River Camp RV Full Hookup Site
Great weekend
Great weekend camping. Site was clean and exactly as described. Easy access to river where we put in kayaks and paddle boards. Chris sent us all the information we needed promptly. Would stay again!

overpriced (in my opinion)
i booked this trip because I wanted a private campsite away from any other campers. It's literally in somebodies front yard. we were kept up all night by traffic cause the site is right by a busy road. the site wasn't directly by the river, it was about 200 meters away from the parking and bath house on the other side of a road. there is a small area right by the river however we didn't set up a tent there cause we didn't want to have to carry all of our stuff back and forth.
honestly, my only complaint is that I paid a lot of money for a campsite that should've been about half the price. you're paying for a bathhouse in somebodies front yard. very noisy area on the weekends, nothing private about it. my friends were all disappointed with the trip and we left early.
in all fairness, the bathhouse was nice. however, I would have given it up to get one of the sites directly by the river. if you have an RV this is a decent place to camp. if you're in a tent I would not pay the same price
The host was responsive when I had questions. seemed like a nice guy.

Great spot to access city of Harpers Ferry and river activities! Can be noisy for tent camping given proximity to road, but plenty of space for multiple tents. River access for swimming is best to go past moulton park towards tubing businesses to a swimming hole that’s a quick drive and doable walking distance - take wooded trail to get to rocky outcrops for sunset views! Overall comfortable site and great location

This is not a $110 a nite campsite
Maybe it's me, or maybe it was the photos in ad. What I was expecting and what I saw when I arrived were two very different things. First, the photos gives the impression the campsite is right on the river bank - not so. The site is across the street and down a gravel drive which is almost invisible from the road. because the grass has grown over the gravel. A landmark or sign would have been helpful. econd, the river water at the "private kayak launch site" is stagnant with a top layer of pond scum. Fortunately there is a park on the water with a boat ramp down the street. No comms at all with Chris; there was no kayak and the touted Taj m'potty was locked. As mentioned by another reviewer, the black/gray tank dump is too far above the ground. There is no way the contents of the tanks would defy gravity to flow up and into the sewer pipe opening. The outside furniture was rustic and rusty, and the adjacent campsite (another owner I believe) 50 feet away looked like the trailer camp set where Ruth lives in "Ozarks." I had booked for five days but busted camp after two to find someplace better. I left $300 on the table but happy to take the loss to not stay there another 3 days.
My advice is beware. Ask Chris for some recent photos and a more realistic description of the campsite. If this was a $35 a nite campsite I would say you get what you pay for - but at $110 a nite, my expectations for paying a premium price were not met.

I cannot say enough about this trip. We had access to all hookups. We had a perfect fire pit and access to the river. We kayaked and cooked on-site and didn't want to leave the campsite. We recommend making the 10-mile drive to Harper's Ferry Brewing as well. Overall, it was a great area that I had not discovered before. The price was very reasonable as well.

We were a few tent campers on a quick weekend trip. Great mix of camping+convenience. The river is beautiful and lots of interesting terrain within an easy paddle. Bath house with fridge and A/C was very nice to have. Great communication from Chris. Can't wait to come back!
