Stayed in mid-October. The main issue we had was a lack of communication and lack of details. Reserved two group camp sites at Marsden Tract and came across several unexpected issues. 1) Parking was available at Carderock BUT there was construction along the Canal and the construction workers yelled at some of our parents for taking the direct route to the camp site. The alternate path tripped the transit time which made it challenging to get supplies to camp. We were never told about the construction. 2) Billy Goat trail in that area largely unavailable due to renovation. We were never told about that. 3) We had to hike around for a long time to find the port a pots which were very dirty. 4) one of the sites was pretty overgrown and couldnt accommodate the advertised 30 campers. Good location and manageable with better and more timely information.

Site 5 is amazing! Really well done by the BSA Scouts! Flat and level and clean and lots of room. Even a bike rack. It is a bit of a hike to the parking. There is temp parking across the canal but then you have to move. Really great site!

Loved the location and the site was well equipped for what we needed. It's a little hard to get to, but we brought a wagon and took multiple trips. We did notice a little bit of trash scattered about in the outermost premises of the site, but other than that everything was very neat and tidy on the site itself.
