Campgrounds near Scaggsville, Maryland
Scaggsville sits in Howard County along the Route 29 corridor between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., which puts RV travelers within a short drive of both cities and the surrounding state and national parkland. The area works well as a base for families who want museum days in the District, hiking along the Patapsco River, or a straightforward overnight on an East Coast road trip.
Campground options in the region range from full-service private resorts to wooded federal and state park sites. Cherry Hill Park in College Park is a large private RV resort close to Washington, D.C. with full hookups and city transit. Greenbelt Park Campground, run by the National Park Service, sits inside a forested park about ten miles from the National Mall. Patapsco Valley State Park - Hollofield Area covers the Baltimore side, while Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday and Ramblin' Pines round out the private options.
Most travelers choose based on how much time they plan to spend in D.C. versus exploring Maryland's rivers and trails.
Things to do near Scaggsville
Washington, D.C. is the biggest draw. The Smithsonian museums, National Mall, and monuments are all free to enter and reachable by Metro from several campgrounds in the area. Cherry Hill Park sits on regional bus lines to the city, and Greenbelt Park is near a Metro station on the Green Line.
Closer to Scaggsville, Patapsco Valley State Park offers hiking, fishing, canoeing, horseback trails and mountain bike trails, plus picnicking along the Patapsco River. Ten miles of hiking trails meander through Greenbelt Park, including the Perimeter, Azalea, Dogwood and Blueberry Trails.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to camp near Scaggsville. Daytime highs sit in the mild range, humidity is lower than in summer, and the surrounding forests deliver strong seasonal color. Mountain laurel blooms throughout Greenbelt Park in May, and Patapsco's overlooks show heavy fall color into November. Cherry blossom season in D.C. peaks in late March or early April and drives heavy weekend demand across the region.
Summer brings warm, humid weather with afternoon thunderstorms and higher rainfall totals. Sites at the private resorts fill quickly on holiday weekends, so booking well ahead is standard. There is a tick notice for the Mid-Atlantic region in spring and summer, so plan for repellent and long sleeves on trails.
Winter camping is possible but limited. Greenbelt Park Campground is open year-round, and Cherry Hill Park operates through the winter as well. State park campgrounds in the region typically run a shorter season and may close for renovations, so confirm status before booking.

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 Scaggsville
Reservation systems vary by campground type. All campsites at Greenbelt Park must be reserved in advance via Recreation.gov, and sites can be booked up to six months ahead of arrival. Payment is not accepted on site and the cash and check drop box is no longer available.
Maryland state park sites, including Patapsco Valley State Park - Hollofield Area, book through the Maryland Park Service reservation portal at parkreservations.maryland.gov and can be reserved up to 365 days in advance. Note that the Hollofield Area campground is currently closed for renovations, so confirm current status before planning a stay there; the Hilton Area within Patapsco Valley remains open.
Private campgrounds such as Cherry Hill Park, Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday, and Ramblin' Pines take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and holiday weekends often sell out months ahead.
What to expect near Scaggsville
Expect a mix of urban-adjacent and forested camping. Cherry Hill Park is a full-service resort with full-hookup RV sites, shaded tent spaces, cabins, pools, and a dog park. Sites are close together and highway noise carries, but the amenities and transit access make it a strong pick for D.C. trips.
Greenbelt Park is a quieter, wooded National Park Service campground. There are no electrical or water hookups, but hot showers, bathroom facilities and a dump station are available to registered campers. Narrow, one-way loop roads require backing into most sites, and some areas have low-hanging branches that can challenge larger rigs.
Cell service is generally reliable across the area, grocery and fuel stops are close, and traffic on I-95 and the Beltway is heavy at peak commuting hours.
