The campground is situated on a very narrow patch of land next to the river and requires all rigs over 10' to take a 20 min detour to avoid an old, stone rail tunnel. The camp host "Momma T" met me there and guided me into our spot. She did a great job taking care of us during our stay. RV sites on the riverbank are not leveled, so you will want to bring all of your leveling gear with you. Place is located an easy drive to either Harper's Ferry proper or to Charlestown, so, once situated, it offered a picturesque camping spot. Early May, it was a little on the chilly side and not very busy. No rafters or zip-lining going on, so I guess we missed all that excitement. There is a couple that regularly puts on a show with their wave runners and we did get to share in the 9lb catfish one of the regulars caught off the boat ramp while we were there.The dual freight rail lines did create quite a bit of noise. Close as they were (100') I didn't really mind them. I tried sleeping with and without earplugs and didn't notice any real difference in the quality of my sleep. Amenities-wise, we liked the proximity to town (I only cooked twice). No sewer hookup requires you to dump on the way out and their dumpsite, while well appointed, is not level or easily accessed. Your trailer will end up pitched away from the dumpsite making emptying your holding tanks difficult. Also, since you are in the Potomac River Valley, don't count on quality cell service no matter what kind of hotspot rig you have. The bathroom/bathhouse situation could be a lot better. The only showers are located in a bathhouse up a rather steep walking path on the complete opposite end of the campground and isn't easy accessed from any campsite. It's an especially long hike for tent campers - which just seems cruel.Will have to ask the wife, but I think we would probably come back with her parents because her dad was a train engineer for BNSF. In all, it is tight and noisy for the price.

This campground is actually right long the river, which is lovely. But between trains and zip lines, not quiet. The directions to get from check in location to the campground are clear, no map, but written directions get you there. If you have an RV and need more than 11’ clearance, the trip around the low bridge is out of the way. V...moreThis campground is actually right long the river, which is lovely. But between trains and zip lines, not quiet. The directions to get from check in location to the campground are clear, no map, but written directions get you there. If you have an RV and need more than 11’ clearance, the trip around the low bridge is out of the way. Very confusing on the way out without a map. Electricity was over voltage and if we did not have surge suppressor we would not have known it and likely would have blown our electrical,system. For the price, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Have waited six months into our RV life to start reviews for fair comparisons. We stayed here to meet up with friends in Harpers Ferry. It has been our most expensive site in six months, but suspect that’s par for the course in this area.

We stayed here to meet up with friends in Harpers Ferry. It has been our most expensive site in six months, but suspect that’s par for the course in this area. Prepare for the noise with the overhead zip lining (which is cool to watch), the frequent passing train, and the honking of horns going through the tunnel. All that being said, great view and the guy in charge couldn’t have been any nicer. Brought us free firewood for having to wait less than five minutes to get into our site, which we really didn’t mind. The reason it was delayed was they were creating a new site, and when we expressed the desire to stay longer than our initial reservation he let us take the new site. Yes it’s noisy, but we really enjoyed it. Great areas for dog walking. And can walk into town from the campground.

Other then the fact we didn't have sewer hook up, power and water only, it was a great experience. Beautiful site. Great staff. They even let me use some of their tools to modify our bed. We were there over Halloween, our kids live fairly close and we had just returned from a trip with our new 5th wheel.

They even let me use some of their tools to modify our bed. We were there over Halloween, our kids live fairly close and we had just returned from a trip with our new 5th wheel. Halloween trick or treating was awesome with our grand kids visiting that night. Near the train tracks was a little noisy but not to bad. Kind of got use to it. Definitely would stay there again. We're talking of taking another trip soon and obviously staying there again. To get there was a tad tricky, but it was absolutely worth it.
