December 20, 2020 Stayed at: 004, Loop: Antietam Creek Campsite
No showers, no running water. Really scenic site right between the Potomac and the C & O Canal Towpath. We brought bicycles and rode to Harper's Ferry about 10 mi away. Shepherdstown is close by and is very quaint with nice places to eat and to explore. Great experience.

Plenty of spots to camp, and composting bathrooms are open into November. Walk or bike along the C&O Canal during the day. You will have to walk your gear to your campsite from the road, as parking is on the shoulder of Canal Road. A small wagon can help, but isn't necessary. Its a great campsite, and you'll have a great time!

I really enjoyed my stay at Antietam Creek. I didn't realize that you had to park your car on the road and then cross a bridge and walk along the canal to get to my campsite. I would still recommend camping here.
