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.

This campground is great! It’s very secluded with your occasional bike riders and walkers walking the canal… all porta potties, but we are well seasoned campers. And absolutely loved this location. The train noise is there but not that loud. Great view of the large calm river. We were in love with it!

We really like theirs campground. Great location snuggled between the C&O Canal Tow Path and the Potomac River. The views of the Potomac are great and walking along the tow path is so relaxing. The problem though is that since there is no camp host things seem to get rowdy at night. I believe people in the area rent sites here so they can party through the night unchecked. We have stayed here twice and on both occasions there were camper up way past the quiet hours of 10:00 PM. I suspect this not a problem on the weekdays. We definitely recommend this campground but be sure to bring your earplugs or noise canceling headphone for the evening.

We were the only campers here. Very nice sites right on the water (not necessarily with access. You do have to be less than 10.5' tall to access campground. The only sad thing was that several sites had a lot of trash in their fire rings. It is sad that people are so disrespectful of the rules. We did not find that the train noise was overwhelming at all.
