Rating: 9 1 10 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is our second time staying at Hillwood, the first was a 3 year stay, and then this 2 night stay. The camping park is great. It's beautiful, green, and quiet from the minute you drive inside. Trees, a beautiful pond, and flowers make it feel so secluded despite being in the city. The camping park is so reasonably priced for the area. They provide a laundry room, bath house, and mail services. - skisqueen
This was the worst place I have literally ever been. Filthy!!! Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The lady in the office is constantly talking bad about all the people staying at the park. Not a nice person at all and the owner takes no pride what so ever in this park. Lots of full time residents that have tons of old stuff hoarded around the outsides of their campers. This place was just gross! - Kelly from Ga
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hillwood Camping Park »This camping park is a blessing. It has the best staff, a beautiful location, and amazing prices!!! It caters to long-term tenants, which I love, no constant in and out. It doesn't have certain perks, pool or playground, but the surrounding area makes up for it! There is a water fountain, a water park, tons of playgrounds, bounce houses, tons for families to do! The sites are well maintained, considering the high level or rain and snow that falls there. The laundry facility does its job, cheap washers and dryers! The bath/shower house isn't perfect, but long-term residents don't need it to be, our campers provide it. There is no problem with security here, as a resident of 3 years, there was 1 incident. I recommend this park to the fullest, I couldn't have been happier anywhere. - skisqueen

Rating: 9 6 8 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This was our fourth time to stay at Greenville Farm. It is by far the best RV Park in the DC area, though somewhat rustic. I would say very nice for a working farm. We like the farm setting with cattle, fields, and a pond. It also feels more secure being at the back of the farm. We have made this our home away from home while visiting family in Arlington, and taking in some of the sights in DC. We have learned that the even numbered sites in the first 16 are the most level for our RV. This area is not heavily shaded, so we are able to use our DirecTV satellite. AT&T works fine here even though WIFI is not available. We use the Laundry every time and find it adequate but it could use a little more attention. Washers and dryers all work well. - Texas E-S
This was an OK campground but our site was not great. It's important to note that there are several sections which are vastly different. We were in the full hookup pull-through section which is just some gravel spots in an open field. The sites are very close together, they face in alternate directions (so you share your camping area with your neighbor), and are on a bit of a hill so it's pretty hard to get level front-to-back. Overall our site was not great but was OK for the few days we were there. There's another camping section further back that doesn't have full hookups, but feels more like a state park campground - heavily wooded, pretty, and natural. The long driveway from the main road to the camp office is narrow (one lane) but newly paved and smooth. We did run into an outbound car on our way in, so the car had to back up to the camp office so we could get by. The road from the office to the full hookup sites is in poor condition (narrow, uneven, and rutted) but manageable. We had good AT&T and Verizon signal, and found plenty of places to walk our dog thanks to the wooded camping area behind our area. We'd stay again in a pinch, but prefer a couple county parks in the area. - LifeRebooted
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Greenville Farm Family Campground »Nice quiet park even though all the field sites filled up. When we went for a long walk around the whole campground there where many more sites in the wooded areas but few were full this mid fall weekend. The site appeared to slope a little front to back however I had no problem leveling as I was planning to disconnect anyway. - 2mainiacs

Rating: 10 6 8 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed two weeks in a 40 foot fifth wheel. This is our fourth stay here and we simply love almost everything about this park. Let's get the almost out of the way...we hate the shotgun range that is on the back side of the park. It seems a shame to have such a beautiful location for camping marred by full days of shotguns going off. Makes it difficult to enjoy sitting outside to watch the flora and fauna. You would be well served to call ahead of time for reservations to be sure you pick a site that will accommodate your rig and connections. Most sites on the full hookup road are pull thru along the road but your connections may be on the wrong side or behind your rig as is the case with site 123. We have been here twice in spring for bluebells and my what a beautiful trail this is. It is such a joy to watch the spring awakening. Also, all three of our bird feeders have visitors all day long. In the fall, you can find PaPas on the same trail. The White Trail is great for an evening stroll and we usually see deer along this trail and even on the back road of the campground. The Water Park is open in the summer. Access roads in the park are fine but they have a few potholes to work on. Do not let your GPS take you in the back way via the special events/shooting center unless the main entrance is flooded. The campground is higher and doesn't "usually" flood. Make sure you have plenty of water, sewer, and electric. Make sure you have appropriate hiking shoes, this is a forest flood plane and it is wet. Visit DC via the Fairfax Vienna metro just 14 miles (45 minutes) away. - Moe and Flo are on the go
The stay wasn’t horrible. Easy in and easy out. The only real negative thing that we experienced were the constant gunshots from the shooting range. - Cljoyce0704

The space was very large and was very quiet at night. Water pressure a okay, but did not need a reducer. We would stay here again. - D-Miller

Rating: 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a beautiful 18,000 acre park operated by the National Park Service. The web site indicates RV's are restricted to 32 ft, but this is not true. Larger units can be accommodated. All sites are heavily wooded and the campground is 7 miles from the entrance to the park. The staff and campground host are very helpful and friendly. This is a campground for people who want to be close to nature. If you desire swimming pools, etc., this park is not for you. It is within a 1/2 mile of I-95 located just 30 miles south of Washington D.C. - geodrake

