This camping area is perfect if you have a tent or hammock, are driving in, and want a place that is near Antietam Battlefield or any of the other attractions around the area. Fire rings and picnic tables are provided. The Camp Host is extremely helpful both with camping and with local area knowledge.

Site host was very friendly without being intrusive - a hard balance to strike. Pit toilets well maintained, but be sure to bring your own hand sanitizer. Between other campsites and many people using the trail, don't expect seclusion. But folks were friendly and doing their own thing. It's a beautiful location and we had a great time. If you just want to get away and relax without being too far away from civilization, this is a good spot.
