Nice little campground right between the Potomac River and C&O Canal Tow Path. There's a boat launch here and vault toilet toilet too and the tow path is accessible via a ramp. There's a payment dropbox location but the box had been removed and no envelopes so free camping with tables and fire pits but no potable water. There were mosquitos. There's a one lane tunnel to get to the campground and you need to veer to the right at the fork as you enter from the main road.
A real nice Campground with very few people there during the week and no one during the off-season. The first time a train goes by it will definitely scare you. The noise is incredible.
There was a lot of room to camp and park for the 5 of us and our two tents. We could have had triple the amount of people and we still would have been good for room. The porter potty surprisingly wasn't absolutely disgusting, and the fire pit was a decent size. The trains passed a couple of times and were more of a novelty than a nuisance. Our neighbors were super nice and shared their cherry cobbler with us. The price was more than reasonable, and I'm really happy I went with my friends!
Very nice and quant. Not suitable for RVs. Tent and small campers a yes! So peaceful... train passes but not too bad.
