Very nice location and very clean vaults. My complaint is about previous campers. My site #5 had trash in the fire ring and scattered about. The site next to me #4 was loaded with trash my entire stay. I had to tell people they couldn't camp below my site and they left. I witnessed a group of 12 to 14 occupy a single campsite one evening. I thought they should have been at the group site. Never saw a Park Ranger in 3 nights during my stay. No one likes to be pestered by Rangers, but a visible presence is assuring. Overall, I would camp here again. Just sad to see that other
campers are so disrespectful.

Not many trees
Nice location right on C and O Canal and near Bill's Tavern (walking distance)
Water pump on site, taste is OK
Mostly grass sites

Reserved campsites 4, 6 and 10 (group campsite across the aqueduct) to support 20 campers, 16 C&O Canal bikers and 4 support drivers. Very nice experience. Minor negatives: campsite pump water had a lot of iodine in it to keep us safe and some late-night activity on the boat ramp. Will definitely camp here again.

Great campground. Easy access, very clean, there's a river to swim in, and a fantastic bar just outside the entrance. Also love going up to point lookout to cook dinner and relax before heading back to camp. The whole area is filled with some fantastic twisty motorcycle roads. I go there at least once a year.

Great place! Right next to the river and ruins of the c&o canal.

Reserve online!

There is a pub at 3 minutes walk, they have camping supply if you forget something.

Beautiful location. Clean and well maintained grounds. Easy and affordable booking. Great hiking, biking, public hunting and fishing opportunities either right at camp or nearby. The local cafe Oak Barrel had good food, amazing ice cream and cheesecake options! I will be returning next spring.
