How do I get to DC from VA?
We are (RV) camping in a town about 25 miles south of DC. It is near Mason Neck. Do we drive to DC and park? Or do we drive to a nearby town and take mass transit in? Please help...

It is about $2.00/person on the weekend to take the Springfield Metro stop to the Mall. $3.00 dollars during rush hour.
Convenient - depends on what you are doing.
Most of touristy DC can be accessed through the Metro. A few area are a hike like Georgetown and Adams Morgan but only 10-15 minute walk.

I agree that you could walk and/or metro to most of the places visitors want to see around the mall (Smithsonian, National Gallery, monuments, Capitol, etc)
I dispise driving on I-95 and avoid it whenever I can. An alternative for you coming from Lorton would be to head towards DC in Route 1 North. Park at the Huntington Metro Station and take the subway into town on the Yellow Line. Here's a link with a map:

The Springfield metro is also a good option tho one drawback is the traffic at the Springfield mixing bowl can be a nightmare for the uniniated. The washingtonpost.com link above should get you a map with directions to Springfield too.
