Great place overall, however not as quiet at night as I thought it would be. A lot more cars were passing by and the camp was close to the road

This is a beautiful campsite right by river. We had a good time. It was peaceful and there weren’t many bugs around (only spiders... big big spiders). If you are a hiker or biker, be aware that the nearest store is 4 miles away so don’t count on buying firewood or other supplies from a local store. The bathrooms were also clean.

It’s a narrow row campground that doesn’t have any foliage to separate each campsite. That means if you want any privacy your not gonna get it.... I had neighbors walking around flashing LED flashlights on my site until almost midnight.
If your looking for a casual experience it’s good. Clean camp sites and they have nice fire pits/grilling stations. It wasn’t what I was looking for when I go camping....

This was a great experience! I was in spot 13 which had a lot of sunlight and little tree coverage. I'd recommend spot 12 for anyone that's booking as it had great canopy coverage for shade and hammocks as well as a carved stump to use as a chair (pretty cool). A couple of things to take note of:
--Spots 12,13,14 are right by the water pump which is functional (with a handle, despite the warning in the description) so it's pretty loud and squeaky when people use it throughout the day and sometimes night.
--You really are right along the C&O hiking path so you'll hear people riding/walking by talking and/or playing music throughout the day. You get used to it but don't expect privacy... people will be commenting on your campsite.
--It seems like most sites do have a cut in the tree line so that you can theoretically can right to the Potomac. The access at 13 is an extremely steep hill that you can't easily walk down or come back up. So keep in mind that you'll either need to dress accordingly to cut through the bushes, try to access it from another campsite, or use one of the public access areas.
--There was no COVID distancing between campsites. I had campers on both sides of me all weekend so the note about spacing wasn't accurate.
Overall I loved it! I had a great time kayaking, enjoying the fire, and sitting around being lazy. Will definitely come back to this one to explore the battlefield.

Campsite was nice - well Maintained and the proximity to the river was great. River was clear and several places along the bank from which to fish.
However there was lots of poison ivy - both of my kids got rashes and they never went into the woods other than the path to the river.
