Campgrounds near Westphalia, Maryland
Westphalia sits in Prince George's County, Maryland, just inside the Capital Beltway and roughly a dozen miles from downtown Washington, D.C. That location shapes the local RV camping scene: most nearby campgrounds are set up as a base for sightseeing in the nation's capital, not as remote wilderness stays. Options range from full-hookup resort parks to primitive state-forest loops.
Within a short drive, RV renters can choose Cherry Hill Park in College Park, Greenbelt Park Campground run by the National Park Service, the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday, Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC, and Cedarville State Forest - Family to the south in Charles County. Cherry Hill Park is a large, resort-style park with full hookups and a big-rig-friendly layout close to Metro and downtown DC.
Greenbelt Park Campground is an urban National Park Service site about 10 miles from Washington, D.C., with no water or electric hookups. Cedarville State Forest - Family, further south near Brandywine, offers a quieter forested setting for renters who want trails over transit access.
Things to do near Westphalia
The main draw is Washington, D.C. itself: the National Mall, Smithsonian museums, the Capitol, and the monuments are all reachable by car or transit from the campgrounds listed above. Cherry Hill Park runs guided DC tours and shuttle options, which makes it a practical choice for families who prefer not to drive an RV into the city.
Closer to the campsites, families can hike, bike, and picnic in the surrounding parks. Cedarville State Forest - Family has around 19 miles of trails open to hikers, bikers, and horse riders, plus a fishing pond and picnic areas at the edge of the Zekiah Swamp. Greenbelt Park has forested trails through mixed hardwoods, with a 5.3-mile perimeter loop and Mountain Laurel that blooms in late spring.

The Westphalia area has a true four-season climate, with hot, humid summers, mild springs and falls, and winters that can bring cold rain, ice, and occasional snow. Spring cherry-blossom season and summer school-break weeks drive the heaviest campground demand around the capital, so RV renters aiming for late March through August should book several months out.
Campground calendars vary. Cedarville State Forest - Family's campground is open from April to October, with the bathhouse available during that same window. Greenbelt Park Campground operates year-round and requires reservations in every season. Private parks such as Cherry Hill Park and the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday typically stay open all year, though pools and other seasonal amenities close in the colder months.
Summer thunderstorms are common and can bring brief but intense downpours. Ticks are active in the Mid-Atlantic from spring through fall, and the National Park Service posts tick notices at Greenbelt Park advising repellent and long clothing.

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 Westphalia
Reservation systems differ by campground type. For Greenbelt Park Campground, bookings go through the federal system. Sites may be reserved up to six months in advance on a rolling basis through Recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777, and payment is not accepted on site.
Maryland state parks use their own system. Reservations for Cedarville State Forest - Family can be made by calling 1-888-432-2267, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or online at parkreservations.maryland.gov, twenty-four hours a day. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day there is a two-night minimum stay, and holiday weekends require a three-night minimum.
Cherry Hill Park, the Washington DC / Capitol KOA Holiday, and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC each take bookings directly through their own websites or brand reservation platforms.
What to expect on site
Expectations should match the campground type. Cherry Hill Park is the most resort-style option in the area, with full water, sewer, and electric hookups, cable TV, WiFi, a pool and splash pad, guided DC tours, and a gated entrance that accommodates larger rigs.
Greenbelt Park Campground is the opposite end of the spectrum: forested and no-frills. There are no water or electric hookups, RV length is capped around 35 feet with D Loop recommended for RVs, and paved roads and spurs give reasonable access for cars and trailers. The campground has flush toilets, drinking water, hot showers, and a dump station for registered campers.
Cedarville State Forest - Family sites are basic. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and lantern post; inner-loop sites have electric while outer-loop sites are primitive, with a central bathhouse and water spigots throughout the loop.

visitmaryland.org/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/campingWhat do I need to rent an RV in Westphalia, MD?
Good news: a regular Maryland or out-of-state driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Westphalia, MD. There is no commercial driver's license (CDL) or special RV endorsement required for Class A, Class B, or Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, or fifth wheels on RVezy. You'll just need to be 25 or older and verify your identity through the secure RVezy platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before your trip. Most first-time renters are surprised how quick the booking and verification process is, leaving more time to plan the fun parts of your Westphalia RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental in Westphalia covered by protection and roadside assistance?
Yes, every RV rental in Westphalia, MD booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the road with real peace of mind. You'll choose your preferred coverage level during checkout, and the plan provides meaningful financial protection that has helped thousands of first-time renters book confidently. If you get a flat on the Capital Beltway or need a jump start at a campground near Cedarville State Forest, one call gets help dispatched any hour of the day.

help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Westphalia RV rental?
