District of Columbia Campground Fees, Hookups & Reservations
No fee data in the federal directory. We report the reservable-vs-first-come split by agency; nightly fees and hookup specifics live on each campground's Recreation.gov page. Federal coverage only.
The District of Columbia has two federal campgrounds, both of which operate under the Recreation.gov reservation system. All federal campgrounds in the District are reservable, meaning campers must book sites in advance rather than relying on first-come, first-served availability. This 100% reservation-based system allows visitors to secure their campsites ahead of their trips.
Fees and hookup availability vary by individual facility and must be verified directly on each campground's Recreation.gov page. The National Park Service and other federal agencies managing these properties set their own pricing structures and amenity offerings. Prospective campers should consult the specific Recreation.gov listing for their chosen campground to confirm current fees, available hookups, and other site-specific details before making reservations.
Where fees and hookups actually live
The federal directory tracks who manages a campground, how many sites it has and whether it's reservable — but not nightly fees or RV hookups, which differ site to site. For those, open the campground's Recreation.gov page, where current fees, hookup types and the reservation window are listed.
| Managing agency | Reservable | First-come |
|---|---|---|
| National Park Service | 2 | 0 |
Common questions
Do District of Columbia federal campgrounds have RV hookups?
Some do and some don't — hookup availability isn't in the federal directory data, so check each campground's Recreation.gov page for water, electric and sewer details.
How much does it cost to camp?
Fees vary by facility and aren't part of the federal export, so we don't quote a price. Each Recreation.gov facility page shows its current nightly fee.
