Louise F Cosca Regional Park

What sets Louise F. Cosca Regional Park Campground apart is its quiet, wooded ambiance just 20 minutes from Washington, D.C., providing campers with serene proximity to urban conveniences, extensive trails, and unique historical sites. With 25 primarily shaded sites suitable for tents and smaller RVs, it offers essential hookups (water standard and electric at select spots), fire pits, and quiet hours for a peaceful camping experience.

The campground is part of a 690-acre park featuring 11 miles of forested hiking and mountain biking trails, two stocked fishing ponds, and a lake with seasonal boat rentals. Nearby, the Clearwater Nature Center offers educational exhibits and outdoor bird enclosures, while historical landmarks like the John Wilkes Booth Escape Route Marker add a cultural layer. Families can also enjoy the playground and tennis courts within the park.

Located in Clinton, Maryland, the campground is accessible via major routes and is just a short drive from the Branch Avenue Metro Station, simplifying trips into downtown D.C. This makes it an appealing base for urban exploration or nature-centric getaways.
