Site 18 is an easy set up from the road, as it is right across the canal. Sadly, this ease also attracts squatters, whether they are set up at the campsite itself, or set up in floaties at the riverbank, necessitating them walking through your campsite. It's also very close to site 17, which is a smaller site and so if the people in 17 are exceeding the maximum number of people and tents, they will leak over into your peace and quiet.
Overall, it was an okay night, made better by the fish I was able to catch the next morning after the waters had settled down from the squatters.

Beautiful campground. The biggest complaint is that by Sunday morning there were no trash/recycling bags left.

The campground was quite empty this time (July 18-20). Only a couple other sites occupied. There was no campground host, which ended up being just fine. Port-o-Johns were clean, the campground was quiet, pump handles were on for water...really no complaints. My only request would be a way to obtain firewood those who can't bring their own (traveling by bicycle, for example). I love being able to make a reservation at this campground vs. the hiker-biker sites along the trail.

Lots of fun and a decent amount of space per area. Sound travels between campsites. Lots of bikers go through and seem pretty nice. It was a clean space, but the bathroom was pretty knarly at the end of the weekend. Would definitely go back at some point.

The bathroom and water pump are in the center of the camp. If you stay at the end of the camp it is a pretty good walk to get to the pump and bathroom.

Site 20 is the last site in the campground and offers near 100% privacy with easy access to the Potomac. It’s a short 100 yard trip to the car. Sites were tidy, lots of history, very cool stop. Be aware it’s buggy and very primitive. Bring your own water and there’s no showers on site so plan accordingly. Convenient to a day trip to Harpers Ferry and Charlestown has all the stores you need for provisions
