There were a set of campers nearby that played music and screamed and cursed until 3am one night. Otherwise we had a great time. Loved the water spicier and river access.

Great campsite on the river, a little buggy if you are ground tenting but nothing crazy.

A really great place to rest, kayak, and bike ride. We will go back.
A really great experience.
Some minor suggestions:
1. At the road entrance, at the very last Y, put a sign showing go to the right to the campground. This will prevent people from continuing on what appears to be the main road but really is a dead end for the school bus turn around.
2. If your plan is to clean the toilet facilities every 3 days, put in more than 2 rolls of toilet paper.

I arrived at the campsite and there is a sign that says possible rabid animal warning. The website did not warn me of this beforehand. I was relying on this campground as my night stay before my train the next day in DC. I did not feel comfortable staying at the site so had to last minute change all my plans. The park is beautiful and I wish i got to explore it more. Please be more forthcoming about these sorts of warnings.
