We greatly enjoyed a gentle family time--four generations in two sites--ample space between campers but high fun energy in the air. Bikers, hikers, boaters enjoying themselves. We were just chilling this weekend highlighted by my sons playing guitar around the campfire. On other trips, we have canoed on Antietam Creek (taking out at the campground), canoed on the Potomac (also taking out at the campground), biked down to Harpers Ferry for the day and come back to camp, and, one September, picked Paw Paws (a native fruit Jefferson was fascinated by).
I find the aqueduct just southeast of the campground to be fascinating--the kids liked the idea of a swimming pool on top of a bridge to get the canal boats over the creek. On this trip, a few minutes after we broke camp, we were touring the Antietam battlefield. Thanks.

It is quiet and calm area. Not too much mosquitos, Birds and bullfrogs are singing in the early morning and sometimes you can hear the owl. The host Gary is very friendly and the overall sight is good. AT&T has poor signal.

The campground itself was beautiful, our site was awesome. Unfortunately there were a lot of very disrespectful campers and there was no enforcement of rules. The noise was insane. We were kept up all night and woken up at 5 am the morning. It would have been a perfect weekend if not for others inconsideration of the spaces around them. We might not come back here for future trips, just to avoid the people.

While sites are on the river there is a steep bank that makes access difficult. There may be a different way to get to river but I didn’t find one. Keep in mind there are no showers . Also not a drive up kind of place so have to drag stuff a little ways across a bridge. Otherwise a lovely campground. Very serene and peaceful.

The campgrounds were well maintained, spaced out, and not overcrowded.
