The campground is pretty nice, with cabins, tent sites, and RV sites. It's also got a lot of extra activities that you can do.
$30 - $45 / night
Our site (site 3) was an easy level pull-through site, making the setup/breakdown very quick and painless.
$33 - $72 / night
We closed out the season with a trip here. It was absolutely serene and beautiful as the leaves were changing, fall vastly approaching.
$10 - $90 / night
This was our first trip with our RV and it was a great experience.
I always appreciate the near solitude experience of this campground as 90% of the sites are RV sites, that are kept away from the tenting area
Sites are very spacious and the gravel pad was level upon parking. Good connections and solid cable.
$50 / night
Good hookups. No bathrooms or showers. You hear the traffic on route 9 but not bad.
$50 / night
RangerThis is the only RV park in the Frederick area not at a state park. It's part mobile home part RV. It's not a vacation RV resort in any sense, it's definitely got more long term stays. Everyone had their own private lots which are nice but it is very tightly packed in. Every site has full hookups, cable, and trash service which is great. You are in Frederick so you are close to basically everything. You can walk to Aldi, Panera, amazing local restaurants. You're near Walmart, Target, Sheetz and Wawa. The location cannot be beaten for Frederick. Making reservations was a little nerve-wracking since it's was just said that there was a site available and to call a half-hour before arriving. We arrived with no issues though. It's a little rednecky but everyone is super nice and offers to help.
Not the best RV park, not the worst.
All sites are 50amp too so if you have a 30amp rig, you'll need a converter.
ScoutTook our new Fifth Wheel for a shakedown trip and decided to try Twin Bridges Campground. Staff was polite, amenities are great and clean, and everyone was friendly and polite. Big spacious sites, and a honeywagon to make things easier (there weren't any full hookup sites the I saw besides the long term spaces). Would definatley stay here again.
GuideOur stay was great. Our site was gravel, clean and pretty flat and level. Now, this place has the amenities of a resort, but the feeling of a campground. With that being said, it does cater to many seasonal, long term sites where the campers do not ever move their RV. All of the people were super friendly, both the staff and the long-term campers. We were here during the week and it was super quite. I can see the weekend being a bit louder, but that is every campground. You are about a mile hike from the Western Maryland Rail Trail.or short 5min or sondrive to the C&O Canal Towpath. Both are very pleasant ways to spend your time if you're not using the amenities at the campground (pool, volleyball, basketball, mini-golf). There is a store that is pretty fairly priced for many items and a food service area that is only open on weekends (seems to not be busy during the week). The only negative would be that because most of the campers are seasonal/long-term, they all have golf carts or 4-wheelers that they ride around on and that can get old quick. I would say that it is well worth the cost and if you needed a place to stay, worth giving them a shot.
ScoutHodgepodge mix of tent sites and long term motor homes on a creek which is nice . Owner is strange and will yell at clients blaming them of chopping down trees when they haven’t or other false claims.
GuideWhat a hidden gem Camp Capapon, is. This is exactly my idea of camping. Beautiful place, tucked in the woods, right next to the river. The RV campsite is spacious, private, shaded, and with full hook-ups. The RV spot is perfect, so leveled all you have to do is shock your wheels. We brought our kayaks and got them on the river for some time. The scenery will take your breath away. I just fell in love with the place and will be back. Mr. Sullivan was very accommodating, helpful and responsive. Pet friendly, Wifi is provided, and the facilities are in pristine conditions. What else could you ask for???? I'm having mixed feelings about reviewing the place, because I want it all to myself, lol, no but seriously, do yourself a favor and take a trip here, you will not regret it.
GuideThe best thing about this Thousand Trails campground is it’s proximity to Gettysburg and all attractions! The Campground is old and a bit rundown. Sites are small and tight and some are at strange angles. They do have FHU and 30/50 amp. There are many amenities and a large swimming pool which is great for families. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We would stay here again if visiting the area.

LegendThis place is right outside the gate of Harpers Ferry NP. We walked to the shuttle bus stop. It is a very large KOA, and was almost empty when we visited in September. The original site the gave us had a large rut and washed out spot, so we could not get level. I checked in the office and the reassigned another space that was much better. Full hook ups, nice clean shower and bathrooms, playground, pool, large dog park.
TravelerSites look to be semi private in alot of pictures but that isnt the case. We had a full hook up with our 15ft travel trailer. Pretty tight even with my Tacoma. Playground was nice.
Site did not have a fire ring/ cooking grate. Just a pile of rocks. This is a bare minimum IMO but the office said you need a premium site for that lol.
Had a great time with the family in Gettysburg. Definitely going back just not sure if we will be staying at the KOA or not…
TravelerBeautiful location right on the river. Meticulously maintained campground. Plenty of space for relaxing experience. Only two RV sites yet full hook up which is a rare find. Just 20 minutes outside of town for dog friendly restaurants such as Lot 12 and Beddylou’s
Highly recommend
