McCoy's Ferry Campground offers a beautiful and clean camping experience with scenic views of the river and access to hiking and biking trails along the C&O Canal. Campers appreciate the well-maintained facilities, including clean port-a-potties, and the peaceful atmosphere, although some note occasional noise from passing trains and powerboats.

What I liked most about the campsite was that you could park your vehicle in your sight. It was very shady and clean. The permanent bathroom was better than Porta-Jon. Easy access to river was nice. Bring firewood. The drain for the pump needs to be cleared. It was backed up and mosquito larvae were in the standing water.

The map online made it seem like spot #10 was on the water when in fact it was on the other side of the road.
The ground was impenetrable when trying to stake down the tent. We moved our tent between 2 different spots and there was no way to secure our tent. We ended up leaving after 3 hours of trying to set up the tent.
I have been tent camping for over 30 years and have set up tents in all terrain so to walk away was not an easy decision.
I did not get a refund or an option to change dates and/or location.

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.
