A few updates to previous post:
We stayed in site E-7. We are in a 31 ft Winnebago MH. The site was about 32” long. It was wide enough for our RV with slides out and our Jeep Liberty parked next to it. The park is divided up into rows, identified A thru F. The back row (F) is the newer updated longer sites. Not all the sites have the fire rings. Our’s didn’t. It was broken asphalt, with gravel filling in some holes. There was a picnic table, but it was pretty ragged. It was pretty level. The centrally located bathhouse was well maintained. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

We stayed in one of their new 80′ backin sites and the first thing we noticed is that their tape measure is very inaccurate. The site was maybe 60′ if we are generous and include backing into the woods as part of the site. The sites are also very un-level sloping downhill front to back by about 2 degrees. To pile it on their rates are also very high for what they provide and the poor site layout; we paid $58 per night with our AAA discount. The pros do make up for the deficiencies though; you have adjacent access to the beautiful Prince William Forest National Park via a gravel road back to the paved roads a few miles in. The highway out front provides easy access to Manassas and Bull Run (20 miles west), Target and grocery store 1 mile east, and Interstate 95 3 miles east. With no traffic you are 45 minutes to downtown DC and the National Mall; with traffic the sky is the limit. The wonderful thing about the new backins are 50 amp hookup and quiet solitude with firepits adjacent to the scenic forest. There are plenty of deadfall branches for burning too. The pool and showers are well kept. During our 10 day stay the park remained at about 25% occupancy, I imagine due to the cons listed above. Being said we would stay here again if in the area.

Prince William Forest RV Campground in Dumfries Virginia offers full and partial hookup RV and tent camping with paved sites surrounded by forest. Upgraded sites include a new area for larger RVs. Convenient location to visit Washington DC and surrounding areas. This is a National Park Service campground managed by concessionaire. Accessed off Dumfries Road guests drive down a wide paved road toward the office. Sites are located on concentric one-way paved roads. Sites are pull thrus and backins with the new large sites on the furthest most loop from the highway (and all of these are backins). The sites are nicely angled for easier access; caution is required as the park is in a heavily forested area and trees + RV walls = a bad day.

Sites have fire rings and picnic tables and none of them are very level. Prince William Forest RV Campground has a small pool, playground and restroom located in the center of the camping area. Not cheap but not overly expensive either guests can access the interior of the National Park via dirt roads for biking or hiking.

Prince William Forest is a National Park and is little known outside the area. The park has miles of scenic and heavily forested trails with pretty creeks all surrounded by urban sprawl. Marine Base Quantico is located south of the park. Located a couple miles from the park is the Marine Corps Heritage Museum which is an excellent museum to visit.
