Reviews
The campsite offers beautiful views of the Potomac and mountains, making it a scenic spot for campers. However, many reviewers noted the loud highway noise and limited site privacy due to closely spaced sites. While the chemical toilets were reported as clean, some found the portapotties in poor condition, especially in winter. The campground is affordable and provides good access to hiking trails, but lacks certain amenities like electric hookups and showers.
