Robert C McDonell Campground

I love places of nature. I also like camping. This place is very close by. So here's the problem:nnPeople who go camping generally want to be away from the city. Here you can hear cars and people frequently walk around. No one wants to camper people are walking by. It's strange. This land should be innovated and used better for outdoor activities.nnThis land seems to be forgotten about

People are using this campground as a dog park. They will not pick dog poop. You can see it all over. They will even not use leash when trail marker clearly says dog should always be on leash. I never see any park ranger here. People will bring their dogs to train here and dog will scare badly other trail users. Otherwise I like to keep coming again.

I usually go on walks around the campground, it’s very relaxing.

Pretty setting next to noisy I270. Many tent sites bordered by landscaping timbers.

I wish I could give this place ZERO stars. Apparently, only county residents can reserve spots...which is UNAMERICAN! Do yourself a favor and go six miles down the road to the C&O. It's free and you don't have to be around people who think they're better than you.
