What Guests Are Saying
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.

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.

Only ones there on a Saturday night in February. Port-a-potties super clean. Quiet and peaceful (though the occasional train across the river). We’ve been here in summer and winter and really enjoy it. Having the C&O right there is wonderful for a walk or run. It’s a beautiful stretch.

Beautiful location and very nice flat sites. clean portapotty. easy to park. river is right there. Be mindful of the tunnel height is a maximum of 10'3" with curved sides . our T@B400 trailer is 9' and it just fit through with inches to spare! Could hear the trains, didnt bother us in a trailer.
