GuideLimited space
As far as the Potomac, this HBO site is one of the closest. That being said, there is very little space to set up a tent unless you want to sleep on a slope. There's a well and a pump but the pump handle is missing so it's a workout getting water. The site is about a 3-5 minute walk from lock 53.
LegendGreat place!!!
Really loved this campground! Had a blast with my family here on a family reunion trip. Here are a few things I loved about this place:
1. Hiking- some gorgeous hikes nearby!! The views are amazing, and the trails are in great condition. My pup loved these hikes, too!
2. Campsite is clean! Nothing makes me happier than a clean campsite. There are dumpsters where you can dump your trash which I think helps a ton! There is also a picnic table and fire ring. We enjoyed making s’mores at night and sitting around the campsite! Also the campsite spots are well separated. We didn’t feel like we were right on top of each other.
3. Biking trail- we brought our mountain bikes and enjoyed some great biking with the family and dog!
4. Road was great to the campsite. We have been to a few campgrounds where the road leading to the place is horrible and needs high clearance. This wasn’t the case.
If you go during the summer, definitely bring bug spray. We had some and used the whole bottle because the mosquitos were so bad!!
