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.

If McCoy's Ferry campground is to be packed it out, please make sure to have some trash bags available to help with that idea or else responsible campers will spend a lot of time cleaning up micro trash, etc. overall very good experience at this campground site.

Plenty of space, clean picnic tables and portopot bathrooms. Nice breeze off the river and watching fishing boats. We booked two sites to have 2 cars but seems the 1 car 1 site rule is not enforced. The handle for the pump was not installed yet (end of March) bring extra water. Trains run all hours across the river and next to the walking/biking path. Nice site, would not return.

Great site to explore C&O - only issue are unauthorized campers/vehicles using the area in low season. Multiple (must likely local folks) cars/pick-ups daily and late into the evening park and sit in their vehicles. Weird. Makes you uneasy leaving for the day and sleeping at night.
