Close parking with easily accessible campsites. Restrooms were clean. If you want to not have a long walk to the restroom in the middle of the night then choose sites 7,8,9. All sites with great views of the river. Sites were clean with fire/cooking grates in each. Flat areas for tents in every site. Short drive or extended hike to Antietam Battlefield sites and town of Sharpsburg.

Love the sites that are right next to the Potomac and along the C&O Canal. Can't beat the price. Lots to do in the area with Antietam Battlefield and Harper's Ferry nearby. Brought my kayak for the river and took a few hikes on the tow paths. Parking if the sites are full are sometimes a challenge. I usually try to get the sites near the bridge that goes over the canal.

Proximity to Harper’s Ferry is a plus. Not our first time here. Have enjoyed it each time. Portapotties and vault toilets very clean, but we were there around Veterans Day, so probably not much activity there this time of year. It’s a great spot. There was a campground host but we arrived after dark and left early the following morning , so did not have a chance to interact with them.

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.
