McCoys Ferry Campground

"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."

"Great camping spot for a weekend getaway. Quiet when the train isn't going past on either side of the river. Beware there are no facilities other than the porta johns and the vented toilet at the parking lot (the porta johns were cleaner). Bring your own hand sanitizer and water. Even though there is a hand pump there, it has been known to miss the handle at times. Also, the entrance to the park is a slight right into a dirt road from the main road. If you keep going straight you go into a dead end. It's not marked very well so you might need to turn around to come back to the entrance. The tunnel you pass through is really fun as well. It's a one lane tunnel so take your time to make sure someone isn't coming through on the other side."

"Great Place. Quiet and clean. Only downside is they got mobile toilets. But good thing, they were clean."

"I love the layout of this campground. The campground is always clean. They added some very nice picnic tables. A grill and a firepit are on each site. Overflow parking is available and porta potty's. No water or electricity. Bring your own. Pack in ,pack out. Most importantly. Leave no trace! My friends and I gave tribute to a fellow camper that passed away suddenly. It was 27 degrees the last night. We were ready, though. RIH Alona"

"Nice campground. Sites are right by the river, although only Sites 1 and 3 actually have direct water view - the others on the water are too overgrown in the summer. No access to the river directly from campsites, but the nearby boat ramp is well maintained (albeit steep). Each site has a fire ring, a separate grill, and a picnic table. The campground has one vault toilet that is intermittently cleaned, plus port-a-potties. There is a potable water pump that works sometimes but is horribly loud (especially when your site neighbors use it at 5 am…), so best to bring your own water along with your own toilet paper. Easy enough to do, since you can pull your car right up to your campsite. Lots of river traffic during the day and early evening, as a gathering spot for boats is located just north of the campground. Trains pass on both sides of the river, and they can be pretty loud. It doesn’t last long, though. Easy access to the C&O Canal towpath, perfect for a hike or to bike. Easy access to the river for fishing and boating. There appears to be no on-site registration for the campground. Make reservations online at Recreation.gov."
