Antietam Creek Campsite

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

Poison ivy is surrounded by the campsite. It wasn't fun to keep an eye on every time we turn. The paths to the river are full of poison ivy. The campsite has a nice campfire pit and the picnic table is very sturdy. It is a private site and that is a bonus. No trees to hang the hammocks because of poison ivy. Nothing to hang. Water pump is not very far. Potty johns are a bit further so if need to go to the bathroom. Be sure to not hold in. The bathroom is nasty. It is not clean. Potty John is much better.

We really enjoyed this campsite. Campsites 8 and 9 are closest to the footbridge to carry gear in/out since you can’t park at the site itself. It’s maybe a 1-2 walk to your car. Fire pit and charcoal grill at each site.

Downsides are no water at the campground and only bathroom was a portable. There was increased noise from the road and air traffic above but nothing outrageous. Lots of dogs at the campground and one barked most of the night. Not a negative on the site itself but something to be aware of. Our site had leftover trash (some plastic cups in the fire pit and a plastic grocery bag in the bushes).

Town of Sharpsburg is very close. We got ice cream at Nutter’s (there was a line wrapped around the corner and it was worth it). If you’re into history, Antietam Battlefield is 15 mins away and has much to explore.

Overall a very pleasant one night stay!

The pot-a-johns and the outhouses were not well maintained. Make sure to bring your own TP. The water point was a great distance from the sites the lower numbered sites. A short drive from the battlefield, overall, a great location.

We had site 9, close to the bridge and not far from the toilets. Except for some road noise, this is a perfect place to camp. So many birds and animals, peaceful river. Definitely recommend!
