Camping near Riverdale Park, Maryland
Riverdale Park sits in Prince George's County just inside the Capital Beltway, roughly seven miles northeast of the National Mall. RV travelers use it as a base for Washington, D.C. sightseeing without paying downtown parking, since the town is served by the Riverdale MARC station and is minutes from Metro's Green Line at College Park.
Campground options cluster north and east of the city. Greenbelt Park Campground, operated by the National Park Service inside the Beltway, offers wooded sites with no individual hookups, hot showers, and a dump station. Cherry Hill Park in College Park is the closest full-service RV resort to D.C., with full hookups, pools, and shuttle access toward Metro. Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC and Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday sit farther out for larger rigs.
For a quieter, forested stay, Cedarville State Forest - Family lies south in Charles County and provides state-forest style sites with basic amenities and electric on the inner loop.
Things to do near Riverdale Park
Most trips center on Washington, D.C. The Smithsonian museums, National Mall, U.S. Capitol, and monuments are free to enter and reachable by Metro from Prince George's County. Families often pair a museum day with the National Zoo or the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center in Northern Virginia.
Closer to the campgrounds, the Anacostia Tributary Trails link Riverdale Park to Bladensburg Waterfront Park, where paddle rentals run in warm months. The University of Maryland campus in College Park hosts sports events and an on-campus arboretum.
Greenbelt Park has short hiking loops through pine, oak, and maple forest, and Cedarville State Forest adds a fishing pond, equestrian trails, and 19 miles of hiking through the headwaters of Zekiah Swamp.

Spring and fall are the strongest RV seasons around Riverdale Park. Late March through April brings the cherry blossom bloom on the Tidal Basin, which drives heavy demand at Cherry Hill Park and the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday. Booking eight to twelve weeks ahead is common during the National Cherry Blossom Festival window.
Summer runs hot and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms and occasional ozone alerts. Sites remain available midweek, but weekends around Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day sell out early, particularly at parks offering easier access to fireworks on the Mall.
Fall brings cooler air and color through the hardwood parks from mid-October into early November. Winter is the off-season: Greenbelt Park Campground typically operates year-round with limited services, while some private resorts reduce amenities such as pools. Cedarville State Forest's campground is only open from April to October, so plan accordingly.

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 Riverdale Park
Greenbelt Park Campground must be reserved in advance through Recreation.gov, the National Park Service's booking system, on a six-month rolling window. Walk-in registration and on-site cash payment are no longer available, so plan ahead, especially during blossom season and summer holidays.
Cedarville State Forest - Family sites are booked through the Maryland Park Service reservation system at parkreservations.maryland.gov or by calling 1-888-432-2267, with a twelve-month booking window and a two-night minimum from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.
Cherry Hill Park, Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC, and Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday take reservations directly on their own websites or by phone, each with its own cancellation policy. For holiday weekends and April cherry-blossom dates, secure a site as early as the calendar allows and confirm rig length limits when booking.
What to expect at Riverdale Park campgrounds
Roads into the campgrounds are paved, but the Capital Beltway (I-495) and I-95 through this corridor run heavy from early afternoon through evening on weekdays. Plan arrivals outside rush hour where possible.
Hookups vary sharply by property. Private resorts like Cherry Hill Park offer full water, sewer, and electric, while Greenbelt Park has no individual hookups but provides a dump station, flush toilets, and hot showers. Cedarville State Forest has electric on its inner loop and primitive sites on the outer loop. Cell coverage is generally strong in the area.
Summer humidity, mosquitoes, and severe thunderstorms are the main weather factors, and ticks are a concern in wooded parks. Metro, ride-share, and campground shuttle options mean many visitors leave the tow vehicle at the site.
