Best camping near Washington DC and Montreal - davidkerryedwards - 05-23-2006 07:02 Will be heading east with the Bird in a few weeks. What's the best camping near Washington DC and Montreal? Found a website for Pohick Bay Regional Park Campground in Lorton VA, and Camping Alouette near Montreal. Any opinion on these places or others? Anyone camped at Ashteague National Seashore? Kerry 82 FC 35 Denver Best camping near Washington DC and Montreal - Rob Robinson - 05-23-2006 07:43 Kerry my wife and I really enjoyed Cherry Hill RV park on the outskirts of DC (north of DC where I-95 meets the Beltway). It is not the cheapest but it is so convient and when you factor in the travel time and cost of fuel of the the cheaper (and further out) RV parks, Cherry Hill was a deal. A great park that even has a dog walking service. A regular bus run comes into the park and takes you to the subway. Our trip into town each day was just around one hour each way. Their info can be found at http://www.cherryhillpark.com/ 23/05/06, davidkerryedwards > > Will be heading east with the Bird in a few weeks. What's the best > camping near Washington DC and Montreal?

You park on pads right near the dunes, maybe 100 yds from ocean. Wild horses & deer roam the areas. 2: If parking SOUTH of DC, Pohick Bay Regional Park is nice, further south is Prince William Forest Park, part of the national park system. To tour DC, get to a METRO subway train station and ride metro into town and tour the mall area using the Smithsonian station, the entire Mall area is one of the best urban walking tourist areas in the world. The mall area is safe. Parking at METRO is tough, no RVs...you can park RV easily at Springfield Mall, just east off RT95 at Rt 644 and walk 1/4 mi to the Springfield METRO Station south of the mall. Web sites for all these locations are excellent. Frank 85FC33 Woodbridge, Va. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "davidkerryedwards" > > Will be heading east with the Bird in a few weeks.

Since we'll have our canoes along, Pohick Bay seems more appealing since we can do some paddling. Thanks for the hints on the mall parking, we should have a toad along. What's the difference between the State Park and National Seashore. On the web it looked like the National Seashore had camping pads very close to the ocean.

The sites are mostly large pull-throughs, and there is a shuttle service from the park to downtown Montreal each morning with a return trip in the late afternoon. Best wishes.

Both are no hookups as I recall and may have generator limitations. Great bicycle area (flat).
