Spring Break is an especially busy time in Washington DC. Expect to wait in lines for admittance to the more popular museums. Also, expect to walk many miles after getting off the Metro. With that in mind, walking great distance to the Metro from a campsite makes for a miserable return back to the camper. Save your self a lot of agony, and stay at Cherry Hill park while visiting DC. A Metro bus stops at the campground. Easy as can be.
How long are the waits you are talking about? We might re think this if the place will be working alive.
It depends on which museum. The more popular like the Air and Space, American History, and the Natural History could have an hour wait just to get inside, and quite crowded to see everything. Security to get in like the airport but no shoe removal. To see the Capitol, make arrangements with your Congressman for a private tour. It will be busy, but DC is one of the major tourist destinations of the world. People are friendly and helpful. Go, do it, just know that you will not be the only one there!!!
Thanks DTA. Is it helpful to do it like Disney and be there 1/2 hour before “rope drop”?
