The tent sites are large and shaded. The site we had was shaded so much so that it was about 10 degrees cooler at our site than it was by the pool. Showers are clean and well maintained. Pool is very nice and kept up. We were very happily surprised at how nice this campground was. Quite often being a tent camper you find yourself out in an area away from everyone and everything, that was not the case here. We will be going again! We camped here in a Tent.

My wife and I stayed here for six days thru July 8, 2009. We've been on this trip for a month now and I found this park to be one of the best. WiFi is flawless and fast. Cable has about one hundred channels (including the digitals). Weekend activities offered are great. Movie night, karioke, popcorn. This park surpasses many of the KOAs we stay at. The park is very quiet. No road noise at all, no planes, no trains. The swimming pool is large and has lifegurards. The park store includes a snack bar where you can get pizza, soft pretzels, hamburgers and dogs. The store itself is well stocked with RV supplies and carries a more than adequate supply of grocery items. Prices seem to be typical for most RV convenience stores. There is a horseshoe area, playground, and miniature golf. There are three conveniently located bathhouses on the property, all well-maintained and clean. There is a good selection of lots - both pull through and back in, tent sites, cabins and a couple of cottages. Everyone on the staff is friendly and very helpful. The park is close enough to the DC area (25 minutes to the metro station) to make daily trips possible and far enough away to avoid most of the rush hour traffic and noise. It is also close enough to Chesapeake Bay to make a day trip there enjoyable. The rates are ten to fifteen dollars per day more than I'm accustomed to paying, but in this case I feel we got more than our money's worth. They are much less than RV parks closer to the capital. One of my wife's fondest wishes was to come to DC to do the tourist thing. We finally did so this year and our stay at Duncan's only enhanced the experience. We plan to return next summer, probably for a two-week visit. I highly recommend Duncan's Family Campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent a week here as I wanted to see D.C. The campground is about 20 minutes to the D.C Metro which we loved. Our site was level and shaded and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing that I didn't like was that the staff requested that you wear a wrist band supplied by them during your time in the campground, which was only a minor inconvenience. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Office staff was very accommodating. This was our first time out in the 5th wheel. The pull thru sites are large and have plenty of space. Front desk staff very nice. Nice family run place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Decent location, Could be very nice but is not kept up as well as it could be. Some sites do not drain well and were very muddy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Duncans is great! We stayed with our 4 grand kids (ages 8 & under)on Kids Weekend. They loved it. The playground and all the activities gave them plenty to do. The staff was super. Great locations outside of Annapolis Maryland. Check the web page and schedule of events for a great weekend. We will be back there several times in 2009. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found it to be a very nice park. The staff are all very friendly. Tours are available to D.C. and are a little pricy. The only bad part is the mud if it rains, however; they grade the roads after each storm. We will stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is just a glorified state park – a two star park with a five star price. The whole place was dirty. The sites are mud pits – the roads are potholed. The bathrooms were so dirty and disgusting that we walked in and then walked right back out. The trees hang so low that you are scared to move. It seems that all they want is your money and they don’t want to give you any value for it. The front desk girl acted as if we were bothering her and she kept wiping her nose on her hand then handing us stuff. Would NEVER stay here again. We camped here in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pros: Easy access to Washington DC and Metro station. Large pullthru sites. Cons: Offers WiFi but must go to office. Sites are mostly dirt and become muddy and stay muddy after rainy days. The price reflects the area but is not a good value. Would maybe stay again as an over night, but not long term. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very disappointing, office is nice and clean so we assumed everything else was newer and well maintained, but it isn't. We tried to stay long-term but left during the first few days. There are only 3-50 amp sites in the whole campground. Only 30 amp sites are in extended stay area. Some of the roads aren't very well maintained. We don't think we would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

we were there for Easter and it was very nice. A little chilly,and some snow. The staff was great! They had the craft activities in the office, due to the bizarre weather. The Easter bunny came and the owner took pictures of the kids. We want to try to come back for kids weekend. The bathhouse was clean, playground and minigolf were nice and well kept also. