October 19, 2020 Stayed at: 005, Loop: Antietam Creek Campsite
Was not aware had to traverse a 10 ft deep ditch to access campsite. Not a big deal when it's dry. But when it's been pouring down rain for 12 hours and packing up a campsite, terrible. And the bathrooms were out of toilet paper. Fortunately, I always bring my own. Nice area though.

I am not a believer in ghosts, but this place might be haunted. My wife and I stayed here during our honeymoon, and we both heard marching footsteps at several times during the night. There was no one else camping at the time. It is ghostly and eeriely beautiful here, the fog covers the ground in the morning and the creek moves very slowly and quietly. Be warned that many, many men fought and died not 100 yards from the campsites. We will definitely be back.
