Noting more than a picnic area with a porta potty. Very little shade and privacy.

Such a pleasant surprise! In the past, we biked on the C&O but never camped. This time around we were passing through the area and wanted to take a bike break. Camping at this site was great! Had a chance to stretch our legs on the trail, visit some historical sites and enjoy the river view. We'd definitely stay here again.

really great time, don't let the lack of amenities scare you away.
i recommend getting a spot with water access (but its sort of steep to get down)
there isn't much privacy from other campers around you, but spots are large so there is distance
there is also close to ZERO service, so you really get to unplug
would've been perfect, but I just wish there was a dumpster to dispose trash somewhere on the grounds, you risk an animal getting into it while you're there & then have to take all your trash with you

Making reservations on line is very easy. Phoning may take longer since staff hours seem limited. McCoy Ferry is clean, spacious with lots of shade trees. There is a boat ramp so swimmers can easily access the river. Train runs very nearby but gratefully does not use it's whistle!
