There campground setting is very peaceful as it sits next to the Potomac River. An eagle flew by while I was enjoying my morning coffee! It’s a very basic campground which was fine for me but people should be aware of before arriving.

I’ve been coming to this site since I was a kid and couldn’t be more happy with the upkeep on everything. Plenty of sites that are different from one another, some allowing more sun to come through, others completely shaded, some small and some larger for group camping. They have porta john’s along the site trail, and even a spring well pump that pumps water that’s as cold as the canal that borders the campground. There’s also a boat ramp for water access! Great place to stay for a weekend or longer and you can’t beat $20 a night!

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 mi 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.
