This lovely, quiet campground on the Potomac is absolutely perfect for an out-of-the-way location. At night the owls are quite active with their midnight serenades. It’s great for walks or bike rides along the C&O Canal, and firewood is available at the Clear Spring gas stations 10 minutes away if not available nearby. Check out Dam 5 for fishing and Greenbrier State Park for swimming.

Beautiful view from our campsite. We’ve been camping there the same weekend for several years, and we are used to the trains.

McCoy's Ferry Campground is one of our most favorite places to camp. It was great earlier this spring when it first opened, but when we returned last week for an overnight stay the campground was not as clean and as well maintained as it usually is. A bit disappointing, but still a really treasure for those wishing to have a quiet, restorative time in a pastoral setting without big rigs, etc.

Wonderfully quiet campground nestled next to the Potomac River. Fire rings, grills and picnic tables are provided. We only stayed one night as we traveled but enjoyed the quiet. You need to know that there are train tracks close by along both sides of the river so you definitely get the “train experience “ as the freight trains pass - including overnight. This wasn’t a problem for us as years ago we lived nearby active railroad lines so it was almost nostalgic for us. Would definitely recommend and stay there again if we are in the area.
