Camping near Cedar Heights, Maryland
Cedar Heights sits in Prince George's County, Maryland, inside the I-495 Capital Beltway and roughly ten miles from downtown Washington, D.C. That location makes it a practical base for RV travelers who want to sightsee the National Mall by day and return to a wooded campsite at night. Metro's Green and Blue lines, along with commuter buses, are all within a short drive.
The closest developed campground is Greenbelt Park, which offers 172 campground sites with showers and restrooms about ten miles from Washington, DC. Just north in College Park, Cherry Hill Park offers RV and tent sites plus cabins and cottages, along with resort-style amenities.
Farther out, Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday in Millersville and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC in Lothian give big-rig travelers full-hookup options, while Cedarville State Forest to the south trades convenience for quiet, forested state-park camping.
Things to do from a Cedar Heights base
The main draw is Washington, D.C. itself: the Smithsonian museums, the U.S. Capitol, the White House, and the memorials along the National Mall are all reachable by Metro or car. The Washington, D.C. Metro Transit System Greenbelt Station is just 1.5 miles from Greenbelt Park, which simplifies day trips into the city.
Closer to camp, Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens sit about eight miles away, and Goddard Space Flight Center is three miles from the park. Cedarville State Forest covers 3,510 acres at the headwaters of Zekiah Swamp and offers miles of hiking trails. Annapolis and Baltimore's Inner Harbor are both within an easy day-trip radius from any of the area campgrounds.

Spring and fall are the sweet spots. April and May bring cherry blossom season and comfortable temperatures for walking the Mall, while September and October cool the humidity and light up the parks with color. Summer is peak season for family travel, but Mid-Atlantic heat and humidity are real, and afternoon thunderstorms are common.
Booking windows matter. Greenbelt Park Campground offers year-round reservations and you may book six months in advance, so cherry blossom and summer weekends there fill early. Cedarville State Forest's Campground is open from April to October, with a two-night minimum from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day and a three-night minimum on holiday weekends.
Winter narrows the field. Most private resorts stay open with reduced amenities and pools closed. There is a tick notice in the Mid-Atlantic region in Spring and Summer, so precautions such as tick repellent are advised, especially after hikes with kids or pets.

Overall good time. Gray and black water were 2/3 full though and would have been nice to be empty. WiFi was ok in location but sometimes didn’t work. Maybe suspension does need a look over not horrible but slightly loose. Fresh water all the way full would be nice also. I tried to leave it cleaner than I got it as well for the delay on drop off but made sure to get here early this am.
Ronald V. - Oct 2026
We had such a fantastic time in this RV. It was in ideal size for our family of 5. We travelled from Maryland, through ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. It was nice to drive and didn't feel too big. Clean throughout and no major issues. The host was very helpful and responded super quick to queries. We hope to rent again in the future.

Both VANessa and Vanessa were awesome. All the amenities are thoughtfully available. Van drove well and my son and I had a trip we’ll talk about for years and remember forever. Vanessa is a great communicator and great person. 5+ stars.

Had an amazing travel experience with VANessa and Vanessa was a joy to work with. So very accommodating. The van is beautiful and has everything you could want. Even my pup Seamus gave it two paws up!

How to book campgrounds near Cedar Heights
Reservation systems vary by operator. Greenbelt Park bookings must be made in advance or upon arrival using the Recreation.gov website or call center at 1-877-444-6777. Maryland state parks use a separate system: Cedarville State Forest reservations can be made by calling 1-888-432-2267, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and online reservations can be made at parkreservations.maryland.gov, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Private parks book directly. Cherry Hill Park, Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC, and Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday all take reservations by phone or through their own websites, and each sets its own cancellation policy. The Capitol KOA requires 48 hours notice for RV and tent sites, with the guest notifying the campground by 4 p.m. two days before scheduled arrival. For cherry blossom season and July 4th week, book two to three months out.
What to expect on the ground
Traffic and noise are part of the trade-off for staying this close to a major city. Sites near the Beltway or major highways can pick up road hum at night. On the flip side, urban proximity means grocery stores, propane, laundromats, and repair services are all within a few minutes' drive.
Site conditions vary. At Greenbelt Park, inner-loop sites are all level, but most sites on the outside of the loop should be reserved only as a last resort due to being on sloped terrain, so check the site map on Recreation.gov before locking in a reservation. Alcohol is not permitted in the campground.
For RVers with larger rigs, private parks are the easier choice. Capitol KOA RV sites accommodate rigs up to 70 feet and the pool is open May 22 to September 7. Cherry Hill leans resort-style with pools, laundry facilities, and a well-stocked store.
