Being on the river was nice, and camp site #6 offered a lovely direct view of the river. But, at least 3 trains went by overnight, loud enough to wake me up. Also, at 12:30am a boat covered in spotlights trolled up the river to do what looked like night fishing. While the passengers were having a lovely time, I felt like a party boat with the brightness of the sun was taking forever to pass the site.
Overall: Friendly active site with boat ramp to the Potomac river, but avoid if you're looking for any kind of "getting away from others" kind of feeling.

Very isolated. That was good until the one other couple in the campground got into a shouting match at 2am. We ended up calling the police and leaving when they arrived. Didn’t feel safe. Too bad, it is a beautiful location.

Easy, safe spot on the Potomac. Took a walk on the gravel trail that follows alongside the river until it ran up to houses. Would definitely suggest if you're intending to utilize the river and boat.
