Camping around DC area

Anyone have suggestions for campgrounds around DC over the Labor Day weekend?
We are looking to be in Chevy Chase for a funeral.
Thanks

  • If you qualify, (military, DOD civil, or ?) fort Mead is the best in the area.
  • Thanks for the replies, I have booked Cherry Hill. It looks the handiest to where we are going to be. The National Park Greenbelt is closed until 2020.

    Thanks

  • If you don't need hookups, Greenbelt National Park is quite close to Cherry Hill and very rarely fills up...though I would get a reservation for Labor Day weekend regardless. It's inexpensive, too.
  • You could stay at Washington DC / Capital KOA. I just checked and they have several 30 amp sites available.
  • In the chance those parks are full due to Labor Day weekend look at Smallwood State Park. They are not full hook-up but close enough for DC.
