Baltimore Medical Trip

[thegooftroopfla 18]

Our next trip for aour medical journey begins. We have to travel to Baltimore for my son to have a procedure. We will be there for a week or two. At the least. My son will be admitted for a portion of the first week. We are wondering who has any information on campgrounds close to Johns Hopkins for a motorhome.
At least this time we aren't driving to boston in the winter. Thanks for the info in advanced everyone.you guys were such a big help last time.

There is a KOA in Millersville. Right off 97 which would give you easy access to 695. We used to live nearby and checked the campground out once. It was actually pretty nice. I had considered staying there next week when we go visit my sister in Columbia.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is much around that area.

 

There is the Washington, DC Capital KOA,

 

Then up near Abingdon (Edgewood), there is the Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina

Are you military?  Fort Meade is in the Balt/DC area.

 

I can't think of anything else.

 

Good luck with your boy's procedure.

The Washington, DC KOA is the one I was referring to. The actual location is Millersville on the map. It is really closer to Baltimore than DC.

Yvonne, about how far from Columbia is it?

 

That's one of my work spots, wouldn't mind camping and working if I could :)

There is not going to be anythign realy close to the city but there is Patapsco Valley State park. The site lists electricity but does not reference water / sewar.

Maybe 30 minutes. I'll check for you next week.

You would take 97 to 32 and that would take you right into Columbia. Could be shorter depending on which side of Columbia you are going to.

Good luck. I hope everything goes well.

Correction to my directions. You would not even have to get on 97.

I live in Abingdon and it takes us about 30-45 minutes to get downtown when there is no traffic, it would be 95 South into the city.  I haven't seen the rv park at Bar Harbor, but it is next to a protected estuary, so it should be quiet.

Wishes for safe travels and a successful procedure.

I found this online:

"My Granddaughter is an employee of Johns Hopkins and when visiting we stayed at Patspaco Valley State Park which is located only a couple of miles from the subway station which takes you right to the front door of the hospital. Just something to consider. There is free parking in the parking garage at the terminal."

My friend Joyce's daughter-in-law is familiar with the Johns Hopkins area. She says it is a very bad area. "If your RV won't fit in the parking garage and you leave it on the street, it won't be there when you wan to leave".

Best of luck.

I like Cherry Hill RV Park, which is around 15 miles south of Columbia.  It is right near the junction of I-95 and the 495 beltway on the north side of DC.  Nice location, nice campground with good amenities, and there are grocery stores and restaurants very close by.  

 

Probably too far from Johns Hopkins to help thegooftroopfla, but might work for you, Carol.

Here is the review for the Bar Harbor park http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/Maryland/Abingdon.html

[momof3kids-Yvonne 596]

I asked a friend from high school who is still in the area. She said there is really not anything right near Hopkins. She has heard great things about Ramblin Pines in Woodbine. She has friends who fulltime. They stayed there for a month and were very pleased.

Just remember 95 North and South bound can be a pain in the morning and evening. 15 miles could end up feeling like an eternity.

I enjoy going back for visits, but no way no how could you get me to live there again. Way too congested for me.

Tell me about it.  i'm there every 3 weeks lately.  I seem to remember Carol working off hours, so thought maybe it would work.  Plus, Cherry Hill road runs right into Columbia Pike so maybe she could avoid 95 altogether.

Yeah, if I can pull this together, usually I go in at 7 and get to leave at ???? (definitely not 5)

[momof3kids-Yvonne 596]

The link for Rambling Pines:

http://ramblinpinescampground.com/

It is not far off of 70. You would take that to 695 and then to 95 to get to the Hospital. Probably looking at about a 45 minute drive.

At that hour, all the government workers are asleep.  LOL.  And the early ones that start at 7 are heading south toward DC and you'd be heading north.  At least in theory....but like Yvonne said, 95 can be horrible.  And it can be horrible at any hour.

Will you have a normal car with you? Driving an RV across Baltimore is going to be very nerve racking.

If you stay on the north side of Balt.( Rambling Pines or Bar Harbor) there is a lot of construction in the area on 95, also watch your speed in the  construction zones they have speed cameras set up and will mail you a nice little present to your home.

Just wanted to let you know y'all are and have been in my daily prayers.
