    Cherry Hill campground is the closest to the Mall and has a shuttle to take you there.

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes. Once you get off of the Metro you will be walking a lot to tour the various museums.
  • Lake Fairfax Park in VA is close to the silver line Metro and Cherry Hill Campground in MD has a bus that takes you to the Metro as well as tour buses.
  • We found the best way for us was to use the Metro. There are many stations with large parking lots and a day passes with unlimited use for a nominal fee.
    DC Metro maps are available online, just choose a station close to where you are staying.
