Water pump didn't work. Can dip your feet in the river after a long day on the trail
Fairly standard C&O Canal campsite, but I'd say a 3 of 5 for river access. Hard to spot from the rive and no easy way up to it without some scrambling. I'd prefer C&O to have a little more river side access for paddler like myself.
Nice campsite, very remote. Plenty of sycamores, black walnut trees, and boxelders.
