Heading to Camden Yards, need advise on campground

[L2R]

We are avid White Sox fans and just bought tickets for April at Camden Yards.

Need some advise on places to stay for a few nights that is hopefully close by. Pull thru is preferred and probably will rent a car if no public/safe transportation is an option.

thanks in advance.

That's probably not doable if you really want to see DC. No matter where you stay it's at least 45 minutes to an hour in and an hour out of DC on public trans. And another 45 minutes to an hour in and out for Baltimore. Visiting DC, while small, will consume a lot of time if you really want to see it all.

That being said, Cherry Hill is a good selection.

Baseball games start at 7:30. OP could tour DC 8-5 and still make it to the game.

They can try it if they want. I'm just saying that its going be a long day. Up at 6:00 to catch METRO at 7:00. Whirlwind touring till 4:30. Go back pick up the car. Go to game and get out at 10:30. Home by 11:30. Rinse. Repeat. Don't know if they have a three game stand. Heck of a pace. Don't know how many days I could do it. 🙂

Sounds like a classic Walt Disney World schedule.. if you ask my wife and check her plans, at least! 😄

I think my schedule would be "Okay kids, be back here when you get tired. I will be waiting here." :B

For anything Baltimore Cherry Hill is an awful long way away. Then there is the traffic between.

The KOA between Annapolis & Baltimore is right next to I97 & a quick easy zip into & out of town. Who wants a long ride home after a game?

Camden Yards is a beautiful ball park. Boog's Barbacue is also nearby and you might want to check it out.

just another option still pretty close in to both DC and Baltimore is Ramblin' Pines in Woodbine, MD.

Ha... well played! Make sure you visit the Inner Harbor when you head up for the game. Beautiful downtown area with nice shops and restaurants. Even if you head up 3 hours before the game and walk around its a nice visit. If you have time, spend a day up there. The Aquarium is really nice, a good Science Museum if you have kids,
Fort McHenry... lots of stuff to do in Baltimore.

Heck, if you have another day to "waste", I would encourage you to wander over to Annapolis. Its the capitol of Maryland and its right on the water. Lots of cool shops and restaurants. The Naval Academy is there, the General Assembly of Maryland is there... lots more to do.

Thanks EVERYONE.

Cherry Hill it is.

Cherry Hill is the best option if you're going to do the DC tourist stuff during the day. Very convenient to the METRO (subway) system. About 27 miles to Camden Yards, but you'll also be dealing with some of the evening rush hour commute, too. Sounds like a long day, but doable. Enjoy!