Booking is low risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, not individual hosts, which means consistent, renter-friendly rules across the platform. There is a money-back grace period right after you book, plus additional flexibility depending on how far out your trip start date is. If your plans change, just log into your RVezy account and start the cancellation from your trip page. Customer support is available before, during, and after your trip if you need help walking through your options, so you are never stuck guessing.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Westphalia, MD RV trip?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Westphalia options are easy to find on RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when searching. Many hosts in Prince George's County happily welcome dogs and even cats, and some include pet beds, bowls, or fenced setup recommendations. Once you're on the road, Cedarville State Forest in Brandywine has dog-friendly trails just 20 minutes south, and the Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel allows leashed pets on most paths. Greenbelt Park, run by the National Park Service about 20 minutes north, is also pet-friendly throughout its campground loops. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee or weight limit, and ask about nearby off-leash areas. Maryland summers can be humid, so pack extra water for your pup.
nps.gov/gree/planyourvisit/pets.htmCan the RV be delivered to me in Westphalia?
Yes, RV delivery Westphalia is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will drive the rig to your driveway, a nearby campground like Cherry Hill Park in College Park, or even a launch point closer to your route, then handle the full setup including leveling, hookups, and a walkthrough of every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to instantly see hosts who offer this service, along with their delivery radius and any per-mile fees. Pro tip: delivery to Greenbelt Park or Cedarville State Forest is especially popular since both are within 25 miles of Westphalia and have RV-friendly sites ready to go.
nps.gov/gree/planyourvisit/camping.htmHow far can I drive on an RV road trip from Westphalia?
You've got incredible range from Westphalia thanks to its location just inside the Capital Beltway. Popular routes include Assateague Island National Seashore (about 140 miles east, roughly 2.5 hours) for wild horses on the beach, Shenandoah National Park (about 110 miles west, around 2 hours) for Skyline Drive, Ocean City, MD (around 145 miles, under 3 hours) for boardwalk vibes, Gettysburg, PA (about 85 miles north) for Civil War history, and Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland (around 180 miles). Most RVezy hosts offer 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles available for a small per-mile fee, and some even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage. Always confirm the mileage policy on the listing page before booking.
nps.gov/asis/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Westphalia, MD?
You've got fantastic options within 30 minutes of Westphalia. Cedarville State Forest in Brandywine (about 20 miles south) offers wooded RV sites with electric hookups and easy access to fishing ponds. Greenbelt Park (about 20 minutes north) is a National Park Service campground with 172 sites, perfect for visiting the Smithsonian. Cherry Hill Park in College Park is the closest full-hookup resort to Washington DC, with a pool, shuttle, and pull-throughs for big rigs. Duncan's Family Campground in Lothian (about 25 minutes east) is a family favorite with a pool and mini-golf. Pro tip: Maryland State Park sites at Cedarville book up fast for summer weekends, so reserve through the official DNR reservation site as soon as your dates are set.
dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/pages/southern/cedarville.aspxWhen is the best time for RV camping in Westphalia?
Spring and fall are the sweet spots for RV camping Westphalia adventures. April through early June brings mild temperatures in the 60s and 70s, blooming dogwoods, and fewer crowds, while September and October deliver crisp days in the 60s, gorgeous fall foliage, and lower campground rates. Summer (late June through August) is warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s, but it's prime time for beach trips to Assateague or Ocean City. Winters are mild compared to the northeast, with daytime highs typically in the 40s, so off-season rentals can be a great cheap RV rental Westphalia option for visiting DC museums. Pro tip: cherry blossom season in late March is magical if you're combining your trip with a DC visit, just book several weeks ahead.
weather.gov/lwx/winterI've never driven an RV before. Is it really doable in the DC area?
Yes, and Westphalia is actually a smart launch point for a first time renting an RV. Most beginners do great with a Class C motorhome or a smaller travel trailer, both of which drive much like a large van or pickup. Your RVezy host will give you a full hands-on orientation at pickup, covering driving tips, slide-outs, water systems, and propane, and you can message them anytime during your trip. To avoid the Capital Beltway traffic stress, head south on Route 301 toward Cedarville State Forest or east toward the Chesapeake Bay rather than fighting I-495 during rush hour. Pro tip: ask your host to recommend a quiet parking lot nearby for a 15-minute practice drive before you hit the highway.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV on my trip?
You are covered around the clock. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 4, a dead battery at Greenbelt Park, or a tow off the Beltway is handled with a single phone call. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app for quick troubleshooting, like resetting a tripped breaker or restarting the water pump. For anything bigger, RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip to help coordinate repairs or alternative arrangements. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number to your phone contacts before you leave Westphalia so it is instantly reachable, even in a low-signal area along the Patuxent River.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Westphalia RV rental into other states or Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is welcomed on most RVezy rentals from Westphalia, and you've got incredible options: Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Delaware beaches, and West Virginia's New River Gorge are all easy multi-day trips. Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed with advance host approval and proper insurance documentation, so message the host directly from the listing page if that's on your itinerary. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: a classic 5-day RV road trip from Westphalia is heading west on I-66 to Shenandoah, then south on the Blue Ridge Parkway, with overnight stops at Big Meadows Campground and Otter Creek for unforgettable mountain sunsets.
nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/camping.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a Westphalia RV trip?
