    Very nice KOA Holiday location, we have stayed at a few. We were lucky to get a spot arriving in the middle of a holiday weekend, but using their site reservation tool we were able to get a suitable spot near the bath house. The bath house was big and clean! This is important to us having a pop up camper. The only negative was they have 6 showers and one is only slightly wider than the others and has a Handicap sign on it. It would have been great if they built 5 showers and made one even bigger for mobility impaired people, but I managed. The staff was nice and the store well stocked at reasonable prices! They kept it really clean during the holiday weekend despite being packed! The last 2 days beginning the next week days was very pleasant and quiet. 50 minute drive into DC to tour on our own. The pool was nice! Would definitely come back.,

    Campers with no trees. Pit stop.

    1. Customer Service not good: it felt like we were a bother during checkin. Asked if any events planned and she was like not sure. 2. It is right off thruway and you could hear all the cars. It felt like a pit stop for camp trailers. Definitely not a camping feeling. 3. No hot water or for that matter warm water to shower. 4. At other KOAs we stayed the owners would visit and check on campers. Not here. They drove on their golf carts and encircled the camp ground. No hello no nothing . On a positive note, the bathrooms were clean and so was our cabin.

    Was treated very poorly by staff, man in a golf cart harassed me to the point of canceling my reservation. Then followed my vehicle to the entrance, I was shocked at how terrible I was treated and I blame it solely on me being young and having tattoos. Assumed and discriminated against me, looked on google reviews and wasn't surprised. Bob the slasher is the owner, do not stay here. If you have to stay here, play nice with employees.. heed my warning.

    This is a great spot to camp, it has a lot of activities for kids like a pool (closed for covid) playground, bikes, chess, and a jump pad, scavenger hunt and outdoor movies. (No lake for fishing) I've been to a few KOAs and this is only the second that had the jump pad. (Obx KoA has one too) if you're looking for some time away to relax this place is settled nicely in Maryland with reasonable access to nearby stores, shops, DC of course and even better a drive in movie theater is about 40 min north of here. It makes for a great weekend getaway for the family or for you and your significant other. I've camped here three separate times, they offer late night check in, allow dogs, everyone is friendly, and due to the area prices are higher than other KoAs I've stayed at. The staff is awesome and does a great job at keeping social distancing in place. Over the fall they do two weekends of Halloween decoration and trick or treating.

    DANGER - "Bob the Slasher"? Be sure to read this incredible update! After we placed the negative review below, we have video recording evidence and believe that "Bob the Manager" vindictively damaged our RV by slashing the high pressure sewer hose inside our RV bay, causing hundreds of dollars of damage and creating a dangerous leak of sewer on the last night we stayed at the Capitol KOA Park. THE REVIEW: "This place is on our "never return" list. Firstly, the park is in the armpit of two freeways built at "old hog farm" - all this luxury for $100 per night. It is "conveniently located" only 1 hour typical drive from D.C. Oh, and can words describe how asinine, petty, and insulting the staff are? I was astonished, appalled, offended, and incredulous by our unexpected interactions with them. Kind of like the four seasons of emotions in a 30 minute period except without summer or spring. Logic and basic expectations of acceptable customer service are totally bereft. This is the park to make you grateful for all the other parks you will stay at. *** AVOID ***" The Evidence - draw your own conclusions: After my guests and I suffer horrible verbal abuse and absurd accusations from Bob the manager and his staff over a $14 guest parking pass (that we had no idea was required) we pay the $14 but ask for an apology. Bob refuses to apologize and become extremely hostile. We tell him that the treatment is absolutely unacceptable at every level and promise that we will be leaving an appropriate review to reflect his despicable demeanor. He storms off. At 9:00pm I post the above review. I have a 24/7 video recording system on my RV and tow vehicle (Front and back HD video recording). On video - At 10:13pm my video system records what looks like the manager's golf buggy drive to my RV. (Scoping it out?) On video - At 10:15pm the golf buggy drives back toward the office. On video - At 10:19pm a person with a flashlight walks from office direction to my RV. We are all watching a movie. At 10:20pm from my driver's chair I observe through a window someone that I immediately perceive to be Bob the manager outside my motorhome with a flashlight walking around it. At 11:15pm my wife tells me to empty the gray water tank as it is full. I go out and turn on the high pressure sewer pump. Gray water sprays everywhere from a gash that was stabbed into the high pressure with a knife inside the RV bay - strategically slashed to inflict maximum damage and contamination. My 13 year old daughter usually does this job. I get sprayed with gray water and inside bay is contaminated (See photo). Hmmm. Who would do such a thing and what would the motive be? I have little doubt it was "Bob, the slasher". Do you really want to send your family to a place with such a lunatic who would do such things? What a horrible, vindictive, psycho person! Protect the safety and sanity of your family and stay far, far away!

    We checked in late and they forgot to leave our paperwork out for us but I understand since it was late. The manager was extremely nice and courteous and came to the front at almost 1am and helped us. He took us to our cabin which was clean and cozy!! Definitely will be coming back in the summer when it's warmer. We needed somewhere to stay for the Chicken Wing Fest and this was not only close but adventurous!!!! Only four stars because it was extremely cold and the room was freezing before we turned the heater on.

    The scavenger hunt was great fun for the kids!!! We had fun watching and doing some hunting ourselves!

    It's about a 30 minute drive to the rail station for DC which we did rather than use their shuttle.

    I live very near here and when I go on my walks I sometimes venture in here as the trail leads this…read moreway. I just happened to walk into the grounds a week or two ago and finally got a good look at them. I have been through here many times while on the Metro Bus and only get a glimpse. It is well used and not just in the warm months. There are always people here throughout the year. As expected, during the warmer months this place is packed. With the amount of things on property to do during those months, I can see why. There is minigolf, playgrounds, spray playground, and tons of walking trails. I also see the horse crossing signs along the road and trails through the area, so be aware of that. The only downside to this place, and it is of no fault to the owners, is the amount of traffic that passes by and may cause a bit of a hectic situation when it comes to entering and exiting. They have widened the road in front of the entrance to allow for a turning lane and an entrance lane to the road, but a lot of the people traveling the road seem to not understand that. I don't see the road widening any further until the brides that cross over I-495 are replaced and widened themselves.

    The park is clean and the staff is friendly…read more It has all the attractions, pools and pond. The park is really close to the freeway and very loud. It is really a park for tourists and families with kids. They have a rental ballroom which had non-campers racing through the park. The little train/tactor ride around the park stopped in front of our site beeping the train horn with people yelling as we were trying to cook. I don't need to be on someone elses vaction. They also allow golf carts with sound and light systems to race around the park blasting music and yelling. It was a different RV experience than we expected. Not a real RV or camping spot, but probably great for families on summer break.

We also had to throw out items that could not be cleaned properly and now have to replace them (pillows, shoes, etc). My husband has 23 bites over the course of 2 nights. They burn and itch very badly. I truly hope this was a hiccup for them and they go through correct methods of having the cabin treated properly. UPDATE: A recount of the bites - my husband has 31 bites so far. The remediation of all of our items is exhausting. All the blankets, clothing, suit cases, all the other items we used in the cabin needs to be cleaned. We had to throw out our shoes because they shrunk in the dryer. Spent $$$ replacing shoes for a family for 4. Pillows are not cheap to replace either. I bought a new corset at the renfest this weekend that I'm hoping doesn't get ruined when it goes through the dryer. That too was expensive. So if you're looking to have to spend a bunch of extra money to replace items you didn't want to replace in the first place - I recommend staying here.
