I could not get into the campground and I do not recall seeing a tunnel height warning when I signed up. It was evident others had not either as two showed up that clearly would not fit in the tunnel either.

I love walking on the towpath looking at nature. My boyfriend and I love watching a cardinal fly to and from his truck every time we are there

If McCoy's Ferry campground is to be packed it out, please make sure to have some trash bags available to help with that idea or else responsible campers will spend a lot of time cleaning up micro trash, etc. overall very good experience at this campground site.
@AngelaRB582423 · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #7
Had so much fun!
@EmilyS1613279 · Camped on Mar 29, 2025 at Campsite #9
Plenty of space, clean picnic tables and portopot bathrooms. Nice breeze off the river and watching fishing boats. We booked two sites to have 2 cars but seems the 1 car 1 site rule is not enforced. The handle for the pump was not installed yet (end of March) bring extra water. Trains run all hours across the river and next to the walking/biking path. Nice site, would not return.

Great site to explore C&O - only issue are unauthorized campers/vehicles using the area in low season. Multiple (must likely local folks) cars/pick-ups daily and late into the evening park and sit in their vehicles. Weird. Makes you uneasy leaving for the day and sleeping at night.
@FaithHB5FA14EE · Camped on Feb 22, 2025 at Campsite #7
Only ones there on a Saturday night in February. Port-a-potties super clean. Quiet and peaceful (though the occasional train across the river). Weve been here in summer and winter and really enjoy it. Having the C&O right there is wonderful for a walk or run. Its a beautiful stretch.

great area
@CherylV3282887 · Camped on Nov 13, 2024 at Campsite #6
Beautiful location and very nice flat sites. clean portapotty. easy to park. river is right there. Be mindful of the tunnel height is a maximum of 10'3" with curved sides . our T@B400 trailer is 9' and it just fit through with inches to spare! Could hear the trains, didnt bother us in a trailer.

Great location!
@RichardJ844521 · Camped on Oct 22, 2024 at Campsite #8
Port a pottys SPOTLESS and well maintained. Have noticed there is at least ONCE a Ranger patrol car going through the site. Excellent location for a variety of adventures.
@RyanK6503156 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #6
It's not often you get to sleep next to the Potomac River. It's hard to beat drinking coffee while watching the river flow by. The trains can be a bit noisy, but it wasn't too bad.
@KentS1144520 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #7
Great place for a camp out with friends.
@Alexander99779 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #10
Great small campground with easy access to the C&O canal towpath. Campground and pit toilets were pretty clean. Compared to prior visits in past years, the place has become a nighttime party hangout for locals, though, thankfully, they left before midnight. Some campers ignore the 10pm quiet hours, and keep their loud conversations going until later, though, again, quieting down before midnight. These same folks also had four vehicles, three tents, and a dozen people staying at one campsite. I guess the campground rules are just suggestions if not enforced by the campground hosts. I love this campground, but will only be going back if I can avoid staying there on a Friday or Saturday night.
@RobertL8EF7CB2 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #7
A pretty much isolated location so be prepared. The location itself was very wonderful as it was our first visit. Other campers were pretty much hospitable and respectful of space. Areas pretty laid out & clean. Saw rangers on patrol each day during visit and they were hospitable as well. We had a very good experience even with the one storm that passed through.
@DouglasGF4FB23 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #5
The views and layout were good, the biggest problem was the fact the train in right above you and comes several times a night. My wife's anxiety was horrible after they would wake her from a deep sleep. Also of note the ranger was very polite and helpful.
@JamesL2887084 · Camped on Aug 13, 2024 at Campsite #1
Nice site on the river with nice views. No camp host or firewood on site. Pit toilet in the parking lot by the boat ramp. Park rangers drove through a couple times. There was a bit of noise in the evening from people on the river.
@BobbyB965554A2 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #7
I am due a REFUND OF $20. We NEVER got to the Campsite because of the TUNNEL!??? No Access to the Campground.? Ridiculous
@AlanK3713178 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #7
Campground was very clean and there was a local police that came through a couple of times. A beautiful spot along the Potomac. We would go back again.
@BrianB7534319 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #6
There campground setting is very peaceful as it sits next to the Potomac River. An eagle flew by while I was enjoying my morning coffee! Its a very basic campground which was fine for me but people should be aware of before arriving.
@JonathanM29727 · Camped on Apr 29, 2024 at Campsite #11
Ive been coming to this site since I was a kid and couldnt be more happy with the upkeep on everything. Plenty of sites that are different from one another, some allowing more sun to come through, others completely shaded, some small and some larger for group camping. They have porta johns along the site trail, and even a spring well pump that pumps water thats as cold as the canal that borders the campground. Theres also a boat ramp for water access! Great place to stay for a weekend or longer and you cant beat $20 a night!
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #2
McCoy's Ferry has been a favorite camping spot of ours for 20 years. We have used it to enjoy biking and nature walks along the C&O Canal, but most recetly, to attend the 18th Century Market Fair at Fort Frederick State Park approx. 2 miles west along the canal towpath.
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #12
We loved the campground, very pretty and quiet. Just two or three other campers, very nice people. Got a good look at a Pileated woodpecker and a barred owl. The tunnel going in was no problem with our little tear drop. Our only suggestion would be the addition of a sign for the campground at the gate where the road going in forks. Bear right and down hill here, the paved road to the left goes nowhere.
@MarkD7704923 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #8
We camp here every year. I don't want to promote it as I like the little secret. If you're looking for bathrooms, showers and other amenities, this isn't for you. This is a campers paradise. Awesome bike trail on one side and and the river on the other. Huge site, secluded. We love it.
@DanielleC14054 · Camped on Mar 31, 2024 at Campsite #1
Peaceful campground with beautiful views of river and nature! Can't beat the price either (from mid Nov - mid Apr $10/night! Bring water, food, firewood and relax!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
