Camping near Dranesville, Virginia
Dranesville sits in northern Fairfax County along the Leesburg Pike corridor, roughly 20 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. and just south of the Potomac River.

The closest private options include Greenville Farm Family Campground, Inc., a family destination in Haymarket set on a 200-acre working farm near the foothills of the Bull Run Mountains and the Manassas National Battlefield, and Hillwood Camping Park in Gainesville.

Great adventure for a novice. A little mixup on purpose of trip my not understanding that we were “boondogging” and not informing Owner so plumbing changes could be made to water supply so water would be available on our trip to Yale University and onward to Niagara Falls ON. Overall RV performed as expected. My two granddaughters my goddaughter the cat and the dog enjoyed our 1st RV venture. Looking forward to our next adventure and college evaluation searches. Owner was very responsive and helpful along the way. I’d like to say thanks for our first RV lesson.

Great Class B experience. This was our first Class B with a wet bath. It was nicely outfitted with cookware, towels, linens, pillows, and outdoor chairs, table, and large mat. The screen in the side door allowed us to open the sliding door while keeping the bugs out. Bob was supper responsive with great communications before and during the rental. We had a couple minor issues that he helped us work out quickly.
