Amazing spot right on the river!
RIGHT ON THE RIVER: This is such a great camping spot - right on the river where you can float, swim, and listen to the running water at all times of the day in the cleanest water I’ve seen in the DMV.
PLENTY OF SPACE: The campsites were the largest I’ve ever seen, plenty of privacy (we didn’t hear another person or car the entire time) & room for tents and trucks (we had 3 tents, 8 people, and 3 4x4s - I would only drive into the sites with 4x4s, although there is general parking a 5 minute walk from the sites). The outhouse was spotless and I couldn’t believe how clean it was. Fire-pit was large and well-maintained, and picnic table was exactly what we needed.
BREEZY AND PLENTY OF SHADE: We went in the middle of July, but the shade and river made it truly perfect, where we were not overheated in 90 degree weather, especially throughout the night.
NOT BUGGY: Bugs next to the river were not bad at all, recommend bug spray, but as someone who has a very low bug/mosquito tolerance, I was very pleased with only two bites the whole weekend.
RESPONSIVENESS: David was so pleasant and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and went out of his way to get us settled in and answer our questions over the Hipcamp chat all weekend.
WILDLIFE: We saw 30 ducks floating down the river at once (super cool to see), crawdads, and butterflies. Really got the whole nature experience.
We will definitely be back, our new favorite spot in the DMV area!!!
