It's a great spot for those wishing not to lug their gear far, and the privacy is better than most other sites.

Perfect for car camping. $20 was a little steep for no running water. Only one site had a river view.

Very crowded/populated; I didn’t love that it wasn’t drive up and camp, we had to bring our things to the campsite back and forth. Clean site. Wish there was at least one more bathroom. Potomac river was beautiful.

Fantastic campsite. Nestled between the C&O and the Potomac, off a quiet country road, and within walking distance of Shepherdstown and biking distance of Harper’s Ferry. Simple campsites and a pleasant camping experience. Highly recommend.

This was my first time using this app and campsite. Overall the experience was wonderful. It was booked last minute as we were driving to the location. The sites host was very wonderful to deal with. The location is in a nice secluded area and the creek is down a steep embankment. Well worth the trip!

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.
