Have enjoyed stopping here during my recent walk on the towpath on October 27th. The campsite 🏕 is well maintained, organized and taken care of by superintendent Kevin Brandt and his super awesome staff and crew. It is located about a half mile east of the historic whites Ferry.
I was surprised there wasn't a dead body in port-a-potty ... I went in and puked a little in my mouth. It looked like a goat bowels went crazy in there ...

A good place to enjoy Virginia bluebells and lots of wild flowers along the C&O Canal Towpath from early/mid April. Park at White's Ferry parking lot, walk toward south east direction for about half to one mile
