Walk in Free

It’s a small walk to the tent only sites right off the C & O Canal which is heavily used by bikes and walkers. It sets down from the canal trail while the portapotty is right on the trail. The sites have breathing room and it’s on the Potomac River but it feels really odd to camp with so much activity passing by. There were a couple drunk or drugged young adults that were fighting that made it pretty intolerable. The Park police had to come and calm them down.
