100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
This beautiful campsite is nestled in the forest and borders the C and O Canal. Located near the midpoint of the canal, it is a great staging area for biking to Harpers Ferry, Shepardstown, or Williamsport. The site is flat and large enough for the whole family. A designated fire pit, picnic table, hand washing station, and portable toilet are on site. The site is a short walk to the Potomac River, it is not directly on the river. We offer cruiser bike rentals for easy riding. For history enthusiasts; we are 28 minutes from Antietam National Battlefield, 30 minutes from Fort Frederick and, 48 minutes from Harpers Ferry. For hiking enthusiasts; in addition to the C and O Canal, we are within 35 minutes of several Appalachian Trail access points and various state and national parks: including Greenbrier, Cunningham Falls, Catoctin, Washington MonumentThis beautiful campsite is nestled in the forest and borders the C and O Canal.

Perfect small family get away
I had a wonderful time at the C&O Camping Club! The weather muddied things up a bit but the hosts were so hospitable and accommodating! There’s a cart to help you bring your things to camp which is super helpful and the river is only a short hike away. I felt very safe and things were secluded enough to feel like I had my own private camp. Porta potty was clean and the fire pit is great, especially if you like to cook on the fire. My sister and niece had a wonderful time as well. We explored the river bank and walked along the C&O towpath quite a bit. Saw a variety of wildlife. Super relaxing once the weather cleared up. Thanks again so much, Stephenie!

The campsite was tidy and had everything I needed! Just steps away from the tow path and the river. I felt welcomed and got a great tour as soon as I arrived. Definitely recommend this site!

Perfect for camping in Nature!
Perfect spot for camping if you’re looking to get away and explore nature. Stephanie and Tim were great hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. I plan on coming back to this spot at least a couple times a year.

Lovely Fall Camping Spot!
Such a sweet getaway - loved how close it was to the bike route on the canal. Campsite was well groomed, port-a-potty was quite clean. The walk from the car is not super far, and the provided wagon was helpful. We paid extra for firewood, which was waiting for us at the fire pit after being welcomed by our host. The campsite is private, but you can still see the houses from the site, so I wouldn’t say it felt secluded. We definitely want to come back!

Absolute Hidden Gem!!
If your looking for the perfect spot with incredible guests who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome on their land, look no further!! Came here for 2 nights with some high school buddies for a reunion and Stephanie and Tim could not have been more incredible, Tim showed us around the property and Stehanie gave us fresh cut flowers and veggies/ herbs from the garden. We were able to rent some kayaks and SUPs and spent the weekend lounging by the water and hanging by the fire. We have officially decided this will be the reunion camping trip spot for years to come. Thanks again Tim, Stehanie (and Luna!) we look forward to coming back :-)

Wonderful site as described so well in the description and reviews! What a gem - amazing location with a short walk to the Potomac and C&O trail. Tim and Steph are thoughtful hosts, expert maple syrup makers and have set up a beautiful camp site. Our family had a memorable time - we look forward to returning!
