- BumpyroadExplorerso spend one or two nights at Cherry Hill then move on to the KOA.
bumpy - deeangeExploreri agree with cherry hill we were their in july and were very impressed and yes the transportation made it alot easier to visit dc.
2003 Airstream Land Yacht - LantleyNomadAs far as DC goes CH caters to the DC touring crowd. Others parks may claim to or would like to have the DC business but they are not committed to DC touring RV'ers like Cherry Hill.
There are cheaper alternatives to Cherry Hill but you need to know the DC metro area a bit to take advantage of those places. Cherry Hill is the best choice for seeing DC if you are from out of town and not familiar with the DC area.
The OP requested Balto.Annapolis,DC. KOA Millersville is centrally located.
choice. CH is a decent alternative choice that is skewed toward touring DC.
All of the VA places while decent choices for DC are not convenient to Balto. and Annapolis. - BumpyroadExplorer

Hello, looking for a campsite for a 35 foot travel trailer for next Easter to visit Baltimore, Annapolis and DC area. I am not really finding anything. Or do you have a particular one for any of these individual cities? Thanks in advance!!
there is a KOA right in the middle of those three sites.
bumpy - VeebyesExplorer IIIt really depends on how much time will be spent where. If Baltimore & Annapolis are the primary attractions then the Millersville KOA is the one. For DC I'd be inclined to move to a CG closer to DC. Cherry Hill is hellishly expensive for the questionable convenience of having a bus to the METRO.
I'll add Lake Fairfax Countty Park to Bull Run & Green Belt for CGs much cheaper than CH but close enough to a METRO staion with relatively inexpensive all day parking. LFCP is an oasis of tranquility, besides maybe Dulles air traffic by day, compared to CGs close to major highways. - GMandJMExplorerStaying at CH gives the option to commute into DC without driving (via bus/metro).
The drive to Baltimore and Annapolis from CH isn't so bad. - LantleyNomad

Cherry Hill Campground would be most convenient (and the most expensive)
Bull Run Regional Park is good if you don't need a sewer hookup
Green Belt Park (part of NPS) is good if you don't need any hookups and have a genny. There is a 30' max, but you can call to see if they'd let you squeeze in.
Have fun in DC. (Spend lots of money! ):B

Those places are great for DC but not as central to Balto. or Annapolis as the KOA - VeebyesExplorer IIAgree, for the most central of all 3 cities the Millersville KOA, just off 97, is the best. From there Annapolis is only 15 minutes away. Downtown Baltimore maybe 30 minutes. My guess is DC will be 45 minutes to an hour at least. A long commute.
