Absolutely amazing campground!
12 ft rooftop tent · With kids · First off, Taylor’s Landing is awesome! We brought a small Scout troop who had a blast. The river and rope swing and floaties were great. The local cave (bring a flashlight!) is about 1.5mi north along the Towpath (you won’t miss it) and was cool! The campsite itself was peaceful and the train noise was faint. The firepit was brick and did not have a grill top (bring your own). You could occasionally hear people on the Towpath, but not annoyingly so. Portapots were clean and stocked with TP and hand sanitizer. The afternoon sun was warm in August (river is east, sun sets over the hill), but the sunshade was perfect. We also went to the Crystal Grottos which was pricey but worth it!
But, there are a few things to know. First, there is a VERY STEEP gravel hill to get to the lower sites. My AWD truck has off-road tires and was skidding a bit. A FWD car (minivan) had a super hard time going up to exit, even when bone dry (5-6x before success). I’d hesitate to try without 4WD/AWD. And I’d be very nervous with a trailer or tow camper. But you can use the Hilltops or park on the main road and walk down. Second, to get to the Potomac itself, you scramble down the old (dry) C&O and up the other side, cross the Towpath, then scramble down very steep steps to the river. Those with mobility issues won’t make it. It’s a primitive site: bring all your own water (drinking and clean up).
We will ABSOLUTELY come back, although Hilltops only unless everyone has 4WD/AWD!
