A cabin rental within easy reach of the White House? Yes, it’s possible!.
Sightseeing in the nation’s capital doesn’t have to mean checking into a pricey hotel or staying right in the heart of the city—there are also great options for cabin rentals within a short drive of Washington, DC. Urban campers will need to leave the D.C. area—there’s no camping in the capital itself—but hop over to Maryland, Virginia, or West Virginia, and you’ll find a selection of camper cabins and private vacation rentals to choose from. Perhaps rent a cozy log cabin in the woods, a fully furnished family cottage, or a lakeside cabin with a fire pit where you can relax after a busy day exploring Capitol Hill and the Smithsonian Museums. The closest campground to DC lies on the Maryland side, where you’ll find cabins and glamping pods, and there are also cabins available at Shenandoah River State Park, Shenandoah National Park, and Gambrill State Park.
