Small but beautiful

It’s one of those camp sites that is right off the bike path, not far from Harper’s Ferry. It’s small with only one picnic table and one grill, but plenty of area for about 3-4 camp sites. It is gorgeous though waking up right along the Potomac. A great place to camp for free if you’re doing a bike pack up from DC to Harper’s Ferry and then back the next day. Or a great place to stop as one of the stops from Pittsburgh to DC.
