We had a church youth group paddling the Potomac who were squatting on our site upon arrival. There was trash scattered throughout the site from people who didn't want to pack it out - the fire pit was egregious. Multiple parties occurring at neighboring campsites that completely ignored the quiet hours regulations. I understand the NPS is dealing with limited resources at this time, but a ranger should at the very least drive through in the evening to make sure everything is under control.

Nice boat ramp and small camp areas. Good place to park and take a ride on the C&O Canal
