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.

Bathrooms were disguising and looked like they haven’t been emptied in weeks. The train tracks are so close and extremely loud all through the night. I definitely won’t be booking to stay here again because of this.

This is a pretty minimal campground! Someone has stolen the handle off the water supply, so there wasn’t even running water. There were Porta Johns bear for restrooms and I didn’t feel particularly secure leaving my personal items at the campsite when I went away.

Site is full of trees with many dead, heavy branches that are constantly falling. One of these branches (at least 100 lb) broke off and landed directly on our tent, destroying it (ripped fabric, broken supports). It was pure luck we had left just 5 minutes earlier. The Potomac River was too polluted to swim in, and although this was known to the administration at the time of booking, no warnings were posted on the booking site. The manual water pump barely worked on the first day and was completely removed by maintenance for the rest of our stay, leaving no usable water. Also, three occupied sites had people overdrinking, shouting, hitting their dog, wobbling through the campsite in the dark, and cursing. To sum up, not the kind of adventure I was looking for.

Not great, but certainly not bad.

I could not get into the campground and I do not recall seeing a tunnel height warning when I signed up. It was evident others had not either as two showed up that clearly would not fit in the tunnel either.
