The grass needed cut badly and there where huge pot holes on the road, my van drug going through one. The toilets aren't cleaned on the weekend or holiday and they're was fall matter all over the one toilet.

Myself and my stepfather booked side by side campsites for our families Friday - Sunday. When we got there, the sites were marked although not very clearly. Someone was staying in one of our campsites. We politely asked them to move and showed them our reservation and confirmed he was in our site. He obviously hadn’t booked a site. The conversation ended with my wife and our family having to share our campsite with my parents who brought their RV because the person in the campsite we had clearly booked would not leave. There was no ranger at all anywhere at anytime. Also, some idiots revved their boats in the water at 5AM down at the boat ramp for several minutes. Another camper pulled into the adjacent spot of us and asked if our tent was on their booked site to which we replied no. Someone else who had clearly not paid and booked a spot was staying in their site. It’s the Wild West at these places. They are beautiful places but it’s a free for all and there is no one to enforce anything. I’m honestly surprised we had at least one of our campsites based on how many people it seemed didn’t reserve and pay for their spot. On a positive note, we were able to paddle board quite a bit and saw a bald eagle on the river while doing so. It was a great place but it needs someone to enforce the rules. And no firewood anywhere and alcohol is not allowed. Come on, an adult should be able to enjoy a beer. I can say I won’t go back but we had a good time.

Since I stayed here the last time quite a few years ago, this location has become a main access point to the Potomac. I was expecting a serene stay as I remembered, but it ended up being quite an active spot. Being a social person, I adapted and ended up having a total blast swimming and fishing with the locals. If you dont mind a little activity during your camping adventure, it is a great spot. Otherwise, booking a primitive campsite inside green ridge may be a better option.

We camped at 15 mile Creek and enjoyed the site very much. It was mid-week which helped with privacy and large gatherings. The only down fall was the litter left behind by the previous campers. Bill's place is outstanding one of the best Md crab soups We've ever had. Hope to return in the fall

Nice little camp ground. Great views- scenery. We had the group site which was perfect. Other 9 sites pretty close together. Being the 4th, with all the public down there I wish they had attended to the 2 bathrooms. Group site has it's own portable.
