Brunswick Family Campground

Great location right next the river. Easy to walk into the river or tube down it. Lots of different activities for kids and plenty of space at each site to make your home away from home.

Great Family Spot

We rented the one of the cabins, "Onward," here at Brunswick Family Campground. 

Pros:

*   Great Potomac river views
*   Weather-proof cabin with comfy bunks
*   Friendly fellow campers
*   C and O Canal towpath cuts right through to allow for some great walks
*   Close to Harpers Ferry and tubing
*   Close to the Monocacy River (great for kayaking!) 

Cons: 

*   The cabin was TINY. Essentially four beds (two bunks) and some space between them to move around. Essentially a shed with bunkbeds in it. 
*   Cabin was kind of expensive for what it was
*   Older, just-clean-enough bathhouse (quite a walk from our cabin)
*   Brunswick train station and depot is just a few hundred feet away and you can hear trains at all times of the night 
*   Really bright fluorescent light post outside our cabin 
*   Close sites to neighbors

Along the Wide Potomac 

I found this campground to be very nice it’s a small family owned campground. The store is very small and it’s in a travel trailer so there’s not much selection there is ice and firewood for sale. What is amazing is that 100 yards from here campsite may be a little more for further out but the Shanandoah river parallels the campground. The river is beautifully clean clear and cool. There wasn’t much late night going on it seemed all the campers for the most part we’re turned in by 11. That was a nice time to go out on a bike and explore the campground a little more if you’re up to nighttime activities. I would highly recommend this campground for it simplicity and beauty that surrounds it. Oh yeah the CNO railroad runs pretty close it’s not super loud just wanted to make you aware.￼￼￼

Small but charming 

This was my second time to Brunswick Family Campground within two weeks. This campground is so quaint and carefree you almost forget the outside world. The Shanandoah is just as beautiful. The showers could use a good cleaning but they are typical Campground showers perfect for the campground life. The little store has just the necessities and there is an amazing playground for the kids. I would absolutely recommend this campground for families or just a couple wanting to get away.￼￼

2nd trip

I wanted to add to my original review I absolutely love this campground I live in Baltimore so it’s only an hour and 10 minutes for me I am planning my third trip next month. This video shows the Shenandoah River and the campground enjoy￼

Serenity

This was our first trip with our RV and it was a great experience. The staff is extremely nice and helpful with everything (especially Petey)! Our spot was on the river with a short walk to the boat ramp and access. It was very quiet, serene, &amp; clean. Dog-friendly (seemed like everyone had a dog) and downtown was a short bike ride away. Would definitely camp here again.

First Trip with RV

We stayed in a Potomac river view site with water and electric hookups for our 17' Jayco hybrid. The river view was nice, but we were packed in with our neighbors like sardines and no shade. The road into the campground was badly in need of repair. Site was not level and infested with black flies. Restrooms were beyond disgusting, dumpsters overflowing and dump station was muddy. To add insult to injury, they charged $60 per weeknight and sold us wet wood for $8. This could be a beautiful place with some upgrades and maintenance. 

Trashy and Run Down

Great campground as long as you select the correct site as that is incredibly important. I’m sure in peak season or holidays it can be very busy and then you’d be very tight to your neighbor especially in the A loop. Sites on the ends are by far larger than the center.
