Campgrounds near Fairmount Heights, Maryland
Fairmount Heights sits in Prince George's County just inside the Capital Beltway, which makes it a practical base for RV travelers visiting Washington, D.C. The town has no campground within its own borders, but several established parks lie within a short drive and connect the area to the National Mall, Anacostia parks, and Southern Maryland forests.
The closest option is Greenbelt Park Campground, a National Park Service site about ten miles from Washington, D.C. with 172 campground sites. Cherry Hill Park, in nearby College Park, is a full-service private RV resort with hookups and transit into the city. Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC and Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday sit farther out in the Maryland suburbs and cater specifically to RV travelers.
For a quieter, forested stay, Cedarville State Forest - Family lies south of the city in Charles County and offers a mix of electric and primitive sites inside a working state forest.
Things to do near Fairmount Heights
The main draw is proximity to Washington, D.C. The Metro's Blue and Silver lines run close to Fairmount Heights, and some nearby campgrounds sit near a station or offer shuttle options, so RV travelers can leave the rig parked and ride into the city for the Smithsonian museums, the National Mall, and the U.S. Capitol.
Closer to camp, Greenbelt Park has 9 miles of trails and hosts free Saturday campfire programs with stories, history, and wildlife themes. Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, a National Park Service site just west of Fairmount Heights, is a quiet spot for families with young kids.
South of the city, Cedarville State Forest offers 19.5 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, a fishing pond, and access to the headwaters of Zekiah Swamp.

Spring and fall are the strongest windows. April and May bring cherry blossoms, mild temperatures, and dry-enough trails for hiking around Greenbelt and Cedarville. October delivers hardwood color across Prince George's and Charles counties, with cool nights that suit campfire evenings.
Summer is peak season for D.C. tourism, but heat and humidity in July and August are significant, and afternoon thunderstorms are common. RV sites with full hookups and air conditioning, such as those at Cherry Hill Park or the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday, are more comfortable than tent-oriented loops in mid-summer. Ticks are a known issue in the Mid-Atlantic region in spring and summer, so tick repellent is recommended.
Winter narrows the options. Greenbelt Campground is open year-round with required reservations, while Cedarville State Forest's campground is open from April to October. Cold rain and occasional snow are typical from December through February.

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!