Pull-Thru SitesPool AccessBig Rig AccessPets Allowed-lake Waterfront AccessTents AllowedReviews of Burke Lake Park
Rating: 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Dry camping only with dump station near camp store and fresh water spigots at restrooms. Probably a great campground for tent camping but sites for RVs are very limited. The few that are level or long enough for an RV may or may not be available when you arrive, since you can't reserve specific sites ahead of time. Roads and sites are gravel/rock/dirt. Recent rains and poor drainage left some roads very pitted and with gullies running through them. Other than that, if you want to dry camp, have a small RV, and can grab an acceptable site (park literature says #'s C1,3,4,5,8 and B1,8,9 are good for up to 30' RVs) then this is really a beautiful place. Very heavily shaded. Near beautiful little lake. Nice walking trails. Lots of activities for kids in general park area (train, carousel, ice cream shop, putt-putt and disc golf). Verizon signal strong. Over-the-air TV antenna brought in plenty of channels. - aowcarol
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Burke Lake Park »This is a nice, small, primarily tent campground that is well maintained by the park authority. We spent one night during Labor Day weekend and there were plenty of sites available. Everyone was tent camping. Smaller trailers could back into some campsites witout too much trouble. All sites are under trees. There are only a few lake side campsites with limited views of the lake. There's a small playground and grassy field. There are 3 fairly clean bathhouses which is plenty for this size campground. A camp store and dump station are at the cg entrance. The main park which is on the other side of the lake has Par 3 golf, mini-golf, frisbee golf, fishing, rowboat rentals, ice cream parlor, carrousel, small train rides, and a good hiking/biking/fitness trail. Private canoes and kayaks are allowed, but no rentals. There is no swimming. You can get to the main park by using the trail. I was the only one who noticed a lot of night road noise from a road outside of the park. Otherwise, the campground was quiet. I'm sure we will return for a full weekend stay. - crazy4sailin

Rating: 7 8 8 1 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Decent older park adjacent to the national park. Interior roads and sites are paved, but not very level. Heavily wooded but no issues with overhead branches. - DrLewie
We used a Good Sam discount and paid the $5 to guarantee the site via phone. Only stayed 2 nights for a wedding in the area Sept. 8/9. Site B2 needed some leveling, was paved with nice picnic table. Our site was long enough for our 15' teardrop, but we needed to park our Ram pickup crossways, which made it very close to the loop road. Check in was quick and friendly owners. Ice available as well as propane and RV supplies. A short walk to the restrooms which were code entry, very clean and showers worked great. If we were staying in the area again, we would reserve C2 - seemed to be a little roomier and has a large shade tree. Check out the site numbers on the website and read all reviews. Pool looked nice, but we did not use. No fire ring at most sites, but you could reserve one for a nightly fee along with firewood purchase. Pretty quiet, not a lot of kids using the playground. If we would have had more time and if the weather was nicer we would have walked to the rear of the park to check out row F. We were very pleased with staying here. - Teardrop TAB320S owner
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Prince William Forest RV Campground »This campground is best suited for smaller RVs (32 feet and under) and people looking for convenience to DC rather than an actual parklike setting (rated "good" based on that criteria). Most sites are cramped. There are a few longer, shadier sites F12-F18 (50amp full hookup, back-in) in last row but be sure to bring leveling blocks because those sites are low in the rear. Two more rows of full hookup pull-through sites (D & E rows) but it might be a challenge to fit anything longer than 30 feet. Rows B & C are 30 amp E/W. F1-F10 (nice shade) suitable only for tents, pop-ups, or camper vans. Propane for sale near office. Over the air TV signal good. Verizon signal good. Very nice laundry room near bathhouse. Nice little pool. Tiny playground. Small dog park is a nice touch. Camp hosts were very helpful and pleasant. Definitely will return when visiting the area. - aowcarol

Rating: 8 8 9 7 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a nice little park very conveniently located to DC. There is no water or sewer at the sites, so come prepared! We filled our fresh tank and made it 6 nights without an issue. As others have mentioned, the shower house has 6 individual rooms that are like private bathrooms, except that they're open above so you can hear everything. The fans were never on, but if they could be turned on it would probably help with the humidity. I suspect the showers are hosed down, but lifting up the "handicap bench" disclosed mucky black hair balls that could easily have been cleaned, and it was very slimy! An elevated mat in the dressing area would be nice so you don't have to stand in the water that comes out from the shower or is left from the hosing down. Also, check the water before you undress - some of the showers only trickle (#1) and the water never gets warm! On the other hand, the sinks spray with such force that you are basically showering there with your clothes on, and the water gets so hot you can't rinse your face with it! Seems like a couple of easy fixes are in order there. Overall it's a nice park, wish we could have explored the trails a bit more, but it rained the first 5 days we were there non-stop, so we only had one nice day. We were grateful the campground is on high ground! The dump station is near the shower house and seems easy to access, we'll use it on our way out. All-in-all, it was convenient for us and we would stay again. - Denise and Glenn
Very convenient location for visiting the DC area. With the recently opened Metro Silver Line, there is a stop only a few miles away. None of the sites have water or sewer, and about half have 50A electric service. The sites are reasonably spaced, and there is little shade. Sat TV and cell service were good. The camping area is high on a hill about a half mile from the lake/water park. The place is quiet on weekdays, but the water park and picnic areas are packed on weekends in the nice weather. - NKA

There were trails for hiking and lots of other activities in the park. People in the office were very friendly and helpful. Dish TV, AT&T cell phones and Verizon MiFi all worked well. We stayed here for a week and enjoyed it tremendously. It was a great base for sightseeing in the immediate area and in D.C. Will definitely stay here again if we are in the area. - Bobbi1948
