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.

Gorgeous location, great price. We camped at the group campsite, which had plenty of room for the kids to run around. There was only one other campsite that was occupied, during our stay in the middle of January. They played loud music but we were far enough away that we were not disturbed by their music and (hopefully) they were not disturbed by our loud kids.
Why not 5 stars? THE TRAINS!!! They barely ran at all, during the day. But from 10:30pm - 3:30am, they ran every 30 minutes, BOTH nights (Monday and Tuesday). Now, if you are a deep sleeper this won't bother you. But, if it takes you longer than 5 minutes to fall asleep think twice about camping here, unless you have Benadryl. Ear plugs didn't work. Even my kid, who I thought sleeps through everything, was woken up by the trains the first night. Second night, she slept all the way through, exhausted after playing so hard. It's such a shame because the location is fantastic and the setting is so beautiful.

A gorgeous amount of stars on a clear night and in the morning we were treated to a nice pastel sunrise over the river. A little bit hard to find in the dark due to lack of signage but glad we didn't give up on it.
