There are 3 campsites. A is off to the left in the woods while B and C are on opposite sides of a pond. Staying in Campsite C, we were secluded in our own little section. Our group was 4 people, and there was more than enough space for two tents There's a little path down to the pond from campsite C, and there may be from B as well, so sound travels across the pond. Not by very much, but you can definitely still hear people from the opposite side. Most of the noise you'll hear is from the frogs, though. The Spring Peppers croaked throughout the night. Someone spotted an Eastern Newt in the water back in April, so the pond is a nice spot to watch for amphibians. We hiked here from the Cedar Ridge Backcountry Campsite, so you really can have a great backpacking expedition on the way via the TVT. If you want a quick trip, you can park at the Welcome Center, and the hike in is only about 0.75 miles. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. This was my first backpacking trip, and I would recommend anyone stay at the Germantown Metropark backpacking sites.
