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.

Pack light or bring a cart. Parking is on the side of the road and there are only 2 paths across the small deep creek between parking and all sites . Mosquitoes are heavy and running water is no where . That being said a nice large site with a river path and plenty of space for anyone’s gear.

Nice flat tent site with fire ring, charcoal grill, and picnic table. Shaded but not enough trees for hammocks. Site #4 short walk to privy and car parking. Water marked not potable so we filtered, I think this is only so someone can't sue. Has a path to the river but not enough space and too steep for kayak or canoe access. Short walk to river access downstream.
I would recommend as an overnight stop if you are car camping, backpacking or bicycling on the C&O canal towpath, or canoeing kayaking down the Antietam or Potomac.
