DON'T camp anywhere around RFK stadium, unless you are with at least
ten other buses. That is not a nice neighborhood; you will routinely
hear gunshots at night. But it is worth checking out if some sort
of quasi-legal, or at least tolerated, camping happens near RFK,
perhaps in the north parking lot. But DO NOT do it alone...
WAL-MART has not arrived in Washington yet, only nibbling around the
suburbs 40 miles out.
Alternatives-I'm afraid I'm not to helpful for closein locations.
There is a (ack!) RV park near Route 1 just north of the Beltway
near College Park. There is a rest area (on both sides) of I-95 about
half way between Baltimore and Washington - that is a sure thing, big
rigs pull in to sleep all the time. I do not think there are any legal
camping grounds inside the Beltway. If you are only coming in for one
show, camp at one of the numerous parks within about a fifty mile
radius. Otherwise, is the usual guerrilla camping scene - just be
careful where you try it...
Once its over, I would be interested to hear what you did find...how
'bout a trip report?
