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.

The cleanest portapotties I have encountered! I was a little put off at not having a real bathroom, but at least the portable toilets were well taken care of. The campground is a hidden gem, right off the water. My family enjoyed some light kayaking there. I gave one less star only because my fire pit was piled high with trash-beer cans, diapers, cold packs, cigarettes, etc. It was gross to clean out and I was surprised that the campground hadn't noticed it before our arrival. Despite the camp trash, I would definitely return.

Spent an early season weekend here and truly enjoyed it. We should have brought more fresh water as well was not working yet.
Campground was clean and easy to access. We would recommend this spot!

This was the perfect spot for a quick camping trip. The views of the river are so peaceful. Bring your bike for a ride on the trail. Iβll definitely be making a return trip.

Beautiful flat Campground on the banks of the Potomac River. Both Riverside and C and O canal side campsites. Online reservation system what is slow due to poor cellular service In the campground. No light pollution; we could see all the stars clearly In the campground. Mid-March, only two other campers on a Sunday night. Traversing the 10β3β tunnel in a 9β6β RV was a little harrowing with icicles hanging from the ceiling that had to be broken off in order to pass through. Well worth the $10 a night! We will come back again

McCoy was an awesome experience. The sites are right next to the river and had beautiful views of the mountains. We had no issues entering the site and setting up our tent. I plan on coming back for sure. McCoy is only an hour from my house, and I'm glad I discovered it.
