Between the Tow Path and Potomac and great camp site. Interesting to ride the path or just sit and watch folks go by. All quiet....except two nights in a row..around 2 AM until 3, some local with no muffler on his truck driving back and forth on the straight section of road nearby
Had to chuckle as he was either lost going somewhere or coming home..or out making America Great......again.....
Antietam Battlefield a must see.

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 mi 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....

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
