Our Scout group was very happy with this site. Great access to trails, hiking, scrambling, etc. Clean campground, drop off spot on the road is only 1/4 mile away, or a totally walkable mile or so to the overnight parking spot. Each site had multiple bbqs with grills, and fire pits. Well laid out and spacious. Tons of wildlife (although we were perplexed as to why there was a deer feeder in the back part of our site- probably should have been moved just a bit....) Will certainly go back again.

nice campsite. Close to the city, but far enough to feel far way

Toilets filthy, my campsite had a deer feeder that would turn on every so often in the middle of the night and wake me up. Access to the C&O canal towpath was very convenient. A restaurant was also very accessible. Don’t plan on packing too much in, the campsite is not convenient to parking (I knew this before I booked).

Overall, this is a good campground that is extremely convenient for those that live in Bethesda/Potomac. Note that one should consider this a hybrid between car camping and backpacking. The parking lot closest to the campground on MacArthur prohibits overnight parking but can be used as a staging area to setup camp. I was disappointed to see a lot of bottles and trash on the grounds area; I picked up over a dozen empty bottles of beer that someone else had littered on the campground. On non-busy weekdays, some campers have gotten away with camping at the grounds for free without a permit. My last complaint is that you can hear loud engine noise from sports cars and trucks driving on Falls Rd and MacArthur. That being said, the grounds themselves have everything that one needs for basic camping including fire pits, bbq racks, and flat spots for tents. The relatively secluded nature of the area minimizes beltway noise. The sites are extremely convenient for Billy Goat Trail hikes.

We love the Marsden Tract sites. Great access to the trail. Wide open sites. Good separation from each other. We keep coming back again and again.
