Kingstowne camping overview
Kingstowne sits in Fairfax County just south of Alexandria, inside the Washington, D.C. beltway. RV renters use it as a base for touring the National Mall, Mount Vernon, and the historic Potomac corridor, then head out to campgrounds in the surrounding Virginia and southern Maryland countryside. There are no full-hookup campgrounds inside Kingstowne itself, so most trips involve a short drive to a park on I-95, US-301, or the Maryland side of the Potomac.
The closest public land with camping is Prince William Forest Park, a roughly 15,000-acre wooded park about 35 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. that preserves a major portion of the Quantico Creek watershed. It offers two RV-relevant options: Oak Ridge Campground inside the national park, and the concessionaire-run Prince William Forest RV Campground with full hookups.
Across the Potomac in Charles County, Maryland, Smallwood State Park and Goose Bay Marina and Campground sit on Mattawoman Creek and the Potomac. For travelers who want to park close to the Metro and tour the capital, Cherry Hill Park in College Park, Maryland is the nearest full-service RV resort to the city.
Things to do near Kingstowne
Sightseeing in D.C. is the main draw. Cherry Hill Park runs buses to the Metro and organizes sightseeing tours, which makes it easy to leave the RV parked and ride into the city. Kingstowne itself provides quick access to Old Town Alexandria, Mount Vernon, and the Mount Vernon Trail along the Potomac.
For outdoor time, Prince William Forest Park offers 37 miles of foot trails, many of them following or crossing two forks of Quantico Creek, plus a 12-mile paved Scenic Drive through the forest that is popular with cyclists, and about 10 miles of gravel fire roads open to mountain bikers and hikers.
On the Maryland side, Smallwood State Park has a marina with six boat launching ramps, picnic areas, a playground, and nature trails, with fishing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, canoeing, hiking, and wildlife viewing available in the area. Goose Bay Marina and Campground adds Potomac River fishing and boat access.

The region runs on a distinct four-season schedule, and most campgrounds outside Cherry Hill Park operate on a seasonal calendar. Oak Ridge Campground is open March through November and accommodates tents, RVs, and trailers, closing for the winter on December 1 and reopening in early March. Prince William Forest RV Campground and Cherry Hill Park operate year-round, so plan cold-weather trips around those two.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for camping and sightseeing. Cherry blossom season in late March and early April drives heavy demand at D.C.-area campgrounds, and fall foliage does the same in October and early November. Summer is hot and humid, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms; families often prefer the pool at Cherry Hill Park or the water access at Smallwood and Goose Bay.
Winter camping options are limited, and the Smallwood campground is much quieter outside the warm months. Reservations at Smallwood are not required but are recommended, especially between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

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.

What to expect near Kingstowne

At Oak Ridge, recreational vehicles may not exceed 32 feet in length and 12 feet in height, and trailers and fifth wheels are limited to 26 feet, so larger rigs should route to the RV campground, Cherry Hill Park, or Smallwood.
Smallwood State Park has 18 campsites, 16 of which are suitable for both RVs and tents, and each site has a camping pad, 50-amp electric and water hookups, a picnic table, a lantern post, and a fire ring with a grill attachment. Sites accommodate rigs up to about 30 feet, and the park has a dump station and bathhouses with hot showers.
Cell service can be weak inside Prince William Forest. Traffic on I-95 and the Beltway is heavy during weekday rush hours, so plan arrivals and departures accordingly.
