Overall, the Antietam Creek Campground was nice and well-maintained. Spent two nights there with my scout troop. The facilities are on par with other campgrounds, but getting water was a haul because we were at the far end from the pump. Fortunately, we had plenty of able-bodied scouts with us to fetch water 😂. The major downside were the nut trees: black walnut and another I couldn't identify. The ground was littered with nuts, and they dropped randomly the entire time we were there. Another adult with our troop took a small one to the head, but he was ok. I don't think much can could be done about it, though; I'd hate to see perfectly good trees cut down over that. O

Grassy area for pitching tents. Picnic table and fire ring. The water well and pump are at the north end of the campground. Bathrooms in the middle. Some access to the river.

I stayed at camp 7 and it was comfy, near the latrines and on the Potomac river. Gnats were horrific this time of year, I'd recommend some bug repellent for the day time, night was pleasant and quiet overall. They had a BBQ station, picnic table in good shape, and a small and large fire pit in this one. Perfect for a group to gather at. These are walk-ins but for this Adv rider it wasn't difficult to find a path in on the bike trail with respect and slow speed.

Lovely campground right on the banks of the Potomac. Definitely off the beaten path, but well maintained. Access can be a pain with the Canal between the road parking and the sites, so bring a cart or wheelbarrow.

Great for primitive camping near Harpers Ferry. Some campsites have access to the river. We had site 4 which had a nice spot for a hammock along the River. I hear sites 18 & 19 also have decent access. Plenty of shade in the spacious sites. Note that there are no showers. The biggest drawback for this campground is the most direct access to many of the sites from street parking is through a steep ditch with no stairs. You can go around on the bike path, but it could add some distance to your trek with all your gear.

Antietam is a primitive campsite (no water other than one pump for the camp, no garbage disposal [carry in/carry out] and outhouses and vault toilets, no electricity) along the the historic and beautiful Potomac River. If you're out that way and have a tent to pitch and are self-sufficient, it's a great place to stop. Tons of stuff to see and do nearby. We found this campsite on accident when we headed down to see the B & O Canal, so we didn't have reservations. Gary, the camp host, figured out a way to accommodate us and is the nicest camp host we've ever met. Great tips for where else to go camping, hiking and sight seeing and just a genuinely kind person.

Nice and peaceful. Jerry is a kind and hospitable host. A bit of a hike from car to site, but a terrific value.

It's well maintained and right on the river. Hard to beat for some relaxing in a tent.

Had a great time camping with kids at Antietam Creek. It's a beautiful setting & the camp host was friendly & helpful. Not a lot of amenities here, but as long as you know that going in you'll enjoy it.