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I was looking on the net for a place to go camping with my family and Duncan's popped up. So I looked into it and thought it might be a good place to take my wife and our kids. When we arrived at the campground it looked so pretty. The bath house was very clean and my kids were very excited to play on the neat playground. As we checked in to the campground the office staff gave me everything I needed, they were so nice to us. One of the ladies had given me a paper that said they were having an Easter weekend. I thought that was so nice of the campgrounf to do something like that for the kids. They must love all the activities that they do there because the activities director was just amazing with the kids.We had a wounderful weekend and we will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here while visiting Washington DC with our children during spring break. The park is older and in need of some upkeep. The office staff was ok, but we had to ask for information about the metro, shopping, etc. things that most parks near tourist attactions will have ready for you when you check-in; we had to ask for and they seemed a little disorganized. The shower houses were rarely clean although we did see them cleaning them as we left. It rained during our visit and we got to exprience the muddy campsites and terrible roads inside the grounds. I haven't even started to talk about the area of DC this park is located in. We had debated between Cherry Hill or this one. We made the wrong choice. The metro is over a 30 minute drive to get to the station. The ride in takes almost an hour to get to downtown. It cost our family (5) almost $40/day in metro fare to travel back and forth. I picked up a local paper near our campground and was not surprised to learn that violent crime was unusually high for March of 07. There is a trailer park across the street from the campground. We got to hear a local involved in a domestic disturbance on one night and then the police chopper a few minutes later. Lets just say that we will not be back. We will however visit the DC area again, just not at this park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I should have listened to the recent review. I was very disappointed with the park. I had stayed there a year ago and thought there would be improvement. I am one who always checks the Sex Offender Registry before I go anywhere and I was shocked to see that there is someone who lives in the campground and is on the staff. I have two teenage daughters and will not camp there again. When I mentioned it to the owner she just blew it off as if it wasn't a big deal. And about the staff, there is a young girl who works in the office and she could not give me a straight answer about anything. She was pre-occupied and appeared to be hungover. This is not good for business. The older lady in the office was very helpful, but the owner is arrogant. This could be a very nice campground but muddy campsites when it rains and dog poop on the sites is not my kind of camping. I will not camp there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We normally are tent campers, but rented one of the campground's travel trailers for Thanksgiving. After an Extremely rocky start - no propane, so no heat, key broke in lock, and other things, the campground staff rallied and went above and beyond to make things right. The restrooms in the rear of the park are old and unheated, but the ones in the front are new and look great. Ditto on the playground, the one in front is new, and the one in the rear is old. All and all, it was a good base for Washington DC, if you want something a little more inexpensive than College Park, which we did. We will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have camped at allot of Maryland campgrounds, and this is one of the nicest ones yet. From other reviews I have no idea where people would be upset. The staff was fantastic, the site was big and clean, and the halloween activities where a blast. I personally meet the owner and she was not at all like stated before. By talking to regular campers there has been allot of improvements though out the past couple years. Some things mentioned that has improved is bathhouse, mini-golf, playground and pool. We are going back this summer! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I had booked this campground prior to reading the reviews. I was nervous to stay after I saw the reviews. We arrived on a Friday and were very suprised at how nice it was. There were permanent residents and they were very friendly. Our site was level and clean. The staff was very friendly. A new playground was being installed and is almost complete. The putt-putt golf was very nicely done and only $2.00 to play. The pool was great and had a slide which my 3 children loved. Lifeguards were always on duty. They had a movie night, a flashlight lollypop hunt, horseshoe tournament for the dad's, crafts for the kids to make a Father's Day gift and cake and ice cream for the dads. The staff was very helpful when a fellow camper hooked up his motorhome and found that his cord wasn't any good. This is a campground we will stay in again and again. My kids loved it and it was very relaxing for the parents. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had read the reviews and were also glad we did not listen to them. We arrived at the campground on Friday, 5/26/06, the staff was wonderful. They were helping in assisting us with our trip to DC. They provided a shuttle van (for a small fee) to the local subway station. That made our trip very worry free. Our campsite was clean and the park was bustling with campers. The pool was opened, and the mini-golf had been re-done. They are in the process of getting a new playground and they had pictures of what it looks like. They also have re-done another playground on the property and my 2 yr. old grandson had so much fun. There was a devastating fire last year that burned the store and office. They are temporarily in the Recreation Room with limited supplies but they had everything I needed. There is a new bathhouse with a great laundry room. I liked the new bathhouse because it is private. Our stay was wonderful. There were so many activities that weekend that we were tired at the end of our stay. We will be returning for a weekend a month until October. We really look forward to coming back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is very poorly maintained. Many long-term residents in aging, decaying rigs surrounded