McCoys Ferry Campground

Nice federal campground. Sites are somewhat close together and the tow path is in view so not very private. Many of the sites have shade. Non-potable water available in season at a manual pump, the sign says to filter or boil water before consuming. There is only one way into the park which has a tunnel with a clearance of 10'3" so no big rigs. This park is on a wide, calm section of the Potomac with lots of boat activity. Swimming at your own risk. No trash receptacles so take all your trash with you. Bring firewood, not much downed wood to be had. One group site is available which looks very nice. We enjoyed our time here and would come back.

A hidden gem. When you pull through the tunnel & come out on the other side to a green, park-like area, boat launch, & parking lot it's a surprise. The campsites are decently sized n run along either side on the single lane road that leads back to a single, large, group campsite. Sites have a picnic table, fire ring, and standing grill box. One side of the road is waterfront but all sites have a view of the River. There's a water pump & 2 port-a-pots mid-camp & a single Handicap latrine at the boat launch parking lot, all were very clean when we were there. Just on the other side of the tunnel before you come in is a local that sells firewood n will deliver it to your site for a fair price. This is my 3rd yr camping here with our Boy Scouts & we always have had a positive experience. Do note that the trains run during the night and sound as though they are running THROUGH your tent, lol.

Great campsites on the bank of the Potomac and right next to the C&O canal towpath. $10 a night, porta potties and water are provided. A picnic table , fire pit and charcoal grill in each campsite. So much wildlife, owls, woodpeckers, cormorants. Even a boat launch. There's a sweet couple who sell firewood and deliver it to your campsite, look for the phone number before the entrance.

Nice place to camp. There are trains on both sides of the Potomac river so if you’re good with that then you’re set. Camp sites are close so your neighbors are everything. Restrooms are clean. Some campsites are better than others you will have to gauge for yourself. Well worth the adventure. Second time here. Will be back.

It's on the river. It's quiet and very pretty this time of year. There is potable water by a hand pump for cooking and cleaning just bring something to put the water in. We used a empty 5 gallon water bottle. We're on the group camp site that can fit 30 people there is only 15 of use so there is a lot of space. The single camp sites are nice to. There are sites with small campers on it and still plenty of room.
