The Campground was very nice. It is a bit longer walk to the site than we had expected. We arrived after dark and it took us a while to locate the site as there are no signs directing you to the site.

Cancelled due to water contamination. No DNR warnings or on your site for Potomac River. Found out by contacting the upper Potomac River keeper.

Only camper, clean and neat campsites, vault toilets were clean and obviously, not over used. Heavy rains caused creek and Potomac to be near flood stage! Was spectacular to view

This is a nice site, with a direct path to the creek and river. However, because there's a direct path to the creek and river, other people think it's okay to walk through the site, which is incredibly rude and disrespectful. It's also next to the restrooms, so depending on how the wind blows, can be a bit aromatic.
