Excellent camp site. Amazing Potomac views with towpath directly behind. Site 19 was spacious and had flat spot for setting up tent, either on the hill or by the park bench and fire pit. Portopotties and pit toilets were well maintained. Campground hosts were present and helpful. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
