If you’re down for a little history (and maybe a little mystery) Cedarville State Forest will definitely dazzle.

Legend claims that there is a Native American burial ground within the forest... but it has yet to be found. Spooky! Equestrian, family and youth group campsites are available for your overnight stay. 19.5 miles of horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking trails weave through the forest. They pass a number of historical features, including the loblolly pine plantations that were planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, by a charcoal kiln, and through farm areas whose springs and streams were used to make moonshine!

Escape to Triple A Acres, a peaceful private campground nestled within 20+ acres of mature hardwood forest just outside Washington, DC. The property is dedicated to non-motorized recreation, offering a quiet retreat for campers looking to unwind in nature while still being close to modern conveniences. While the setting feels secluded, you’re conveniently located just 1 mile from the Indian Head Rail Trail, making this a great stop for cyclists, hikers, and trail explorers. Great for cyclists riding the Indian Head Rail Trail who want a quiet overnight stop. Fast food and grocery stores are only 2.5 miles away, and the Marshall Hall boat launch on the Potomac River is about a 10-minute drive. Access is simple via a recycled asphalt paved road leading to an approximately 40' × 60' paved camping and parking area suitable for tents, vans, or smaller RVs. The entrance driveway is somewhat steep, but AWD or vehicles with traction control generally have no issues. A 16' × 24' glamping pad is currently in development for future upgraded camping experiences. Guests can explore a 0.5-mile nature trail winding through the forest, where many interior woodland species thrive in this protected setting. Adventurous explorers may also discover an intermittent stream that feeds into the Potomac River watershed. Great for: • Rail trail cyclists looking for a quiet overnight stop • Campers wanting a secluded forest escape near Washington, DC • Nature lovers interested in wildlife, hiking, and birdwatching • Travelers who want privacy while staying close to food and supplies Relax beneath the forest canopy, listen to the wind through the trees, and enjoy a quiet woodland retreat just minutes from the DMV. Come experience the tranquility of Triple A Acres.
