## Overview

The Antietam Creek Campground is located at Mile 69.4 on the C&O; Canal Towpath, a few miles south of Shepherdstown on the Maryland side of the Potomac River. The campsites are nestled in the woods between the Canal and the Potomac River and they are a short distance from many recreational opportunities. Fishing, boating and hiking are but a few possibilities while staying at Antietam Creek Campground.

## Recreation

Popular activities at Antietam Creek include boating and fishing. Kayaking the creek and surrounding areas during various times of the year are scenic and ever changing. Nearby boat ramps at Dargan Bend and Snyders Landing provide motor boat access to the river. Fishing is also a popular pastime in both the watered sections of the C&O; Canal the Potomac River. Be sure to acquire a Maryland Fishing License for those age 16 or older. West Virginia Licenses are approved for fishing in the Potomac only.

## Facilities

The campground has 20 single campsites each with a picnic table, fire ring and grill. Each campsite will accommodate up to eight campers. Protected pit toilets are located between campsite #6 and campsite #7 adjacent to the towpath. A second set of chemical toilets are available down the towpath. Potable water is along the towpath at pumps (may not be available during cold winter months). No vehicular traffic is allowed on the towpath and access to the campsites is by foot only. Parking is allowed on the shoulder of Canal Rd only.

## Natural Features

Antietam Creek Campground is just south of Sharpsburg, MD. Antietam Creek is a typically mild and slow moving creek which feeds into the much larger and faster Potomac River directly adjacent to the campsite. River rise and floods can modify conditions quickly here.

Welcome to Sullivan's Camp Cacapon.  After retiring from the US Air Force we settled down in Northern Virginia and began our second careers (as so many do).  With the hustle-and-bustle of the DC area (and the dreaded I-95 corridor), we had to find a place to get away from it all.  We absolutely fell in love with the Cacapon Valley and it's crystal clear, slow-moving, waters--as well as nearby Berkeley Springs with it's art scene, antique shops, spas and Apple Butter Festival.  Nothing more relaxing than spending time in the mountains, fishing, kayaking, and just kicking back. 

Sullivan’s Camp Cacapon is more than just a campground, it is a place where families come together and lifelong memories are made! This campground is created by our family for your family. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do! When we found this beautiful 8-acre property, we truly struck gold. Just 20 minutes from the Berkeley Springs, and in the heart of the Cacapon Valley, there is plenty of exploring to do on your next vacation to Sullivan’s Camp Cacapon.

Our campground is the perfect place to kick back for a weekend getaway or to bring the whole family together for a special event! Bring your own tent, or rent out one of our cottages!

Whether you stay for a weekend or a week, we promise that you will come back for more Camp Cacapon fun! We created Sullivan’s Camp Cacapon so that we can share our little piece of heaven with you and your loved ones. As retirees from the US Air Force, our family spends a lot of time here and created this space to get away from the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life. We hope you join us on your next getaway!
