No site markings on entrance but there are separate entrances for each grouping of 3 sites.

Great spot for kids: 1 mile walk from parking, flat open ground, and fire pits. Right off the canal, so fishing too.

We camped with a Scout group at the Youth Group Site #3. The site was level with plenty of space for everybody to set-up their tents. There were two fire rings with stumps/benches to sit on around the fire. There were also plenty of picnic tables for the group.
The port-a-johns were about a 1/4 mile from the campsite, next to the drop-off area. The Marsden Trace address on Waze/Google maps takes you directly to the drop-off (no parking) area. For groups, I suggest dropping gear here and then driving back to the parking areas mentioned in your reservation. The parking area itself is about 3/4 mile from site 3.

This is a great group camping location for hiking or biking the C&O or climbing at Carderock, but they have not serviced the port-a-potties since November. They were completely disgusting and full of trash. Hiking 0.7 miles for a usable bathroom is not acceptable.

Had a great winter campout here with Boy Scout Troop 58. Plenty of space to spread out, beautiful scenery right on the river, plentiful firewood, but also a lot of bird activity - beware! Also, the portapotties need to be cleaned out, but since we’re scouts – we didn’t use them anyway.
