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.

Number of accommodations: 10

Great camping location for Scouts when hiking the Antietam Battlefield. Only downside is there is no water available, but I knew this going in, so it wasn't an issue.

The campground was in good shape and the boys enjoyed the time spent at Antietam.

Having a pile of firewood was also a plus!

The site was well maintained with an ample supply of firewood ready. My only suggestion would be to possibly dig out the fire ring a little, as it was close to the brim with leftovers. Other than that, Troop 279 had a great time and would definitely come again!

It was so easy to get set up and camp. There was a lot of open space, the bathrooms were cleaned, and the firewood was well stocked. The only issue we had was that we didn't know which site we were on when we set up camp. There are no markers for where each camp site is so we ended up on another group's site. It turned out okay in the end, but some clear markers to show which site is which would be helpful. The map was a bit confusing.

Need better access to the lower sites a parking area down near site 9 and 10 would help

Great campsites with nice latrine facilities. The only complaints would be lugging all of the gear up and down the hill to the campsite from the parking area.
