RV camping near South Laurel, Maryland
South Laurel sits in Prince George's County between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, giving RV travelers access to campgrounds tied to both metros within a short drive. The Baltimore-Washington Parkway, I-95, and Route 1 all run nearby, so travelers can base near South Laurel and reach the National Mall, Annapolis, or Baltimore's Inner Harbor in under an hour.
Options range from a National Park Service campground to full-hookup private resorts. Greenbelt Park Campground, run by the National Park Service, sits about ten miles from downtown D.C. and offers 172 sites in a wooded setting suited to tents and smaller RVs. Cherry Hill Park in College Park is a full-service RV park close to the capital and adds pools, a splash area, and shuttle-plus-transit connections to the Metro. The Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday in Millersville leans toward the Annapolis and BWI side of the region.
For state-park camping, Patapsco Valley State Park - Hollofield Area sits along the Patapsco River near Ellicott City, and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC rounds out the private-resort choices in the corridor.
Things to do near South Laurel
Most trips center on Washington, D.C. Campers can walk the National Mall, tour the Capitol and White House grounds, or spend a day inside the Smithsonian museums. Cherry Hill Park runs guided sightseeing tours from the campground, and nearby bus service links to the Metro for a car-free day in the city.
Outside the city, Patapsco Valley State Park has an extensive network of hiking, biking, and multi-use trails accessible from the Hollofield area, plus river access and a scenic overlook of the Patapsco Valley. Annapolis is roughly half an hour east for the U.S. Naval Academy and the waterfront, and Baltimore's Inner Harbor adds the National Aquarium, Camden Yards, and the Maryland Science Center.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for RV camping in the D.C.-Baltimore corridor. Cherry blossom season in late March and early April drives heavy demand at any campground within driving distance of the Tidal Basin, and October delivers fall color along the Patapsco Valley. Both shoulders bring mild days and cool nights that suit tent campers and small rigs.
Summer is the peak family season. Temperatures regularly climb into the upper 80s Fahrenheit with high humidity, and July brings the heaviest average rainfall along with frequent afternoon thunderstorms, so shaded sites and reliable power for air conditioning are worth planning around. Seasonal pools at Cherry Hill Park and the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday run through the warm months.
Winter camping is possible but limited. Greenbelt Park Campground operates year-round with reservations required through Recreation.gov, while state-park campgrounds in the region often run on reduced services or close from late fall through early spring.

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 South Laurel
Different campgrounds use different reservation systems, so plan the booking channel before the trip. Greenbelt Park Campground takes reservations through Recreation.gov or by phone at 1-877-444-6777, and the booking window opens six months in advance. Patapsco Valley State Park campsites are booked through the Maryland Park Service reservation portal and can be reserved up to 365 days ahead, with a one-day minimum lead time; note that the Hollofield Area campground is currently closed for renovations, so check its status before planning a stay.
Private parks book directly. Cherry Hill Park, the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday, and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC all accept reservations through their own websites or call centers. Cherry blossom weekends, summer holidays, and fall foliage weekends fill earliest, so book several months out for those dates.
What to expect on-site
Expect a mix of wooded suburban settings and highway noise. Greenbelt Park is a quiet National Park Service campground with tent and RV loops, no hookups, flush toilets, showers, and a dump station; most RV sites favor rigs under 35 feet, and alcohol is not permitted in the campground. Cherry Hill Park offers full hookups, pools, a splash area, and a general store, though sites sit close to the Capital Beltway.
The Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday sits on wooded acreage in Millersville with pull-through and back-in RV sites, cabins, and a seasonal pool through the warm months. Patapsco Valley's Hollofield Area is a wooded state-park campground with 73 sites, some with electric, though it is closed for renovations at present; when open, campers over 11 feet 1 inch in height must use the Route 40 East entrance. Confirm current operating status directly with the park before booking.
