Cherry Hill RV Park ~ College Park, Maryland (DC)

Description:  This is a very good and well managed RV campground.  The staff in the front office are very friendly & helpful.  The park is maintained beautifully and in fact, probably one of the best we have ever stayed in.  The campground has just about everything you can think of including a restaurant on site that you will get a 20% coupon for when you check in.  If you purchase a Cherry Hill cup at the Grill you get free refills for your entire stay.  It is also very kid-friendly! It was the perfect location to visit Washington DC. The bus picks you up and takes you to a Metro depot for a short ride into DC.  Every day they have a 1 hour training session for newcomers on how to see the sights at the least cost. It was great!  Access to the DC metro is great and easy once you get use to it.  Tours from the campground are convenient. The pools (one heated) are some of the nicest we have seen. The cafe offers a wide variety of items. Gift shop and RV supply stores are well supplied.  You do hear highway noise and sites are smaller, but we expected this being so close to DC. They offer 10% discount for Good Sam, AAA and a few other clubs.

    Date of Stay:  April 28th, 2012 for 10 days
    Weather During Stay: Some rain, some cool and some warm!

    Favorite Sites: We stayed on site 208 and we had plenty of room. We had a patio premium site with brick patio/picnic table/ patio furniture/grill. Sites are gravel with wood boarder.  There are many sites that are close but that is to be expected some since it is in a city and close to DC.  They all are pretty nice.

    Rate:  Rates very on your style of site.  We had a premium site and it was $63 a night with Good Sam. They also honor several other club cards.

    Phone/TV/Internet:  Everything worked great here ~ Verizon and AT&T phones were good, Direct TV top satellite came in great and they had cable TV.

    Elevation/Landscape:   A little hilly but our site was level... the first site we went to we couldn't level on but after we moved to another site no problems what so ever.

    Lighting/Noise:  Campground streetlights and noise from the highway!

    Hiking/Walking/Biking:  Nice hiking trail through the woods not to mention you'll be walking like crazy in DC.
    Things to See & Do:  You're near DC ~ there is a ton of things to see & do!!!

    Rating: (9.5) Noise was the reason for not getting a perfect 10.... This park was fabulous and the noise didn't keep me up at night.

    Have Fun & Travel Safe
