Site was ok. No problems. Not sure why it cost $20 when the free campsites I used the next 8 nights on the C&O were pretty much the same

Camp sites are very close to each other and not very private.
Toilets were clean and camp grounds are in hood condition

When I arrived around 4 p.m., someone was still camping at my reserved site. I politely let the person know that I had that spot reserved for the week. When the person in my spot was not cooperative, I reached out to the Communications Center. A Park Ranger was dispatched promptly. I appreciated that support. It was a private camp spot with a pretty view. This site is mostly sand/dirt though. When it rained, the site was messy. It is a hike to the bathrooms and the water pump. Beware of the poison ivy- off the path leading up to the sites from the parking, in the vegetation at the site, and along the little path leading down to the river from the site. Overall, it was nice get away despite these things.

It was quiet and easily marked. The walk from the parking areas is nominal. The trees ("fully leafed") did obstruct my view of the river but that's expected and there are little cut outs so you walk down to the river edge. It was not as buggy as I imagined it would be. There were two other sites occupied both of which were quiet. Early morning joggers/walkers did start coming by around 630am but they too were quiet. The campsites are about 25 yards from the walking trail so privacy during daylight hours should not be expected. Would definitely camp there again if I found myself in that area again (I was traveling to NY from NC). Pete's Tavern in town has cheap beer and nice people.
