So just because the stated hours are open during the week, doesn't mean there's anything going on and you can't like go behind the fence and there's no digs or anything, or even any place to walk. Sure there's picnic tables if you wanna just sit and eat your lunch with a bunch of corporate office buildings all around but it's definitely not something I would drive 45 minutes to unless you're actively going to one of the scheduled interpretive program.

The road goes in a loop all the way around it and there's a huge open field in the middle. If it rains, beware -- the grounds get awfully muddy! Basically you choose your own adventure... are you going to just drive through and enjoy the abundance of trees? Will you park in the middle and find the trails to walk around? I've sat in the middle near the field and just watched deer and ducks... it's relaxing! If you ever have some time and you're in the mood for nature, drop by this park!

Bathrooms are mediocre because I've definitely seen worse. They do have a caretaker onsite 24/7 who drives around every hour but he can probably just see everyone from his camp setup. I'd only stay here again for a quick nights rest and go. I wouldn't recommend this for a family camping trip and I certainly wouldn't stay a few days. A shady character cooked something in the fire pit near me (unoccupied site) then left. This entire neighborhood seems to have shady humans so if you're scared of the strange occupants that dwell in city life, just steer clear of Greenbelt, MD altogether. It doesn't bother me but I'm also just passing by, not having a family outing here.
