    Default DC Area

    Any ideas on parking for a few nights around DC ? I know Cherry Hill is there but would like to be closer in if possible - no hook-ups required….

    Is there a marshaling yard or any kind of truck parking??

    Thanks

    This the same dilemma we had last year in DC. We ended up staying at Cherry Hill. That said, I saw very few places close in that I thought would have been suitable to dry camp. Good luck.

    It's a shame that there aren't more or better choices nearer to DC. Unfortunately, real estate is simply too expensive. There are 2 county parks that are fairly close you might want to try. Bull Run and Pohick Bay both have a few sites big enough for a bus, http://www.nvrpa.org/park/main_site/content/NVRPA_Parks

    I lived in Northern VA for over 20 years and never have visited this park. It may or may not be worth looking at: http://www.nps.gov/gree/index.htm I do know that the surrounding area had some questionable neighborhoods.

    Jamie, We looked a while back and as good as Corey has been finding convention centers and expo halls etc., we came to the conclusion that Cherry Hill is pretty much it.

    Found a great place 2 miles south of Old Town Alexandria - Manager was extremely cordial - he would not let me pay for a room - just asked me to tip the girls at the front desk…………...

    You must be pretty close to Mango Mikes business.

    I know the area well. Old town is a great place for dinner and drinks.

    I've long thought hotels should have a five to ten RV parking spots in back with the 50amp and water. Rent them out.
