We live close to Cherry Hill and drove past it every so often. We sold our home and lived here in our 30ft Class C for almost 90 days (9/14-12/14) while our new home was being built. We were so impressed with the campground and sorry we hadn't visited before (but my grandkids want to go back!) This is a large park, with various sections which offer different types of surroundings. In general, sites are not huge, but big enough and have a picnic table with gravel pad and some with nice trees, others sunnier. There are some large pull throughs. The bathhouses are large and clean. Ample trash cans all around. There are two pools, a cafe, an outdoor movie theater, very small gym area, nice mini golf, a camp store, a dog run, a walking trail around the park perimeter, park models & cabins, and a conference center (home to wedding receptions during the time we were there), One pool was open as long as the weather was 70 degrees- into October- with lifeguard. The landscaping is very nice with planted annuals. And this coming season, a new conference area will be open with a water park with fountains and sprays for the kiddies. The camp hosts scouting groups in several areas. Now, the best part of this campground is that it is very close to Washington DC and we saw license plates from all over the US and some outside. Many retirees and full timers during the fall were visiting a few days and taking advantage of the tours RUN RIGHT FROM THE CAMPGROUND into DC- or the bus service to the metro station, or the bus just dropping you off in DC. Not many places you can enjoy this! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even though there is one negative and you must be aware of it: the park sits right next to the Washington DC Beltway, Interstate 495, and the noise is VERY loud. With the air conditioner on or using some white noise in our sleeping quarters, it was acceptable. But each morning at 5am as the traffic ramped up, it woke me up. Now, I needed to get up at that time to get to work, but as a vacationer... not sure it would be the best. The park is open year round and offers heated water bibs in some areas. We did freeze up one day and the worker was around soon to thaw us out. Our cell phone coverage was excellent. We watched cable and over the air TV- but didn't get some of the big sports games- had to go into the lounge in the conference center. Our internet connection was slow until about Nov. 1. Then the speed picked up considerably when the park thinned out. Not sure how it would be in the summer high season. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby, and also University of Maryland. You can't beat the location!
