Cherry Hill Park

Resort-Style Comfort Just Outside the City

Cherry Hill Park is a laid-back, family-owned campground offering resort-style amenities just 12 miles from downtown Washington, DC. Located in College Park, MD, it’s a unique blend of outdoor charm and modern comfort, perfect for travelers who like a little breathing room after a big night out. Guests enjoy well-equipped cabins and cottages with full kitchens, private patios, Wi-Fi, and even flat-screen TVs.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the free shuttle service to the nearby Metro, making it easy to get to shows in DC without the hassle of parking. After a loud night out, the quiet, tree-filled setting makes for a peaceful recovery. The flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout times give you room to breathe, and the on-site hot tub and sauna are perfect for unwinding after dancing all night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space and fun amenities
• Solo travelers hitting a bucket-list show
• Couples making a cozy, weekend getaway out of a concert
• Fans who prefer a quieter, more natural recovery spot
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

The on-site American restaurant and coffee shop offer easy meals and caffeine fixes without leaving the park. There’s also a mini-market for snacks and essentials, and each unit has a fully equipped kitchen—ideal for late-night bites after a show. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the flexibility of having your own kitchen makes up for it. Breakfast is available on-site or just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

While Cherry Hill itself is more about relaxing than raging, you’re just a short ride from the live music scene and bars of Washington, DC. The campground’s calm atmosphere and peaceful evenings are a welcome contrast to the high energy of a concert night. If you're up for more, the Metro can whisk you to late-night lounges and clubs downtown.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness and spacious layouts of the cabins, as well as the friendly staff and resort-style amenities like the pool and hot tub. Many praise the easy Metro access for getting into DC hassle-free. Families and groups especially love the outdoor space and activities.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the location feels more like a campground than a traditional hotel, which might not be for everyone. If you're expecting a downtown high-rise, this is more of a home-away-from-home with nature vibes. Also, while it's close to the city, you'll need to plan a bit of extra time for the shuttle or Metro into DC.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a relaxed, resort-style base near DC’s concert venues with plenty of space to recharge, Cherry Hill Park is a hidden gem.
