry facility here is the biggest and nicest I've seen. They have a restaurant on site, as well as a phenomenally stocked RV supply store. Getting to DC is a breeze from here. The bus stops in the park and takes you to the metro station. It takes about 40 minutes, but no hassles and they sell tickets in the park. The staff are all nice and very helpful. The only downside is that restaurants in the area are pretty thin pickings, though the bagel shop and Noodles across from the university were good finds. Traffic noise isn't too bad, considering location. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is pricy, but it is worth the price. It is located 2 miles from the Washington DC Metro station for easy access to downtown DC. Tickets are available at the office. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. A free Thanksgiving dinner is planned for all campers. The cafe prepares excellent breakfast. Given that the average family would pay 2 1/2 times for a hotel or motel in the area, this campground is not unreasonably priced. The facilities are clean and the campground well lit, maintained and secure. The sound of the beltway traffic may bother some but this is about the only camping alternative near DC. I highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Despite the good facilities, their prices are outrageous, $55 per night!!! In addition, they charge an added $5 daily for wireless. We received a fax at the office - they charged an extra dollar for that service. We have stayed at better parks for very much less. Their only advantage is the location near the Washington attractions. On the other hand, their location is also a detractor - the noise from the two adjacent major interstate highways is very loud and incessant. We would not stay here again, other than the fact that we have friends in the area and the next closest park suitable for our rig is very far away. They need some competition.

This is a great park. It has an abundance of amenities including pools, a hot tub, sauna bath, cafe, RV Store and countless others. The staff is very helpful and all are well versed in train and bus schedules for DC sightseeing. There are only two deficiencies that keep me from rating this a 10... the small gravel sites and the charge for wi-fi. Wi-fi has become as important as water and electric and should be included in the daily fee. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When researching our trip, this campground seemed to be the hardest to gauge, so I chose it knowing that we might have some issues. I can now simply state that it is one of the finest, best run, and best located campgrounds that I have had the pleasure to stay at. If you are looking for a rural, pastoral location, away from the sounds of the city, this is not your campground. If you are looking for the best location for touring Washington DC and Baltimore I cannot recommend a better location. The location of Cherry Hill is tricky to locate, so use their directions if you do not have onboard GPS. It is located in a bastion of country squeezed between about 3 major freeways. You cannot see these roads from within the park, however, you can hear the low ebb of road roar in the background most of the time. Our RV is pretty well insulated, so we did not hear it, but it did not dissuade numerous pop up and tent campers that we saw. I have read that the sites were too close together. If you are used to a national or state park with huge sites then yes they are smaller. I found no more problems getting in and setting up than any other private campground. Upon checkin they will give you a mountain of information about the area, including detailed information about bus and Metro train schedules. They are on the bus route to the local Metro station but we chose to drive and park. Check with the office and let them advise you on what is necessary to do this. Payment for parking is a bit confusing but the staff will have you prepared like a local. In our opinion the Metro is the ONLY way to visit DC, do not attempt to drive and park downtown, it will only serve to confuse you and take valuable touring time. The parking cost is a lot more than the train station and your only two miles from the campground! Baltimore is about a 30 minute drive North. We went on the weekend and found no problem parking in the Inner Harbor area, but I recommend getting there early, especially if you drive a big truck. Parking can be expensive here as well. Cherry Hill tries to offer as much as possible at the campground, pools, laundry, a small cafe, rv parts shop and the usual camp store for sundries. It is more expensive that staying out in the country, but it is well worth the cost for increased touring time and less driving time. I would highly recommend that you stay here when visiting the area. How highly? In five years of touring I have only given out one other 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only negative is that the sites are somewhat close together. There are grocery stores close by as well, for more than the one or two items that you may need. The Camp store is one of the most well stocked we have ever seen as far as rv supplies, as well as food and goodies!!! Its well worth the trip, ans as others have said it may be full but there never seems to be a lot of people there!!!

In our opinion, this park is everything a good RV park should be. From speedy, information-filled check-in to helpful staff to well-kept, well-organized surroundings to incredibly easy access to all the sights in DC, this park has it all. Metro bus picks you up on site and whisks you to subway. On July 4th, when the city bus stopped running to return people to the park after the fireworks, Cherry Hill provided its own bus transportation from subway back to park--FREE! Sites could be wider and freeway noise can be a bit of a problem, but what do you expect from a place that is right in the middle of the action? We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is well maintained and appears to be a nice park, but I had a poor expereince. The other campers around me were not very pleasant at all. Everyone is so hurried and inconsiderate. My site had old cigarrette butts and beer cans in the fire ring and I could not use the rear leveling jacks because of a drainage pipe (there was a 2 foot gully behind my site). The site was very difficult to get my 31 foot tt into, mostly because all the neighbors where parked all around and gave you very little space. It is very tight in most spaces here. I would recommend it only for overnight stays and even then only if I had to. Bottomline is that if I had payed 25 dollars I would give it a 9/10, but 51 dollars was way too much for what you got at this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I would never stay here again, I would have rather spent two nights in a walmart parking lot. This place is more like a trailer park not an RV park. The sites were barely big enough to pull in, and then to choose whether to put the awning out or start a camp fire. Unkept park with grass shin high, site still had garbage from last visitor. People do not pick up after their pets and loose dogs were seen running through the park. All sorts of people live at this park, especially irresponsible drivers doing burnouts next to the childrens playground. Long term residents can be noticed by the garbage piling up around there aging rigs and trailers. So disappointing driving across the country to arrive at a dump like that.

This is the place to be if you want to tour DC. while camping. The staff does an excellent job of providing all the information you need for a great trip. The site we had was more than adequate, not nearly as tight as some other reviewers would have you believe. There was plenty of room for a picnic table and a fire ring. Maintainance is a bit lacking. One site near us was used as a mini "junkyard", with a campground truck and golf cart that odviously hadn't been used in a while. This is very much an urban campground, surrounded by the beltway, rt 95, and a very busy surface street. Traffic noise is constant, but hardly unexpected in this situation.

There aren't too many campgrounds for which you can check "yes" to every single item (other than having an oceanfront site) in the review. Cherry Hill does in fact provide every possible service for every type of camper there is. From cabins, yurts, tent sites, big rig super sites, etc. For the rver who wants to sightsee in D.C. this is the only FULL SERVICE campground convenient to transportation and the greater metro area. That said, it's crowded, sites in some areas are tighter than others. Half the sites back up to the interstate ramps and are very noisy 24/7. If you can get a site back up away from the road it's less noisy but the roar is still there. In addition we have noticed an increase in permanent residents, many with old trashy rigs and personal belongings scattered around the site. 6' tall Plastic storage cabinets, recreational stuff, carpets in place so long the grass is growing inward. This is something Cherry Hill Management ought to at least manage. If you are going to begin allowing permanent, long term residents, at least have some standards regarding how crowded the site can become with personal belongings. These folks are scattered throughout the park so you may or may not be placed next to one of them. They are the only game "in town" other than regional county parks with limited hookups, so if you prefer a more rustic environment consider one of them. If you need/want full service amenities and incredible convenience, Cherry Hill is still the one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