by junk. Next to a road with a lot of heavy truck traffic, so very noisy too. The interior roads are narrow and the gravel hasn't been replaced in years. Electric and water hookups are ancient, wrapped in rotting foam and electrical tape. The staff were friendly enough, but the whole place just felt neglected and unpleasant. Except for the entrance -- which was deceptively clean. I would stay here again if it was just an overnight on the way somewhere else, but I wouldn't bring the family here on vacation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I'm giving this campground a 10 because It was the best campground i had ever stayed at. The staff there was so nice and very very helpful to me and my family. They have a new office that looked wonderful. My kids had a blast there they loved the lower playground and the mini gulf.We heard some not so good things about this campground, we thoght is anything perfect??So we checked it out anyways and seen that most of the horrible accusations where wrong. My family and I went into dc and we have took the shuttle bus from the campground and it wasn't a long ride at all. The driver (One of the owners sons)was telling us what we should see, he was also very helpful and just as nice as he could be to us. My family and i loved this campground and we will camp their for now on.We camped in a travel trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Since our last visit a year ago, this campground has made a lot of progress. The grounds were cleaner, a lot of the "permanent" sites have been cleaned up. Cable TV has been installed (a lot of channels), the bathrooms were clean. I can really see a POSITIVE change happening here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I am only rating this a '2' due to somewhere out there, there must be something worse. This campground was a mess. From the other replies, I see that I am not alone on this assessment. The sites are very unlevel and rock and grass. Trees are in desperate need of trimming overhead. The hookups were rusty and the voltage was very low. We couldn't run 2 airconditioners at the same time. The worst part of this campground was the high amount of permanent campers there. It is clearly their main business and the clientele they cater to is, frankly, scary. Imagine 5th-wheels and trailers in very bad shape with large propane tanks in front along with junk from about 3 years of living on the front porch. Make-shift decks, rotted out cars abound. In a word, this campground was grungy. There was no security to speak of and the highway noise was very loud. We thought there had to be a race track behind the trees, it was so loud. The one plus was that our site was on the end and rather large. They have wristbands that they require you to wear while camping. We were staying 3 nights to take our daughter to the Naval Academy for plebe summer and certainly weren't going to wear paper wristbands all week. We would definitely never go back there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The facilities are in need of repair. The bath houses need a complete upgrade. There are a lot of permanent sites. The roads are dusty. I had to use the 50 amp socket as the 30 amp kept tripping. On Sat morning the staff came around cutting and trimming grass throwing clippings all over our carpet and chairs. I had to run them off. It was close to the road with road noise up to about 7pm. The sites were fairly level. We would go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I just stayed there with my wife and 3 kids for a week the first week of April 2005 to visit DC, and we enjoyed it. Granted, the place wasn't the absolute best CG we've ever stayed at, but compared to some of the stories here it was decent. Positives - friendly staff, store was open reasonable hours, clean bathrooms, plenty of hot water, decent rates ($35), don't know about the pool since it was too early in the year, small putt putt golf range there looked decent. Negatives - the site was a bit small and too close to your neighbor, would have like more space but I've seen worse. Cable hookup was dead. Gravel roads need more gravel - lots of mud puddles. Lots of permenant campers, and their sites weren't in the best shape, but again I've seen worse. The best sites (approx 6-10) seemed reserved for transients, and these were the ones closest to the road (uglier permenants were more deep in the CG, hiding them from view of the road). These sites weren't too bad, but some of the permenant sites seemed to be just mud pits. Luckily, the place wasn't crowded (only about 3-4 transients the week we were there) so we got one of the better transient sites. If we had to be stuck with the permenants, our opinion would probably differ! Now - I've nothing against permenants, especially seasonals, but when a CG becomes essentially a trailer park for people who can't afford real trailer homes and live in a TT that has dry rotted tires that hasn't seen a road in years, and has junk piling around it in the mud, somehow having to camp next to that just dampens the vacation spirit. To sum it up, I'd stay at this place again, but I'd make sure I got one of the nicer transient sites away from the permenants. If they'd put more gravel down and cleaned up the mud holes and had the permenants tidy up their sites, I think this place could be first rate. Note also that we basically used the camp for overnight stays all week, staying in DC most hours, and not taking advantage of any camp amenities so I can't comment on that. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

