Within Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, Horsepen Branch operates as a National Park Service campground with restricted pet policies. Access proves challenging, as one camper noted the absence of clear entry points from the C&O Canal towpath itself. The marked location appears to place sites on or near the canal, though ground conditions may not match mapping data.
Campers seeking more reliable access might consider Seneca Creek State Park Campground as an alternative with established infrastructure.