Plan smart and fuel won't bust your budget. Most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), Class A rigs around 6 to 10 MPG, and campervans 15 to 20 MPG. Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle, usually 10 to 14 MPG combined. Maryland gas prices typically run slightly above the national average, and you'll find the cheapest fill-ups in Prince George's County at stations along Route 301 and Branch Avenue rather than near the Beltway. For a typical 3-day, 300-mile loop to Assateague and back, budget around $120 to $180 in fuel for a mid-size motorhome. Pro tip: use the GasBuddy app to spot the best prices in Upper Marlboro and Waldorf before heading out of town.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Westphalia?
Booking early pays off, especially for Maryland State Park campgrounds, which open reservations through the official Maryland Department of Natural Resources reservation system up to a year in advance. For summer weekends at Cedarville State Forest, Greenbelt Park, or Assateague State Park, aim to book 3 to 6 months ahead. Private resorts like Cherry Hill Park and Duncan's Family Campground typically have more flexibility but still fill fast for holiday weekends like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Shoulder season trips in April, May, September, or October can often be booked just a week or two out. Pro tip: Maryland State Parks require a 2-night minimum on summer weekends and 3-night minimum on holiday weekends, so plan your itinerary around that.
dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/pages/oc.aspxWhat are local driving conditions like around Westphalia?
Westphalia sits just outside the Capital Beltway (I-495), so the biggest tip is to time your departures around rush hour. Aim to roll out before 6:30 a.m. or after 9:30 a.m. on weekdays, and avoid 3 to 7 p.m. heading home. Once you're south on Route 4 or Route 301, the roads open up into easy rural driving through Prince George's and Charles counties. Important note: propane-carrying RVs are not allowed in the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel or Fort McHenry Tunnel, so route around them using I-695 if you're heading north. Pro tip: use an RV-specific GPS like the Garmin RV series to automatically avoid low-clearance bridges and LP gas restricted tunnels, which standard map apps often miss.
mdta.maryland.gov/Toll_Facilities/HazMat.htmlWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Westphalia?
Most campgrounds within an hour of Westphalia offer solid amenities. Cherry Hill Park in College Park has full hookups (water, electric, and sewer), Wi-Fi, a pool, laundry, and even a DC shuttle. Cedarville State Forest provides electric hookups, drinking water, and a dump station, while Greenbelt Park offers no hookups but has potable water and a dump station onsite. Duncan's Family Campground includes full hookups, a pool, and a camp store. For dumping and filling water on travel days, the Cherry Hill Park and Greenbelt Park dump stations are both open to non-guests for a small fee. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot drinking-water-safe hose and a sewer hose support, even if your host provides them, because some Maryland sites have longer setbacks than expected.
nps.gov/gree/planyourvisit/camping.htmWhat's included inside a typical RV rental in Westphalia?
You'll find your home on wheels well-equipped. Most motorhome rental Westphalia options come with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware), a bathroom with shower and toilet, sleeping for 4 to 8 people depending on floorplan, air conditioning, a furnace, and a generator or shore power for off-grid use. Many hosts include linens, towels, a TV, and even outdoor chairs as part of the rental, while some offer Wi-Fi hotspots as an add-on. Every passenger seat has a seatbelt, which is required by Maryland law for everyone on board while moving. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities section carefully and message the host to confirm specifics like a coffee maker or Instant Pot, since small comforts make a huge difference on a Westphalia family RV trip.
mva.maryland.gov/safety/Pages/MDSafetyBelt.aspxWhat add-ons and pickup options are common for a campervan rental Westphalia?
You've got great flexibility. Popular add-ons for a campervan rental Westphalia hosts offer include bike racks, kayak or paddleboard mounts, generators, outdoor grills, camp chair packages, linen and kitchen kits, and Wi-Fi hotspots, typically ranging from $10 to $50 each. Mileage policies usually include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with extra miles around $0.30 to $0.45 each, and some hosts offer unlimited mileage upgrades for longer trips. Pickup and drop-off are usually at the host's location in or near Westphalia, but delivery to your home, a campground, or even Reagan National Airport (DCA, about 12 miles away) is widely available. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus a linen kit for the easiest possible start, you just show up and go.
flyreagan.com/parking-transportationHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card, and no cash ever changes hands with the host. A refundable security deposit is collected separately from your booking payment, with amounts varying by RV type and listing, typically ranging from $500 to $1,500. The deposit is returned shortly after drop-off as long as the RV is returned in the same condition, with the agreed fuel and tank levels, and within mileage limits. Pro tip: snap dated photos of the interior, exterior, and odometer at both pickup and drop-off in the Westphalia parking spot, it is the easiest way to avoid any deposit issues and keeps everything transparent on both sides.
