Camping in District Of Columbia

At only 68 square miles, you won’t find much camping in “The District”. That said, the National Park Service does maintain several national parks including National Mall And Memorial Parks, Rock Creek Park, and President’s Park. Visitors to D.C. enjoy the area’s history, monuments, memorials, cultural attractions, green spaces, and cherry blossoms. Pack a comfortable pair of shoes so you can spend your days exploring these unique places.
