Campsites are nice and spacious. The location allows for fishing, biking, hiking, canoeing/kayaking and wonderful outdoor activities.

The park does get a bit busy on holiday weekends with lots of boaters and cyclists passing through, which sometimes makes for overflowing bathrooms. I've been to this park for the same holiday weekend for the past three years with no problems. This year, 2019, one of my kayaks was left unattended for 1 hour and was stolen from down by the boat launch. It would be helpful to campers if there was bike stand or something to chain kayaks to so we don't have to walk them back and forth, up and down the hill back to our campsites. I reported it to a ranger (fish & wildlife, don't recall what kind of ranger), but he said it was National Park issue. It was never found.

My extended family and I all get together here every summer for the weekend and we always have a good time.

The campsite is close to the river and that was nice to be able to walk back and forth for fishing. It is very close to the C&O Canal towpath which is great for walking. The campsite overall was kept up pretty well, no trash. But the grass was tall (ok, it was August, it happens!) and the latrines needed to be flushed or cleaned. Depending on the wind, we could smell the chemicals from the latrines in our tent. Not pleasant. I probably won't return to this campsite.

Beautiful place to camp, and fish. Yes, it's primitive camping, but we did just fine.
