Cool structure! Nice section of C&O to walk.
One of the better campsites, whenever I felt like I needed it, I simply walked down to the riverbank to clear my mind. I camped here in September of 2017 though, at the time the area was very, very sweltering.
Kayaking down from Point of Rocks, a great place to stop and enjoy the history of Monocacy Aquaduct and gorgeous sunset upriver. The firewood was already set up and all we needed was a match for a wonderful campfire and dinner. Good water and facilities. My grandson loved it as well.
Great view of the river. Issues with raccoons - mostly my fault cause I stuck my food in my bivy sack, so they poked a few holes in my fly net. Also, the water pump doesn’t work. Once the last two issues are dealt with, it’s just a great free campsite.
An acceptable campsite that has iodine-treated water from well, a chemical toilet and a pair of fire rings. It could likely accommodate up to 20 campers. Very convenient for bike-packing campers, but since it is so close to two different road access points I would not recommend it for weekend camping since there will guaranteed be a crowd in warmer months. Bike-packers headed out of town on the C and O should go the extra 8 kilometres to the next campground.