They are sort of OK. Geared towards full timers, nothing wrong with that. The management stays out of you way for the most part. They could put a bit more work in it like pave the roads or at least put more gravel. When it runs, many sites turn into mud holes. A few years ago they put cable TV in there, which was nice. But the monthly fee is not cheap either, it's about 700 the last time I checked. This is however much cheaper than the alternative campgrounds. I actually enjoyed my stay there and would go there again if I could. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Most of the other reviews are accurate, more or less. The cons: Roads, as well as sites, sorely need gravel. When it rains, you get mud. Hard to believe that as high as the monthly fees are, they don't take care of this. Also grass could be cut more often. The bathroom was not heated completely and in the winter months, it was a bit rough. That was a moot point since the main building was destroyed through vandalism. The electric boxes look like they are from the '70's, rusty, with the doors falling off. They charge a flat fee for electric, $70/month, regardless of what you use. In the "full-timing" section, it's an overwhelmingly 'blue-collar' community, with most ppl working in construction, plumbing, etc. There was also some 'riff-raff'. I saw cops visit it once or twice, and in one section allegedly there was a vehicle broken into. Don't know if true. (I personally had no problems with anything.) Some sites were small, others larger. The pros: Less expensive than the (only) other CG. Cable TV/Internet. Big plus. Once they installed it, in my opinion, they went from D to B-. Maintainance is good and they fix whatever is broken rather quickly. "Country" feel to it, which I liked. All in all, I give it a "YES". Just understand the limitations. Lothian is more or less a nice area. Commute to D.C. may take 40+ minutes depending where you are going. The only other CG in the area costs almost twice as much. Duncan's is expensive but the other one is downright exorbitant. There are basically no campgrounds in the area and the very few that do exist can afford to charge whatever they want. D.C. is a very expensive place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I absolutely despised this campground. The roads inside the park were extremely narrow and very dusty. They advised that I had cable tv but once I got there, no cable tv. I then began to unhook my trailer and started to level it when the electrical box sparked and then I had no electricity. I let the front desk know and they reluctantly changed my site. There were many permanent campers on site giving the entire campground a horrible smell/odor of a port-a-potti. I took my 2 sons to the showers that evening only to find human feces in front of 2 shower stalls. The other shower stalls had more spider webs/spiders then I could count. I let the desk know about the feces and spiders thinking the problem would be taken care of however the next morning I went to the showers and both piles of poop were still there, it was disgusting to say the least. The pool was actually pretty clean and the kids loved the playground. I will never camp here again and would never recommend this campground for anyone. I gave it a 2 because of the pool/playground, everything else was horrible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place should be closed. Staff unfriendly and deceitful about the park and facilities. I specifically asked if this park was quiet and was guaranteed that it was. This place is noisy all hours of the day and night, primarily by the park owners' teenage sons and their friends. These young people treat the park and RVers property with no regard and less respect. I saw one of the boys with a BB gun shooting at two teenagers (at close range) in front of the recreation room where lots of kids were running around. The doors to the bathrooms are left propped open and smell of cigarettes. When it rains the entire park is a mud hole with some roads turning into rushing creeks. Washers and dryers are ancient. No van to DC Metro as advertised. Water smells and is rusty. Park owner was concerned about pool passing inspection the night before the inspector was due. Police patrol facility on regular basis. I would never stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Duncan's still needs a lot of work. About 1/2 empty on Labor Day Weekend. Mostly seasonal campers. While they try to make it family oriented, they've got a long way to go. We will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park has significantly deteriorated since 1999. Less than 75 sites really available for transient camping. Park seems to cater to it's permanent trailer residents and kids. Grass not cut, many sites flooding when raining. When pool closed, allowed to grow algae, no winterizing at all. Most pull through sites needed grading and tree cutting. Still the cheapest place to stay if you need extended stay in DC area. Evidence of open drug deals going on across the street on a couple nights. Desk said "Call the Cops". Also very noisy from dump trucks running up and down road starting early in the morning and using retardant breaks. Too bad, someone should buy this place and put it back to rights. We camped here in a camper.

Our area of the campground was quite noisy on weekend, to point that we could not sleep. Facilities seemed in need of attention, esp. electrical and water hookups--rusty fixtures, missing electrical hookup doors. Management was supportive and apologetic when we complained the next morning about the late night/early morning noise, but I believe that management must be more aware of what is happening in their facility, and pay attention to details. They did refund our money and gave us a coupon for a free night's stay. We would go back, but I'd be a bit leery if over a weekend. It is convenient to Washington, DC and not too far from Baltimore. We camped here in a camper.

This campground should be condemed. It definitely needs major renovations. The pool you dare not go into.The sites were overgrown with weeds. The cabins sat up on a hill. Not many campers were there. They had live music 1 night which we had a good time with other campers. Needs new owners, too much neglect. It's a shame, this place has real potential to become a really great campground. Good location too. Won't go back. We camped here in a camper.
