Campgrounds near Chevy Chase Section Five
Chevy Chase Section Five sits in Montgomery County, Maryland, just inside the Capital Beltway and roughly a dozen miles from the National Mall. There are no campgrounds inside this small residential village, so RV travelers base themselves at parks in the surrounding suburbs and use the area as a hub for exploring Washington, D.C.
The closest full-service option is Cherry Hill Park in College Park, a large private RV resort with hookups, cabins, pools, and a bus stop connecting to the Washington Metro. Nearby, Greenbelt Park Campground is a National Park Service site inside a forested unit of the park system about ten miles from downtown D.C. Ramblin' Pines and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC sit farther out in the exurbs and provide family-oriented amenities.
For a quieter, more traditional state-forest setting, Cedarville State Forest - Family lies to the south in Charles and Prince George's counties and offers electric and primitive sites within a large hardwood forest.
Things to do near Chevy Chase Section Five
The main draw is Washington, D.C. itself: the Smithsonian museums, the National Mall, monuments, and the National Zoo are all reachable by Metrorail from the suburbs surrounding Chevy Chase. Cherry Hill Park runs a bus to the College Park Metro station and organizes guided sightseeing tours, which simplifies logistics for families staying in an RV.
Outdoor options are close at hand. Greenbelt Park has hiking trails, ranger programs, and free Saturday campfire events. Cedarville State Forest offers hiking trails, a fishing pond, an archery range, and wildlife viewing across more than three thousand forested acres.
Locally, Rock Creek Park, the C&O Canal Towpath, and the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail add walking and cycling routes without a long drive.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for RV travel in the D.C. area. March through May brings warming temperatures and the cherry blossom bloom around the Tidal Basin, which drives high demand at Cherry Hill Park and other campgrounds within Metro reach. September through early November offers cooler nights, fall color, and lighter crowds.
Summers are hot and humid, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Cherry Hill Park and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC stay open with pools and shade, while Greenbelt Park's forest canopy helps moderate heat. Ticks and mosquitoes are common in the Mid-Atlantic region during spring and summer, so repellent is worth packing.
Winter narrows options. Greenbelt Park Campground stays open year-round with reservations required, while Cedarville State Forest closes its campground for the winter and reopens in April. Private parks such as Cherry Hill generally operate through the winter, though some services and the on-site café may run on reduced schedules.

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!
