About
Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA
The Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA is a fantastic vacation destination spot that's perfect for the whole family. Thanks to you, this year we received the 2016 KOA PRESIDENT'S AWARD. That means our campground facilities and camper satisfaction scores are some of the best around. We are making things even better in 2017! Our Specialty Coffee and Wine Store, GRAPES & GRINDS, has been a popular place for morning specialty coffees and afternoon wine tastings. Check our deluxe cabins with bathrooms and some with kitchens too! As always, our jumping pillow and giant inflatable are a hit with the kids.
And, as always, we still have all of the fun stuff you've come to love about our campground, like our junior Olympic Swimming Pool, Indoor and Outdoor Basketball Courts, Volleyball, Horseshoes, Game Room, Bark Zone Dog Park, and all-you-can-eat pancakes in season. So make your plans now to come and make some history all your own. See you soon!

Alot to do
We stayed in a cabin here, was alittle pricey but worth it. Toddler had a blast with all the activites. and its located close enough to everything
Great family camping
We come to this campground every year for Halloween camping. Staff is friendly and actually seem to enjoy their jobs. The free pancakes on the weekends are a must! Lots for the kids to do and a wine tasting on saturdays for the adult.
Awesome campground
Great location, clean, big pool, mini golf a little run down and bounce house is broken, but jump area was great for kids. Close to tubing and rafting.
Camp here!
Tent camped here last Labor Day weekend. Site was a good size. Fantastic KOA. Tons of things to do for our 9 year old!
A really wonderful KOA
This is one of the best KOA campsites I've stayed at. It has a really nice store, plenty of modern camping amenities. Awesome hiking trails & is ideally located for outdoor enthusiasts to explore the surrounding area…
Mother's day weekend camping trip
We enjoyed many different activities during our stay. It was great that they provided a nice pancake breakfast free of charge.
It's what you expect
The benefit of a brand, whether Hilton, Motel 6, or KOA, is knowing there will be a certain level of consistency. If KOAs and similar campgrounds work for your group, then this is probably a very good one. People have different preferences about camping, there is something out there for everyone, and "to each his own." KOA-style campgrounds are not my thing, but that is about my personal preference. I ended up at this campground because the national and state parks I had hoped to visit were already fully booked, so I made do in a pinch.
This campground appeared well-maintained, garbage and recycling areas were easy to find, and bathrooms were clean. I find the prices at these campgrounds to be very high for a single person or couple (as much or more than a cheap hotel room), but can see the affordability if traveling with a large family or group. The sites are right on top of each other, so there is no privacy or quiet. The weekend I was there was a busy one with lots of noise from adjacent kids and a large group of bikers. For families, there seemed to be many activities for kids and a swimming pool. As with most tourist destinations, the gift shop will set you back a pretty penny but they have a large range of items from knick-knacks to local beer and the things one might forget or need in a pinch.
I had to drive to get into the town of Harper's Ferry and to do an easy hike and swim, but it is well worth leaving the campground to see the area, which is quite scenic and historic.
