Great location to visit Washington. We stayed at B46, which was flat, and had good T-Mobile service. Bathroom is dated, but clean and functional, though only one shower with shower curtain for privacy. Only a handful of campers when we were here.

Wanting to avoid D.C. traffic (which turned out to be not so bad, after all) and municipal codes possibly prohibiting parking our rig for the night, we ended up staying at Greenbelt NP while visiting the capital.

Decent place with somewhat clean restrooms. Very quiet when we were there - lots of bugs, though. The campground is inside a forest, so you might have trouble if you rely on solar, and you Starlink won't get any signal either.

We drove to the Greenbelt Metro Station (about 10 minutes away) each morning, where we parked for the day and took the train into the city. Worked fine for us and we would probably do it again.

Little noisy from major road and train. But, nice for one night.

Very noce place near dc. Stayed 3 nights and parked at college metro station during day to visit downtown Loop c has showers and dump. Other loops all have washroom. Very good spot to visit dc

Perfect spot to camp near dc. We stay here 3 nights and park our van at the metro station near by during the day to go downtown. 20$ a night!! Loop c is a good bet since it has dump station and shower. But we were in f and all is close.

First off let me correct the Name as this is NOT a National Forest campground but rather a unit of the National Park Service. We had site 53 which was flat and noticed those sites on the inner loop are more likely to be level than those on the other loop. This is about as close as you can camp to downtown DC if you're here to visit the Nations Capitol. The facilities are worn and could use some upgrading, but the showers are hot! Another aspect is that there is no gate locked after hours despite you're located in a densely urban area. Thats because at the entrance road to the park is a US Park Police Sub Station. Also despite being on a hill top with heavily traveled roads nearby you could barely hear any traffic noise and thats in the winter with no foliage. A Mall is locate 3 miles from you campsite should you need anything.

Stayed here for two nights in site 53 in our small camper van. For $20 we had a decent stay. Flush toilets, one shower stall per bathroom with unlimited hot water. We were staying in December and we were super happy to learn that the bathrooms were heated which made for a much more comfortable shower. The sites in b loop didn’t look like they had much level area for tent campers, but we were fine in our small van. There’s also not much space between sites. It’s very reasonably priced though and close to dc so we can’t complain. It was a nice stay.

Nice campsite with a hiking trail to the Washington DC metro. Very popular so reserve your site before you get there on Reserve America. With our National Park Pass we paid $10 a night. Only complaint no soap in the bathrooms.

Nice campsite in the middle of an urban area but still will lots of trees and hiking trails. There is a hiking trail from the campsite to the metro that will take you into Washington DC. Only complaint no soap in the bathrooms. This campsite fills up quickly so reserve before you get there (Reserve América). With a pass we paid $10 a night ( no hookups )

Price is reasonable for $20 and has (hot) shower). Quite a hike to the closest subway station by foot though. If you have a tall vehicle you might be ahead driving up yo greenbelt station to park and ride into town. (College station is a parking garage, Greenbelt is flat open parking lot). The bathrooms aren't the best condition. (stayed in B loop). Only one of them has a shower. Primitive camping. Picnic tables, fire rings (very very tall). Water available. No electricity. It's in the middle of a big city so expect traffic noise, frequent low flying helicopters, and sirens at random times. Overall not a great experience, but where else can you stay around here?

Great state Park ! To visit Washington, you can sleep there, then park on a street in the city. The ranger was so Nice : he found us a spot, althought it was fullybooked and for free ! So we decide to stay another night. No shower.

Great location for inexpensive stay in the Washington area, took the metro in. We stayed during the fall and there were very few people there. We reserved by phone.

$20, spent one night here to get a bit of nature between cities. Can still hear all the city noises but had a good sleep. Hot showers and potable water. Pay online.

Camping rustique mais bon accueil. En effet comptez 40 min de marché jusqu'au métro. Un bus passe près du parking sud du parc mais que toutes les 20 min. Ensuite le métro vous emmène en 25 min près du Mali en descendant à la station Archives. Le ranger nous a prêté des cartes pour le métro qui coûtent normalement 2$ par personnes . Les emplacements sont un peu étroits et les sanitaires poussiéreux mais ça ne coûte que 20$ la nuit.

We stayed there 2 nights while visiting Washington DC.
Lovely park with loads of trees (so not so good for solar powered batteries).

You can only book online but I would recommend booking once you have found your spot (there’s cell coverage in/out in some places in the park). We went in mid-July and there were plenty of spaces.

20$ per night.

There are hot showers but loads of insects and spiders everywhere.

Most sites are pretty secluded and all have a picnic table. No power nor water at sites - dry camping only.

We stayed in the D loop as it’s the closest to the trail that leads to the street which leads to the metro station to downtown.

We walked to the metro station which takes around 45 minutes. You can also take the bus #F6 which takes you there a little faster. But I would recommend to drive there as there’s plenty of parking. 5$ but totally worth it! (I think it might be free on the weekend) The parking is very sunny as well so you can recharge your solar powered battery!

It cost about 8$ for round trip to downtown by metro.

Overall, great place to stay near Washington DC.

20$ per night for RV. No hook-up but dump station. No Wi-Fi. Hot showers. 45 minutes walking to metro with children near big roads , and then 30 minutes train to the mail. Campground noisy day and night (highway, airport). But the best solution we found to visit Washington.
