Campsite 9/10
The Antietam Creekside Campsite is a great place to camp. Unfortunately, our visit coincided with a week of inclement weather, forcing us to book an Airbnb for the first two nights. Once we settled into our campsite for the third and fourth nights, we faced the challenge of rain and mud.
One particular issue we encountered was excessive noise from campsite 8. Kids were yelling and crying throughout the night, and someone was hacking wood with an axe late at night, which was quite disruptive.
On the other side of things, we did have diverse groups of hikers and bikers along the path during the weekend passing through. This is to be expected, as the area is popular for outdoor activities more so during the weekends.
On the fourth night, we had the campsite to ourselves, possibly due to the weather conditions. I would highly recommend staying again during better weather conditions during the weekdays.

Excellent campground for bike riding on the C&O Canal or touring Antietam Battlefield.

There's a good buffer between 18 and 19. If you have a loud group at 17 though, you will suffer. I had a loud group at 17 who exceeded capacity for their site (and they'd also reserved 16, and exceeded that site too). This was a Boy Scout group who also infringed on my campsite multiple times. Just not a good experience for a campsite that should be one of the best in the campground, but unfortunately those who choose poorly make you pay for your choice.

Porta-Potty and water pump were a long walk from site, but privacy from adjacent sites was a good tradeoff

Excellent primitive camping experience. Very rustic. The C&O Towpath is very busy, so plan accordingly. Lots of eyes on your campsite 24 hours a day, so this adds a feeling of security to be in the company of many like-minded individuals. Expect foot traffic and site occupancy to increase exponentially on weekends, and make sure to check the local calendars of events for activities that could add additional complications. Easily accessible to Shepherdstown, WVA just a couple of minutes east for any modern needs. All told, I could not ask for better arrangements than Antietam Creek Campground. I will definitely return regularly.
