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!

@DanielD4395113 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #5

The are is clean but the potty Toilets looks like it haven't been service/clean in monthssss.

@FranklinAFC9EC · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #8

the place is perfect to camp with family and friends

@BradenT4CA5342 · Camped on Mar 15, 2024 at Campsite #5

No rangers to enforce campground rules. Other campsites were consuming alcohol, playing music until after midnight, and left trash all over the campsites.

@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Feb 6, 2024 at Campsite #5

I love this place. If you want peace, here it is

@Konstanti1F867 · Camped on Jan 26, 2024 at Campsite #6

Great place

@DannyM5743726 · Camped on Dec 29, 2023 at Campsite #11

Very nice campground very clean porta potty

@JamesR5751753 · Camped on Dec 17, 2023 at Campsite #10

Campground and porta-potties were clean. The campground has not trash receptacles on purpose. There was some transportation noise from aircraft and railroads as can be expected in that region of the Maryland, but there was not road noises in the campground.

@LeaC140346F5BB · Camped on Nov 10, 2023 at Campsite #6

Great stay! Our group booked sites 4-6. It was gorgeous on a fall weekend. The bathrooms were well maintained. One consideration is noise from large groups camping nearby- we had small children, so the noise late at night was disruptive (and my guess is they correspondingly didnt appreciate our noise at 7 am when the kids got up to play).

@PHILLIPL105873 · Camped on Oct 21, 2023 at Campsite #5

Nice spot. As described. Fire ring and picnic table were in good condition. Previous campers left it in good condition. Wood delivery service was a life saver and a good value too.

@CraigR8509397 · Camped on Oct 20, 2023 at Campsite #10

Nice CG on the Potomac. Be sure to walk up to the canal behind the campground!

@SorenD6F655C46 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #7

Trash from previous campers left around, including leftover dishes and cans that were tossed into the firepit and brought in a bunch of ants. The railroad is REALLY close and we heard trains late at night and EARLY in the morning. The website states that only 1 vehicle per camp is allowed, but the sign at the camp says two are allowed. The area isn't bad at all, and you have really close access to the river, but not ideal either.

@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #13

Lovely campground in a beautiful setting with well maintained facilities. We were there for a second time for the August 30 full moon. It was lovely. The campground was close to full for the night of the full moon but otherwise we shared it with only a handful of people. The site is well maintained with a nice variety of campsites.

@BruceL8234E951 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #2

A very pleasant surprise. Secluded, with the Potomac River on one side and the C&O Canal trail on the other. Enjoyed the locomotives passing. Not buggy for mid-July.

@kennethT122875 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #1

The grass was very long. Your web site tells us that water is provided. The handle on the water pump was not there.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
