Couldnt stay at this location had to go to a different one the description isnt very clear. After driving hours to get there I had to park on the road and we had to cross a narrow bridge with our equipment it was impossible with all the things my family and I had.

@MirandaBEBE72A · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #20

No camp host/ park ranger on site. Locals use it as a hangout at night. The party two sites over played music until after 3 am. Same group ended up in a physical and verbal fight, resulting in the police arriving . NOT A SAFE CAMP. Shame because the view was beautiful

This location was awesome! The towpath and river offer so many recreational opportunities! The campsites offer plenty of space for privacy, the restrooms are clean, and the parking is close by. Will definitely be back.

@WendyVC3FC0E24 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #4

Great sites right along the river. Smoke space per site. Clean privies. Well maintained.

Campsite 9/10The Antietam Creekside Campsite is a great place to camp. Unfortunately, our visit coincided with a week of inclement weather, forcing us to book an Airbnb for the first two nights. Once we settled into our campsite for the third and fourth nights, we faced the challenge of rain and mud.One particular issue we encountered was excessive noise from campsite 8. Kids were yelling and crying throughout the night, and someone was hacking wood with an axe late at night, which was quite disruptive.On the other side of things, we did have diverse groups of hikers and bikers along the path during the weekend passing through. This is to be expected, as the area is popular for outdoor activities more so during the weekends. On the fourth night, we had the campsite to ourselves, possibly due to the weather conditions. I would highly recommend staying again during better weather conditions during the weekdays.

Excellent campground for bike riding on the C&O Canal or touring Antietam Battlefield.

@KathyF2E2A5FD5 · Camped on Oct 10, 2024 at Campsite #19

Porta-Potty and water pump were a long walk from site, but privacy from adjacent sites was a good tradeoff

@WadeG436178368 · Camped on Oct 8, 2024 at Campsite #9

Excellent primitive camping experience. Very rustic. The C&O Towpath is very busy, so plan accordingly. Lots of eyes on your campsite 24 hours a day, so this adds a feeling of security to be in the company of many like-minded individuals. Expect foot traffic and site occupancy to increase exponentially on weekends, and make sure to check the local calendars of events for activities that could add additional complications. Easily accessible to Shepherdstown, WVA just a couple of minutes east for any modern needs. All told, I could not ask for better arrangements than Antietam Creek Campground. I will definitely return regularly.

Beautiful and clean campsite. I would happily stay here again!

@RossG8902433 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #1

The camp site was excellent!

@SherriB3960606 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #19

It was a vey great place to camp at , the scenery is beautiful,

@JulieY2014211 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #7

Our usual campsite spot was all that we have come to enjoy. The only difference being that the vegetation overgrowing the steep path down to the river's edge had gone wild.After some careful pruning, the descent was its usual rooty, steep slope.

@ShannahWDEC278 · Camped on Mar 22, 2024 at Campsite #18

This is my favorite campsite and had a wonderful stay as always.

@JohnL4419148 · Camped on Mar 4, 2024 at Campsite #20

Love the owls at night!

@Jennifer818787 · Camped on Dec 31, 2023 at Campsite #19

It was just like any other time, GREAT, nice and clean .

@CamilleB581454 · Camped on Dec 30, 2023 at Campsite #10

Loved our time here. Right on the river. Im sure at certain times of the year there can be a lot of foot traffic due to the C&O trail, over all great location, clean, easy, tons of wild life. Will definitely be back.

@EricW5409055 · Camped on Nov 17, 2023 at Campsite #18

Beautiful for a fall campout once the leaves are down and you can see the river. Only improvement I would ask for would be to make the well water drinkable.

@TimM9090024 · Camped on Nov 8, 2023 at Campsite #10

Lovely spot by the Potomac. Only question was would the pump actually produce water had we needed it and I gave up after many pumps. Other than that, we quite enjoyed the campsite and location.

@MatthewB318226 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #7

Nice campsite, close to parking. Fire pit was great but would have been nice to have firewood options nearby. Also could be helpful to have campsite numbers closer to the road to find it easier after dark.

@MichaelF459455 · Camped on Sep 18, 2023 at Campsite #8

Beautiful park and camping. Searched for firewood by riding around the local area without success. Ended up scavenging some wood from park wooded area but there wasnt much. Park restrooms were gross need more frequent cleaning service. Restrooms are heavily used by trail users.

@KevinM8804744 · Camped on Sep 16, 2023 at Campsite #5

We had a good time. Site 5 could use a little better path to the river but everything was good.

@KarenK3878935 · Camped on Sep 3, 2023 at Campsite #18

Site 18 is an easy set up from the road, as it is right across the canal. Sadly, this ease also attracts squatters, whether they are set up at the campsite itself, or set up in floaties at the riverbank, necessitating them walking through your campsite. It's also very close to site 17, which is a smaller site and so if the people in 17 are exceeding the maximum number of people and tents, they will leak over into your peace and quiet. Overall, it was an okay night, made better by the fish I was able to catch the next morning after the waters had settled down from the squatters.

@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #8

Beautiful campground. The biggest complaint is that by Sunday morning there were no trash/recycling bags left.

@BRIANC8885365 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #16

The campground was quite empty this time (July 18-20). Only a couple other sites occupied. There was no campground host, which ended up being just fine. Port-o-Johns were clean, the campground was quiet, pump handles were on for water...really no complaints. My only request would be a way to obtain firewood those who can't bring their own (traveling by bicycle, for example). I love being able to make a reservation at this campground vs. the hiker-biker sites along the trail.

@JasonH5601399 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #8

Lots of fun and a decent amount of space per area. Sound travels between campsites. Lots of bikers go through and seem pretty nice. It was a clean space, but the bathroom was pretty knarly at the end of the weekend. Would definitely go back at some point.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@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
