Best RV Parks & Resorts near Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park
Several RV parks operate within 30 miles of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Brunswick Family Campground provides full hookup sites with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer connections, operating from late March through early November. Sites accommodate larger rigs with varied spacing between units. "The RV sites and tent sites are separated by a drive down the road. At some of the RV sites the hook ups are in crazy spots, some are in the neighboring sites area so you have to drag extensions around them," noted one camper. Harpers Ferry Campground features water and electric hookups with a sanitary dump station located about 100 yards from the camping area, though some visitors report tight maneuvering space for larger units. Lazy A Campground offers 30-amp service with water at most sites and a single 50-amp site, providing level spots along with a convenient dump station.
Pulling large RVs into some area campgrounds requires careful navigation, particularly at Harpers Ferry KOA where visitors report significantly unlevel sites. One traveler mentioned, "Our site was so unlevel that I was not able to get the RV leveled the entire weekend. Looking at the surrounding sites most campers were jacked high on blocks or sloping significantly." Most RV parks in the region are open seasonally, with limited year-round options available. Pets are generally welcome throughout the area's campgrounds, though specific restrictions may apply. Cell service varies considerably, with stronger signals closer to towns and weaker coverage in more remote locations along the Potomac River. Dump stations are available at most parks, but not all sites offer full sewer hookups, making trip planning important for extended stays.
