Greenbelt Campground serves as an excellent base for exploring Washington, DC, offering a safe and peaceful environment. While bathroom facilities could use some updates and maintenance, the campground overall is well-maintained, with friendly staff and a beautiful natural setting. Many visitors appreciated the quiet atmosphere, convenient location near the Metro, and affordable rates, making it a recommendable spot for camping in the city.

Greenbelt Campground was well maintained. My site (99) was flat and suited for a tent. There was no electricity at the site, but there was water nearby. The restroom/showers were convenient and clean. There are quite a few trails at this park but due to my short stay, I only accessed one - the Dogwood trail. It was what I would consider an easy trail. I had good phone coverage (AT&T).

Close to DC but disappointed that the path to the Metro was closed. Quiet & very green but close to stores and highways.

This is a great location for visiting DC. It's a 5-10 drive to the Greenbelt Metro Station with plenty of parking. The park is a beautiful forest with the campground situated in the middle of it so there isn't much city noise (a few sirens can be heard). The Park Service needs to do a better job of maintaining and cleaning the restroom/shower house. The toilets and sinks were clean but that's all. The floors were dirty, the exterior entrance door didn't latch, old foam was pushed into the air vents at the bottom of the walls, and clusters of daddy long legs were everywhere. It was in the 40's in the morning when we were there and the door stood open with no heat. Thank goodness the water was hot. There was only one shower house in Loop D, not two like indicated on the campground map. Restrooms only in the first building you come to. I've camped in lots of national parks and this was the worst kept restroom building I've seen. I see it as a supervision problem at this park. Get it together NPS! This is a beautiful park and a great asset. Take care of it!
