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.
