The grass was very long. Your web site tells us that water is provided. The handle on the water pump was not there.

A very pleasant surprise. Secluded, with the Potomac River on one side and the C&O Canal trail on the other. Enjoyed the locomotives passing. Not buggy for mid-July.

Attractive setting, my site was nice. The canal was pretty - a few fishing boats floated by now and then.
Notes: No host, and I don't think the gate was locked at night. A few vehicles driving through late at night. Sites are fairly close to each other with no privacy. Water pump didn't have a handle; not sure if you just weren't supposed to use it or if it was missing, but you definitely need your own water.

Riverside camp spots have a lot of overgrowth on the riverside bank. There is no access to the river from your camping spot. Nice small campground, well pump water, and A LOT of port-a-potty's.... too many.. whichever direction the wind blows, there is a waft of port-a-potty smell throughout.
Boat ramp access in the park for river use. Was an ok spot for a night stay along a multi-day trip. Maybe try again towards winter. If it is really hot, I would not want to be around all those toilets...
