About Oak Ridge Campground

Oak Ridge Campground is a 100-site, wooded campground located in Prince William Forest Park, 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Washington, DC. The park's land was set aside during the Great Depression, and in 1935 the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began restoring the previously over-farmed acreage, converting it to recreational lands for public use. The CCC built trails, dams and cabins, making the park a wonderful place for recreation and relaxation. Large group camping is not permitted at Oak Ridge Campground. Please read the need to know section for additional information.

Love this campground, especially since it’s close to home and great for a quick trip. Loop A is a little more open and then the vegetation is thicker in Loop C and the walk back sites are great for renting. There really aren’t any bad sites in the campground but don’t bring a big RV or trailer. The bathrooms are clean and modern and Loop B has showers. All sites have a fire ring/grill combo and a lantern post. Don’t expect there to always be a host on duty. I’ve scored free firewood before but it’s locked up and access to it requires finding a host. Best to bring your own wood with you. In fact, make sure you have everything you need. The 7-11 on the other side of Route 1 is a bit of a haul and could be an hour round trip during rush hour. The only other amenity besides the sometimes-accessible firewood is a broken soda machine but why it’s called “roughing it.”

I noticed the last couple of times that the rangers aren’t patrolling as frequently, at least not in the evenings. Maybe they don’t have as much staff outside the summer months. The only time I’ve seen them driving around recently was on my previous visit at 8am (which was great because I needed a jump start lol). On this visit, a lot group of kids came into a site two down from ours (C loop, so not super close) right at dusk and proceeded to blast music and talk loudly. This continued for a couple of hours - I could even hear them halfway to the B loop showers and I felt bad for the young couple with kids right on the other side of them. Noise really travels at night. Miraculously, they went silent a little before the start of quiet hours at 10:00 so that’s when they probably passed out. Never did see a ranger and there was no camp host on duty.

Overall, this is a nice campground. Expect it to be busy on weekends.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
