Bathrooms were disguising and looked like they havent been emptied in weeks. The train tracks are so close and extremely loud all through the night. I definitely wont be booking to stay here again because of this.

@RobinB2917356 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #12

This is a pretty minimal campground! Someone has stolen the handle off the water supply, so there wasnt even running water. There were Porta Johns bear for restrooms and I didnt feel particularly secure leaving my personal items at the campsite when I went away.

@MantasSE17742B · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #3

Site is full of trees with many dead, heavy branches that are constantly falling. One of these branches (at least 100 lb) broke off and landed directly on our tent, destroying it (ripped fabric, broken supports). It was pure luck we had left just 5 minutes earlier. The Potomac River was too polluted to swim in, and although this was known to the administration at the time of booking, no warnings were posted on the booking site. The manual water pump barely worked on the first day and was completely removed by maintenance for the rest of our stay, leaving no usable water. Also, three occupied sites had people overdrinking, shouting, hitting their dog, wobbling through the campsite in the dark, and cursing. To sum up, not the kind of adventure I was looking for.

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.

@WayneF4549223 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #2

Not great, but certainly not bad.

@JessicaF558442 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #9

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

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #1

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.

@GrahamT64580C0 · Camped on Mar 11, 2025 at Campsite #4

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.

@TerryO7704177 · Camped on Jan 3, 2025 at Campsite #6

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.

@JohnsonE75393E · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #8

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!

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
