No showers, no running water. Really scenic site right between the Potomac and the C & O Canal Towpath. We brought bicycles and rode to Harper's Ferry about 10 mi away. Shepherdstown is close by and is very quaint with nice places to eat and to explore. Great experience.

Awesome campsite! (site 1) Very large campgrounds. Don't count on the fire pit grill grating (some are busted), but the barbeque stands are solid. Be aware that it is close to a hunting grounds so you may be awoken early in the morning by loud shooting. The train can also be heard but wasn't that loud. Some of the camp sites are bright at night due to a street lap across the road shining into them (on the higher number side of the bathroom). No trash cans, as in the entire C&O canal park, so there was a lot of litter when we arrived. Be sure to pack out your trash!
