About Rohrbach Group Campground
THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC CAMPGROUND. ONLY SCOUTS AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS MAY USE ROHRBACH CAMPGROUND.Antietam National Battlefield is the site of the bloodiest one day battle in American history. After twelve hours of savage combat on September 17, 1862, 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing. The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North and led to Abraham Lincoln's issuance of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Rohrbach Campground is part of the Antietam National Battlefield. It is a walk-in, primitive camping area available to scouts and civic organization groups only (see "Know Before You Go," below, for individual camping options in the area). The campground has 10 sites, each of which is provided with a fire ring and picnic tables and space to accommodate a maximum of 30 people. The campground is typically open from April through November.

Summary
Rohrbach Group Campground offers spacious, well-maintained sites with clean facilities, making it a favorite for many scout troops. While the distance from parking and the sloped terrain can pose challenges, campers appreciate the space between sites and nearby hiking opportunities. The lack of convenient potable water is noted, but overall, the site provides a pleasant camping experience.

The site was very nice, just make sure you have a wagon or something to transport your equipment from the parking lot to the campsite. It is a long distance with a hill, going in isn't too bad, but packing it out uphill was a little challenging as we had mainly very young scouts. The scout enjoyed the entire trip.

We had a good time. The latrines were nice and stocked. The site was as expected and within walking distance from the battlefield and within 20 minute drive from Walmart if you need anything.

Love that there is space between the campsites and enough space to run around. The boys really enjoyed that. I will note that it is not the flattest camping location, but that just added to the fun and stories. Thanks for having us.
