We decided to give this campground a try..and we wish we would not have. Like the other reviews on here, it is a small town operated campground that needs a whole lot of work, and new management. At first we thought it was going to be a quiet out of the way place. That soon changed!!!! They let people stay for months at a time and let me tell you they are trouble makers. The rules say so booze, but they sure walk around with it. They take reservations, but when you get there, they have changed your site on you. We were to get a nice shaded site, but they changed us, and then someone else came and tried setting up on our site. When we went to management about it, she said if you don't like it move or leave! We battled it out for our couple days. In that time there was fireworks going off at night, drunks getting into a fight down on the rivers edge, a person who lives in his trailer for months there is allowed his 4 wheeler and got it stuck on the river bank, the bathrooms were so nasty we had no choice to use our own. The dumpstation needed much aprovement. My what a mess of a park. You think the town would at least try to clean the place up. Oh yea...don't think you can buy wood.. unless you have money to burn. A handfull will cost you 20 bucks. We will NEVER stay here and would never would recommend this park to someone else. I am writting a letter to the mayor about this campground. It should be ran better, cleaned up or closed for good. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I enjoyed our stay. But the one thing the owners need to address is the lamp post lights. The lights obviously have sensors but they did not stay on or stay off. The whole night they came on for 1 minute or so then stayed off for a minute or so. The light should either stay on at night or off. We did not get a good night's sleep both days we were there. This was not the only lamp post that was like this. We walked the campgrounds and saw several the same way. I will recommend and stay again providing the lights are fixed. We camped here in a Tent.

Overall this is a nice park. The kids had fun which surprised me. It is more of a toughing it out campground, but it depends on what you're looking for. The kids want go back; ages are 15, 13 and 8. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As another user mentioned this is ran by the local government, and you would think it would be kept up more than it is. First off, the town you have to go through to get to the campground is REALLY narrow and small roads with cars parked on both sides of the street. We just barely made it through, sometimes crossing into the other lane. Then there is a steep hill where again cars are parked all along the sides and you have to turn right at an intersection. Then you have to cross some REALLY rough railroad tracks that jars you to death. Okay..we though the worse was over... then next comes the narrow dirt and small gravel road full of huge potholes. There is no way you can pass another rig. We managed to get over enough so a few small cars could pass. When we got there at 3pm there was NO one at the office. You had to wait till the next morning before someone was around. The plus to this campground is it is located near the river. The shaded sites are way to small for big rigs, and are mostly for pop ups or tents. The sites for big rigs and travel trailers are just grass sites, with electric and water hookups. Most are out in the open with no shade at all. The bathrooms were some of the worst we have ever seen! My husband would not even go to the bathroom in there. That is saying something! The showerhouse and bathrooms are together in one big red building. They stunk so bad you could smell them before you got to them. The inside was all torn up and not cared for. There was all sorts of writings on the wall. The showers where so dirty we used the one we had in our trailer. The train traffic as BAD. Could not sleep cause of it. We stayed here one night until we found there was a nearby KOA and moved there for the rest of our stay. All we can say is this campground could be nice if there were LOTS of work done. We will never go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is maintained by the city of Brunswick and is "rustic" in many respects. It sits on the Potomac and has a boat launch site available. Lots of trees or open sites are available. In addition to the 65 RV sites, there is room for "300" tent sites. (That would be crowding it). There is only one bath house and that is a long walk for the group tenters. Though no sewer hookups, there is a dump station available. All sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. The downside starts when you approach the campground. Town roads can be narrow (it's an old town) and some parts are steep. You cross two sets of railroad tracks to get to the C&O Canal towpath which is about .75 miles of gravel road to the campground. HOWEVER, the railroad tracks are active and the trains travel through and stop to hook up in the yard all night. Can you get used to it? Maybe, but be warned. You are not so close as to be a danger to children (and there is a playground on the campground for young ones) but between the river and the tracks, keep a close watch on the wandering 5-9 year old. Staff is wonderful and will go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. There is the C&O canal to hike or bike, the City of Brunswick has some great small eateries (and a wonderful coffee house in an old church with scrumptious desserts), and a museum to railroads (admission fee) with a huge HO gauge replica of the town in its heyday. You are close to Harpers Ferry for history or rafting and a short drive to Sharpsburg battle field (Antietam for the North). I rated this a 6 due to one bath house, no sewer hook ups or 50 amp, lack of phone/modem/cable/WiFi and most of all the train noise at night. All that being said, the alternatives are not great. The next closest campground is a KOA in Harpers Ferry at twice the price. (They have an entry in WV.) Would we go back? Yes, to see more of Harpers Ferry, try a rafting trip and have more coffee and desserts at Beans in the Belfry. OK, the noise will bother us, but after being outside all day, we can probably sleep through it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great time at this campground. Granted the hump over the railroad made the back end of the motorhome scrape the road. That always worries me. The tow path is narrow but we had no problems. There's only one bath house but it seemed clean, only a few shower mates I noticed (daddy-long legs). No big deal. The view was fantastic, and the help of the campground manager was absolutely great. It's run by the town of Brunswick. Oh, yes, we'll be back every fall; the KOA in Harpers Ferry has lost our business forever!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
