This is a very pretty campground with many nice campsites. It is designed for tents. We went with a small RV. Our bad. This campground is not set up for RVs. There is separate RV camping, however it is located outside the park itself. If we come back we will probably stay there. If you do come with a RV make sure it is small. Ours is 21 foot and we were able to find a site that worked. There is no water available to connect or fill so be sure your water tank is full before you arrive.
There are 3 bathrooms. One has been upgraded with showers and is beautiful. The other 2 bathrooms are sort of dumpy, but functional. There are trails that start at the campground. Even though it was fairly full when we were there it is very quiet at night. No electricity or RVs so that is probably part of the reason. During the day you get to hear the constant target practice from Quantico but it is not too annoying.
there is no firewood nor ice available and it is a pretty good drive back to town so prepare for that as well.
Great! Clean with spacious sites. Bathrooms were spotless. Even in 32 degree weather the campsite was packed. Bring your own wood. None available for sale.
One of the nicest campgrounds in the DC area. Sites are well maintained, as are the restroom and shower facilities, and the sites are fairly large and well separated. Loop C is best for privacy and tent camping, Loop B for groups, and Loop A for RVs and campers (no electric hookups). Campground is near several trails and has easy access to the bike paths. Note that you have to pay for park entrance separately from the camping reservation. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the campground from the park entrance, so work that into your schedule.
Very clean bathrooms and showers, unlike most campgrounds this one has hot water and is a turning knob. Unlike most where you’ll have to press the water knob in every so often or else it will shut off on you. Avoid booking on weekends the campsites will be fully booked and facility being very busy. They had friendly camp hosts. No campfire for sale though but, there was plenty of wood to gather there. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Very little to minimal cellphone reception so you’ll disconnect completely.
Loved camping here for a Saturday night in August. Was able to book B1 for 26$ just 3 days in advance. Great spacious campsite which could fit two cars, and a 6-person tent quite easily. Slept very soundly - it's very peaceful, and the temperature was pretty perfect too. Loved the showers with hot water. Went for a morning run on the Farms to Forest Trail, and that's right at the entrance to the campground. This place is just 10 minutes from the I-95, so great overnight rest stop for anyone on a long drive.
