What Guests Are Saying
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.

Great spot to set off for group hiking. Very well maintained, spacious private sites, plenty of parking. Note most sites are on quite a slope and some sites are quite distant from the parking lot/bathroom/dumpsters. Water is a 6 minute drive to the visitor center.

The campsites (we were in Rohrbach site nos. 2, 8, 9 and 10, which were in good shape, and we enjoyed the campout and the chance to hike on the battlefield.
However, as I noted in a phone call to the Antietam Visitors' Center on Monday, Oct. 2, we did encounter a ground hornet nest right next to the tables/campfire area of Site 10 (on the north side, almost at the eastern end, right next to the wood beam enclosing the table area. We did not know about it, and one of the scouts must have accidentally kicked into it, and some of the scouts were stung. No one was injured , but it could have been a major problem, if any had an allergy. I strongly suggest warning groups reserving Site 10 about this ground hive, and that the NPS consider taking steps to remove the ground hive problem.

The facility was perfect. The only hardship was the lack of water but as we knew there would be none before hand we came prepared.
Even the bathroom was not terrible for an primitive campsite. I would highly recommend any troops interested in having their scouts disconnect come here... because there is no wifi signal or power so they scouts will eventually have no phones :)

Solid group campsite. No water available on site, but water was available at visitor center during their open hours. Sites are roomy, and there was lots of cut and seasoned firewood available. Very limited cell signal.

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.

Registration process was simple and we appreciated that they provide firewood.
