We spent 3 nights at the Double G RV Park a couple of years ago. The Deep Creek Lake region of Maryland is one of our favorite places to visit. The beauty of the area combined with some of the entertainment provided is a good balance.
Double G is a small campground within close proximity to the Lake itself. The staff/owners were very friendly and accommodating. The sites were a little small, but well cared for. There were not a lot of amenities at the campground, but at a place like Deep Creek we spent very little time at the campground and most of it sight seeing and kayaking.
When we visited, the owners had a dog that was a great addition and very friendly. He came to hang out with us for hours on end. He would sleep next to our campfire and walk around to see what we were eating. He behaved himself very well and was no problem at all, but was probably one of the things we liked best about our experience there.

We visited the KOA in Woodstock, NH two years ago. It was our first time ever in New Hampshire and we thoroughly enjoyed the White Mountains region and the Woodstock area. We only stayed at this campground for three nights before moving on to another leg of our long trip, but at the end of the vacation, we wished we had stayed here for the entire time.
This KOA has a beautiful location along a picturesque river (you have to hike down to it; about a 15 minute walk). It is close to the highway and the town, but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The facility is clean, neat, and has everything to offer. They excel at having dog sitting with very nice accommodations for your pets.
The pool is small but clean, the store is nice, the restrooms are well taken care of and in good shape, the laundry facility was very nice and they had plenty of activities for the kids.

KOA is the most recognized campground franchise in the United States. The bright yellow signs and employee shirts are a trademark that many camper look for while traveling.
KOA requires a standard of excellence from the campgrounds that bear their name. A KOA campground should have clean and upgraded restroom facilities, many activities and a full range of amenities. KOA has a wide range of programs for campers that frequent their facilities. Their KOA Rewards program (a membership that costs $24 per year) allows campers to earn points and save money by frequenting their campgrounds. This membership is more than worth while if you plan at least 3 trips per year to a KOA.
Cherry Hill Park is the closest campground to Washington DC. The mass transit system of DC even has a bus stop (which connects you to the near by subway) right in the campground. Once we got to the campground, we did not move our vehicle until we left because the mass transit system was by far the easiest way to see everything. The mass transit system uses a card that you must reload with money in order to ride. Cherry Hill will give you one of the cards (then you don’t have to purchase it) for you to load up and use on the system. This is far more convenient than we can actually describe here.
The campground is great. They have a beautiful pool area with a couple pools, game room, snack bar and more. The store is extremely well stocked with both gifts and necessities. The sites are easy to back into and the layout of the campground is easy to navigate. Their restroom facilities are first class.
The campground is obviously close to the urban areas so there are highways and traffic nearby. This makes it convenient if you are sightseeing in DC but noisy if you just want to relax at the campground.
