Excellent primitive camping experience. Very rustic. The C&O Towpath is very busy, so plan accordingly. Lots of eyes on your campsite 24 hours a day, so this adds a feeling of security to be in the company of many like-minded individuals. Expect foot traffic and site occupancy to increase exponentially on weekends, and make sure to check the local calendars of events for activities that could add additional complications. Easily accessible to Shepherdstown, WVA just a couple of minutes east for any modern needs. All told, I could not ask for better arrangements than Antietam Creek Campground. I will definitely return regularly.

Our usual campsite spot was all that we have come to enjoy.
The only difference being that the vegetation overgrowing the steep path down to the river's edge had gone wild.
After some careful pruning, the descent was its usual rooty, steep slope.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
