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.

November 27, 2025 Stayed at: 020, Loop: Antietam Creek Campsite
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.

This area is nice. There are a couple semi private sites, but for the most part, they are all pretty open to eachother. The vaults are usually clean (as clean as you can get a vault anyway). All sites are fairly lose to the rive, so keep that in mind when bringing littles.
There is plenty near by in the way of food/restaurants. There is a brewery about 15 min down the road worth a stop.
All the historical sites are also close and easily accessible.
BRING BIKES. This is right on the B&O trail. Its a great walking and biking trail.
Harper's Ferry is also within 15 or 20 min. There are lots of places to rent tubes and ride the river.

It was cold, but if you have the proper gear it is serene, and a great campground. You cannot drive your car in but I did not find it much of a hassle. Would camp here again.

Unfortunately, there were squatters on my site when I arrived. Explained to them that I had the spot reserved and I had to leave for an hour or so while they moved. When I returned, they had simply moved down one spot when another family arrived and said they needed to move again. I talked with the camp host. They apologized and eventually took care of it.
