June 5, 2023 Stayed at: 020, Loop: Antietam Creek Campsite
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

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.

Lots of fun and a decent amount of space per area. Sound travels between campsites. Lots of bikers go through and seem pretty nice. It was a clean space, but the bathroom was pretty knarly at the end of the weekend. Would definitely go back at some point.

The campground was quite empty this time (July 18-20). Only a couple other sites occupied. There was no campground host, which ended up being just fine. Port-o-Johns were clean, the campground was quiet, pump handles were on for water...really no complaints. My only request would be a way to obtain firewood those who can't bring their own (traveling by bicycle, for example). I love being able to make a reservation at this campground vs. the hiker-biker sites along the trail.

Beautiful campground. The biggest complaint is that by Sunday morning there were no trash/recycling bags left.
