Antietam Creek Campsite

Campsite 18 is nice, because it has a good path down to the river if you like to fish (which we do). However, it's about as far from the privies as you can be (unless you're at 19 or 20, then you're further away). When it's as cold as it was when we were there, that trip to the privies can be long... and cold.

Otherwise, we had a great visit. Literally no one else was there (we were actually the only occupied campsite), so it was quiet (except for the raccoons all night) and the privies remained fully stocked with TP. A raccoon did come into our campsite while we were chilling at the fire pit, but the BearVault was too much for them. When they came back in the middle of the night for the trash, they still got nothing.

Beautiful for a fall campout once the leaves are down and you can see the river. Only improvement I would ask for would be to make the well water drinkable.

Lovely spot by the Potomac. Only question was would the pump actually produce water had we needed it and I gave up after many pumps. Other than that, we quite enjoyed the campsite and location.

Beautiful park and camping. Searched for firewood by riding around the local area without success. Ended up scavenging some wood from park wooded area but there wasn’t much. Park restrooms were gross need more frequent cleaning service. Restrooms are heavily used by trail users.

Nice campsite, close to parking. Fire pit was great but would have been nice to have firewood options nearby. Also could be helpful to have campsite numbers closer to the road to find it easier after dark.

We had a good time. Site 5 could use a little better path to the river but everything was good.
