Day 15 of our 2025 RVing Adventure with Historical & Musical Interludes

It was a day of a few errands and downtime.

Milt & Gaby had a nail in their tow car tire. So, he took it off and a trip to Costco was made. Sheryl, Gaby & I shopped while Milton waited for the tire.

Being in our Motorhomes, we purchased things and split them up! Most exciting purchase was Dot pretzels in individual packages!

That job was done by noon and we spent a leisurely afternoon at the campground! 

Let me tell you about this family-owned and operated campground. It has been in the Gurevich family for 5 generations. They love hosting guests from all across America, from all over the world, and from just down the road in their home state of Maryland. 

Their story begins back in 1921, when Jacob and Rose Gurevich moved out to the country from Washington, DC. They bought a plot of land, started Cherry Hill Poultry Farm, and set up a general store right by the road. When travelers came through, Rose allowed them to set up camp behind the store, and the Gurevich family entered the industry of hospitality for the first time.

After World War II, the nation experienced a housing crisis. They became Cherry Hill Trailer Park, then Cherry Hill Mobile Home Village, housing many GIs and young families. 

As the interstate highway system grew, Americans began to travel for leisure, and many needed a place to stay while visiting Washington, DC. Cherry Hill Campcity was born, and they became a business that catered to travelers and tourists for the first time.

In the 1980s, Rose and Jacob's grandson Norman Gurevich and his wife,  Joan, had a vision for a new kind of campground: a top-tier destination park that offered premium amenities, extensive services, full hook-ups, and room for even the biggest RVs. They built Cherry Hill Park from scratch, moving one mile down the road from our original location. 

2 generations later, they are cemented into the community, and they are still focused on continuing to grow and change to accommodate the needs of our guests. In 2015, they completed another major renovation, adding a splash park, premium log cabins, 18-hole mini golf, a new bathhouse, a gym, an outdoor pavilion, new laundry facilities, and group tenting sites. In 2017, they won their third Campground of the Year award from ARVC (also 2007 & 2002). 

They are a big wedding venue. I certainly can see why!

Through all of the changes, they've stayed rooted in the same values we held as a family of farmers. They're proud to work hard and to put smiles on the faces of those they serve. They focus each day on providing their guests with the best hospitality and tourism options that DC, has to offer. 

We had a HUGE downpour in the late afternoon. The rain could not drive the ladies inside! But, it did force us to enjoy our Mac & Cheese and veggie meal inside Gary & Sheryl's rig! I have to say.... our best purchase at Costco may have been the Mac & Cheese!
