Only camper, clean and neat campsites, vault toilets were clean and obviously, not over used. Heavy rains caused creek and Potomac to be near flood stage! Was spectacular to view

Tried to cancel my reservation, and the system failed to work, even though the rules said I could and I tried in the specified time. Waisted my money.

Overly lively nightlife for an escape into the woods. Prepare for bugs too.

Great view of the river and launching area. Fairly level area for tent. Far enough away from the bathrooms but not too far.
No two trees close enough together for hammock.
Almost no signal for Verizon. I heard TMobile was pretty good.

No working dump station! No one there to sell ice or wood.

Info published by NPS indicated that a variety of amenities were available on site, such as water restrooms, showers, restaurants, Convenience stores, etc. In fact, none were available. This camp was similar to other hiker\biker camps along the trail, with no amenities. As a hiker\biker camp, it was fine.

This is a beautiful spot right on the Potomac and c&o canal.

It is VERY basic however. No showers, running water, power, or any hookups. There really is very little arpund and depending on season, you may need to go 6 miles or more to nearest store.

Perfect for prepared tent camping however ;) bring a bike and do part of the canal, or fish the river ...

Fyi - there is a boat ramp - the river is shallow at this location. Would recommend float or flat bottomed boat
