Antietam Creek Campsite offers a clean and well-maintained environment with friendly hosts and stunning views of the Potomac River. Campsites are spacious and equipped with amenities like fire pits and picnic tables, making it a great spot for outdoor activities, including biking and hiking on the nearby trails. While some visitors experienced issues with site reservations and noise from nearby campers, many found the overall experience enjoyable and would return for future visits.

A well-maintained campground that made for a pleasant stop while cycling the C&O. It was a quick, but uphill ride to Sharpsburg and the Antietam National Battlefield Park. For best views of the river, I suggest either sites #7 or #8.

Location was nice, but loud. Road goes right through it, it is in some sort of air oath for airplane noise and also trains passing.
The bathrooms were very gross.
Other than these two factors, it was a great spot.

Amazing! I would recommend Antietam Creek campground to anyone that wants to enjoy the great outdoors. If you like to walk/bike the canal or do a little fishing, this is the place to be. The family and I loved it so much we're planning our next trip. I would advise anyone that has any problems walking to get a campsite in the lower numbers, the walk to the Porta pots is a tad bit long from the higher numbers. Lastly I want to mention the camp host. This gentleman was so nice, he rode by on his bike everyday and waved or stopped in for a quick minute to say hi and let us know if we needed anything to please let him know.
First time impressions are everything, this place did not disappoint.

Your 2021 camp host was kind and extremely helpful. He gets 5 stars! The setting is lovely. Our overall camping experience was limited, thus we rated the campsites with a 3 star, as it is really for the water enthusiasts, runners, or bicyclists. If there had been some area of a defined 'beach' so to say to enjoy the river for those not bringing a boat, this would have enhanced our experience. The tow path trail is an easy stroll for those who like limited directional straight line walking but, the water views are limited. Be prepared to park your car walk your gear to your site. This would definitely be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.
