Stayed here for two nights at the end of September. As a solo traveler, I wanted to stay in the middle of the campground, and site 6 met that requirement. It is right next to the bathroom, which is both a positive and negative. Every once in a while, I'd get a whiff of the bathroom, but the convenience of being close to it late at night definitely outweighed the bad! There is a walking bridge from the parking lot on the road (parallel parking along the side of the road) that comes out between site 7 and 8, so it's not a terrible walk down to site 6 (on the other side of the bathroom). The site is down the hill under two trees with its own campfire ring and picnic table. The bank was grown up when I was there, so that particular site didn't have a view of the river. It is a nice spot, with easy access to a coffee shop and bar about 7 min drive away and with Shepherdstown about 10 min away.

I had a lovely stay in site 16. The site are a good size, quite flat, and seemed well maintained. If I'm out that way, I'll stay there again.

Be aware that if you arrive "late" (after 5PM, even in the summer), site squatting is a BIG problem here. If no one else is in your site, still be prepared to fend off dogs, children and many times other adults who will willfully walk through your site without remorse, especially if your site has direct river access.
The quiet hours are apparently a suggestion. Bring earplugs as needed.
If you are fortunate enough to not have to deal with other campers who don't realize there's a KOA in Hagerstown and another in Harpers Ferry, this is a great campground, where you can fish, hike, bird watch and star gaze. It's best "off peak" and in the middle of the week these days, because the loudness of many of the other campsites scares away a lot of birds, and otherwise disturbs what is an awesome natural area.

Quiet at night, during the day plenty of people pass by but never through sites. Toilets are clean. If you pick up the sites nearest to the canal bridge, the walking distance to the car would be minimal. There were no bugs at the end of August. No poison ivy on site but plenty in the bushes. Dark at night - have lantern ready.

The campground was uncrowded during weekdays. The privy is at one end of the campsite perhaps 1/2 mi away from the furthest campsite. The water is treated, but the iodine taste is noticeable. Take your own water if you can.

Convenient to stay over night and go early morning biking on tow pad.

We left within 20 minutes of arriving because while every other campsite was silent and dark, ours was next to a group that found headlamp tag, impact dodgeball, and screaming in each others faces entertaining.

Clean campsite and toilets.

I had to leave. I got crowded out by a giant party with five enormous tents and at least 16 people, 4 canoes and loud music. There were two other sites like it further down. Camp manager was nowhere to be found. I was just trying to get some biking in and chill in peace. Totally impossible.
