Are you looking for a flat campsite, a silent train less evening, and plenty of firewood to forage? If so, then keep looking because this isn’t the place for you. It worked for us, but was a bit more work to make it comfortable than we wanted after a 65 mile day.

I stayed at Little Pool in the fall of 2024 as part of a long distance bike trip. The site is reasonable with a lot of large open space with a couple of large trees in the center. Tents are simple, hammock users may have to search around a bit. The site is actually one of the larger ones with plenty of room for a lot of campers. Like all C&O free sites the water is non-potable, but the pump worked and can be converted simply to potable water without much effort. There is good access to the river at the site and the views are pretty nice.

We were about to have a seat on a log, but there was what I think is called a copperhead in a branch above the log.

Place is nice clean and level. I improved river access somewhat, but would love to see the NPS set these up for better from water access. Views are great, lots of firewood for now, great hammock trees and the pond next to it is fun to fish. Really a great site. Only 4 stars because I feel water access could be better.

Nice campsite. Plenty of space. Far enough away from roads / parking to keep the weekend warrior party crowd and obnoxious National Lampoon's Summer Vacation Clark Griswold types away.
