McCoy's Ferry Campground offers a beautiful and clean camping experience with scenic views of the river and access to hiking and biking trails along the C&O Canal. Campers appreciate the well-maintained facilities, including clean port-a-potties, and the peaceful atmosphere, although some note occasional noise from passing trains and powerboats. Overall, it's a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a relaxing getaway.

To my extreme disappointment this was not what I expected. I've been using this Campground since I was a young child and ive never had to deal w the toilet conditions we faced on our trip. The door markings showed the last cleaning was 8/15. There was no toilet paper in many of the stalls. I had go into town to purchase it. There were also stalls removed from the park which adds to the heavy usage, and helped to creat this mess along with the closure of the dock downtiver adding to park traffic. I will try again next season most likely due to my wonderful childhood memories I just hope there is more care of the park in the future, paying guests deserve good quality restrooms

Wonderful location on the river. In the future, I'll choose on of the sites that sits on the river. I took advantage of the locals selling firewood, which was a great advantage compared to others who were searching for dead wood in the small areas available. The boat launch was great for my kayak.

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.
