What Guests Are Saying
McCoy's Ferry Campground is praised for its beautiful riverfront location, well-maintained facilities, and peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for camping, fishing, and biking along the C&O Canal towpath. Many visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the portajohns and the spaciousness of the campsites. However, some guests noted noise from passing trains and occasional issues with cleanliness upon arrival, but overall, it remains a favored spot for repeat campers.

We loved the campground, very pretty and quiet. Just two or three other campers, very nice people. Got a good look at a Pileated woodpecker and a barred owl. The tunnel going in was no problem with our little tear drop. Our only suggestion would be the addition of a sign for the campground at the gate where the road going in forks. Bear right and down hill here, the paved road to the left goes nowhere.

McCoy's Ferry has been a favorite camping spot of ours for 20 years. We have used it to enjoy biking and nature walks along the C&O Canal, but most recetly, to attend the 18th Century Market Fair at Fort Frederick State Park approx. 2 miles west along the canal towpath.

We camp here every year. I don't want to promote it as I like the little secret. If you're looking for bathrooms, showers and other amenities, this isn't for you. This is a campers paradise. Awesome bike trail on one side and and the river on the other. Huge site, secluded. We love it.

Previous campers left a lot of trash but even so, it is a beautiful and serene place.
