We stayed on a site by the river and it was absolutely amazing for our group of 13! We brought kayaks and bikes - and EVERYONE loved the weekend. Donelly was amazing - and the site was stunning! We highly recommend driving up to Frostburg and biking the 18 miles back to the campsite through Cumberland β€” it’s 1400 ft decline, 49 ft incline β€” you barely have to pedal and the scenery is worth it. We only showered once at the other campsite - and it was hot and clean. The ports potty on our site was pristine. Overall - everything was perfect and we’ll definitely be back!

A beautiful site next to the River about 2 miles down the towpath from the GAP-C&O junction. Great ending point on my DC to Cumberland C&O bikepacking trip. However, there are no showers and only one water spigot. The single porta-potty was clean. All together, $25 a night is a bit steep for what you get.

Cheap, nice view, not worth dealing with the owner. Poor communication and very rude. Kinda scary. Read other reviews before booking. My friends stayed here last night. Poor communication sent them to the wrong campsite at which they were confronted with a gate. Choice A: open the gate and turn around on the loop to go back to the right other campsite they were supposed to be at... Also owned by the same people. Choice B: Back their 43' long butt down the extremely narrow road the had just driven down. Obviously choice A. Which they told the owners when they arrived at the correct site. The following morning they get a call from owner telling them he went down to the other site at 2:30a.m. and said he saw ruts in the road and that he was coming to call the cops and have them thrown in jail. You get what you pay for. But you might want to spend a few extra bucks...I would at least take the time to read a few more reviews on this place before booking.

I called on a Sunday for a reservation for one night. We are traveller's, so mostly last minute. A man answered the phone and I asked him if he had a site available. I also asked for a full hookup, told him when we would arrive and gave him our name. He answered yes to everything. When we got there, the whole campground was shut down.. nothing was there, no seasonal, NOTHING. Just an empty field. I called the number again and got phone mail that said they were out of town. Don't waste your time calling. Oh, and they changed the name as well.

Never been so uncomfortable at a camp!! No privacy at all the old man that owns the place acts like you're an inconvenient to him , he spent as much time in my site as I did !! Stayed 30 days to lay a friend to rest was looking for some piece n quite to reflect but this guy was drove through my sight 8 ta 12 times a day😑 The wife is a nice lady how she puts up w him I don't know. The place isn't what you expected from the description!!! The store has no affiliation with campground, the showers are 2 Potts that let ya do everything at once if ya like that kinda thing. The location is next to interstate 68 and the trucks run all night ! I could only recommend a stay here if you don't have any other choice then get out asap!!!!πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž
