Antietam Creek Campground

Awesome campground with paths down to the river at most campsites. Water pump at the far end of the campground. I recommend being a cart or something because there is only one bridge across the canal in the center of the campground.

A wonderful campsite on the serene banks of the Potomac. Close to both the Antietam Battlefield as well as Harper's Ferry. This well furnished, fire pits/bathrooms, campsite is a great spot to get away while also being able to quickly get to where you're going.

Just so happened that we spent two nights at this Historic location on SEPTEMBER 11...sad and forever memorable...nice campsite...You Wish You Could Be So Fortunate as to camp here...Do It...plus John, the host is very nice and response times are good...

BRING YOUR OWN WOOD. It took us 2 hours to find wood and it ended up being complete robbery. Other than that, the site is beautiful. Great view of the potomac and the aquadect is pretty awesome. Food lion across the river in WV, the battlefield can be hiked to. We were the only ones there in mid November, and we were never disturbed.

This is a nice spot for car coming on the C&O canal. There is plenty of space and good access to the path. You can't drive right up to the camp sites, but the walk isn't long. If you want one of the spots right across from the walking bridge, reserve #8 or #9.

One of the best campsite I have been on that was on a river. The fishing was great, the sunsets were great, the atmosphere was great. Even during COVID, it was a great location.

Antietam is a primitive campsite (no water other than one pump for the camp, no garbage disposal [carry in/carry out] and outhouses and vault toilets, no electricity) along the the historic and beautiful Potomac River. If you're out that way and have a tent to pitch and are self-sufficient, it's a great place to stop. Tons of stuff to see and do nearby.

We found this campsite on accident when we headed down to see the B & O Canal, so we didn't have reservations. Gary, the camp host, figured out a way to accommodate us and is the nicest camp host we've ever met. Great tips for where else to go camping, hiking and sight seeing and just a genuinely kind person.

Lovely campground right by the river! About 3 miles from Shepherdstown, WV on the C&O Canal. Would make a great beginner backpack hiking in from trailhead near bridge to Shepherdstown. $20 per night, self pay.

Beautiful hike along C&O canal. Nobody thete but us and gorgeous views of the Potomac.

Besides the local history and beautiful countryside, 20 primitive camping lots are spacious, with 17-20 offering more privacy. Latrines are adequate and well water available most of the season. The Potomac Riverbank is mostly steep with overhanging trees that may impead with fishing.

Very accessible and located between the Potomac River and C & O Canal. The tow path is great for walking or biking. Historic Shepherdstown is nearby where you can eat if you don't want to cook. You can rent bikes there also.

This place was great when I was here. There is times when it gets very crowded. It's only a couple hundred yard walk from your vehicle so it's a very popular spot

This has become one of our favorite destinations for camping in the area, incredibly scenic, short drives to any needed amenities and historic venues. Only 8 minutes away from Antietam NBF, depending on how fast you drive.

Spent the weekend here and had a wonderful time. Nestled between the Potomac river and the towpath, it's an ideal spot for hiker/biker camping and hike-in was only a few hundred yards from the parking area by the road. There are a couple paths down to the water, but some sites are pretty steep. Access on the South side of the aqueduct leads down to the confluence of the Anteitam creek and the Potomac river. The aqueduct itself is an engineering marvel that carried the C&O canal over the Anteitam creek. Amazing!

Great place! Looking forward to coming here and camp sometime in the future.

This is a great group campsite area. Easy access to water, facilities, and fairly flat sites. The camp host for the 2022 season (Glenn) was a treat to talk to. Quick access to local attractions like battlefield and Harper's ferry was a plus. Will definitely return in the future.

Love this place! Very quiet and beautiful by the Potomac River. Highly recommend!

Had the greatest day with my mother and grandchildren today cant wait for more fun in the camp

This was a beautiful campsite on the Potomac river. Reasonably good bathrooms. Large fire rings were very nice and in good repair. Overall great experience for a family or small group and the campsites are close together so you could fit large groups like scout troops if you got more than one site.

Rained the whole time and it was still amazing. Quiet, secluded, right by the water with beautiful foliage. So close to so much history. Great place for bird watching and getting away from it all. Only strange thing is you don't check in with anyone, you just post your reservation number up on the post at your site. Be warned that you can't park at the site, you have to walk a bit. Will definitely be back.
