After all these glowing recommedatios for Cherry Hill Park in MD and then we decided that will be the place we go. Today I called them to make a reservation for September and they tell me that can't assign a spot for us until we get there!!WHAT???? I can request a spot near this place or that place or whatever but I will get what they have when I check in. Soooo....I went to the web site to take a look at the park map. ....I'm confused. We just made great reservations for James Island in SC without this sort of problem. Anybody got any suggestions?

Not far from Cherry Hill is a Federal park (Greenbelt) on US193 near the intersection of I495(DC Beltway and BW Parkway. With or without a Golden Age Pass it is also inexpensive. It does have potable water and a dump station. I think it has electric. 2-3 miles to DC Subway. NPS website has map and more info. I'm pretty sure you can reserve a spot at least 6 months ahead.
