Here's just a sampling of many campgrounds within a couple of hours' drive of Washington.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]Most offer picnic tables, grills, heated bathrooms, flush toilets and showers, and many are handicapped-accessible. Some have camp stores, and most allow pets on leashes. Most have limits on the number of tents and people per site; a "mixed" site means tents and RVs are allowed. For most campgrounds, off-season is first-come, first-served. Arrive early in the day to get the best sites, and call ahead with any questions.
