The park was easy to find as long as you are aware that is located across the road from the rest of Cosca’s facilities. There is pavement all the way including in the park. Signage is adequate. Check in did not exist. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are narrow but Big Rig friendly as long as you are careful..
Our site, 24, was a paved back in that was just not quite long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp and water only) were to the left side. Distancing is mostly very good for a rural park. There are some sites that are side by side. Many sites have a vegetation privacy barrier. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was great so long as the site you are in is level, even and long enough for your rig. Most sites would be unacceptable for us due to the extreme slope and length. FYI There are no sites that would accommodate a forty footer.
There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did find many OTA channels. Satellite will be difficult. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean and up to date. Clearly the building is quite new.
There is a disclaimer on the book in web site that claims there is NO POWER. This is not true. There is 30 amp service at a number of sites. Sites 1, 2, 15. 18. 24 and 25 are powered. Sites 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 18, 19, 24 and 25 are reasonably level.
There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be an excellent base for visiting Washington DC. A fifteen minute drive to the Branch Avenue Metro Station (free parking) gives you access to most of the attractions. The subway is clean, safe and economical. We paid $13.00 per night (seniors rate) and we feel we received excellent value. We will be back if in...
Read moreOffice for permits for the family camping area is located at the back side of the Louise F Cosca sports complex across the road ( which has very up to date , nice playing fields and courts and a playground for younger kids... and the bathroom facilites there are newer) ...the very helpful office personnel arrives at 7:30 am M -F...and office closes promptly at 3...drive thru the Family camping area, this is an OLDER campground....it has Very rustic.. older bathroom/ shower facilities but meets the need...small playground for kids beside shower / bathroom house......Each site has water/ electric....using the 110 plug for anything but small appliances (fan, personal heater, crock pot ,etc ) will trip the plug BUT the 30 amp plugs work well for your camper ( use your electrical dog bone if you have a different amp either lower or higher amp hook up, )..do check your electrical hook up BEFORE deciding on a spot as this is an older park and not all camp sites get regular use and not all campers are careful in their use...... Mostly for smaller rigs but a few spots will accomodate a class A..you will need to level most rigs a bit, some spots more than others....each campsite has a fire pit/ grill and a picnic table....great for tent camping too ...ALL the campsites are really beautiful ...Pets allowed on leashes ..GREAT place to get out in the woods but still not to far from town if you need things!!! And All the personnel were VERY helpful....Wonderful older " out in the woods" camp ground...day use water amenities across the road Very convenient to seeing all the Washington DC sights during the day and then being able to return to nature and the quiet woods to...
Read moreThis is a small park with only 25 campsites. Unfortunately, only a few have working electricity. We stayed in site 2 and it was uneven back to front, quite a bit. The bathhouse was small but VERY clean. Trash cans are at every site which were emptied daily and twice on "trash pick up day!" As others have said, the campground is across the road from the main park, but the signage is excellent (see picture) - you really can't miss it. Since this is an older campground, the paved road (just one loop) is narrow in places and the entry road is really one lane (although there is grass/gravel at points to pull off if you meet an oncoming camper). The dump "hole" is on the way in/out and is just a yellow-covered drain hole to place your sewer hose into. Not what I am used to in campgrounds, but have seen this set up twice now. No wifi, but Verizon was 1-2 bars. Shopping was nearby We camped at Louise F Cosca Regional Park in a...
