Our family rented 5 of the 6 cottages last weekend for a tribute to our late brother. He loved staying at Coles Point a long time ago, so it was perfect for us. The cottages were adorable and the view was amazing!!! Beach area was awesome for the kids!! The restaurant/bar was nice and convenient too. It was so great getting all the family together and having an awesome time!! Shout out to the office ladies Lea and Brittney, they were so nice!! Hopefully we will make this an annual event.

Great views, friendly staff at the store. Seems like they’re improving the place. Unfortunately, we found a lot of nails, screws, etc in the gravel using a roofing magnet around the sites. Naturally we got about 90 miles away and got a flat, had a screw in 2 of 4 trailer tires.

Went with a friend for the first time since it's opening on Mother's Day and was not impressed. I absolutely love Marina restaurants, but this one did not meet the mark. You usually like the outside deck at these restaurants for the view and the breeze, but all we got in the breeze was cigarette smoke. If you went inside, the area was sticky and hot. No service received and we got up and left and went to another marina where we received immediate service.

Great place on the water. Service and food were very good

We stayed here as part of an RV event over Labor Day Weekend. I had never been to an event like this before and was a little shocked when informed that we would be boon-docking. We ended having a great time and will likely do again (with more planning and preparation).
As for the site, Coles Point looks like it's past it's expiration. It's right off the Potomac River (great!), but it needs a lot of work. There must of been nearly 100 RV units on this property, all boon-docking.
(1) The bathroom facilities need to be upgraded (2 showers per sex), the water pressure was non-existent, and the showers were not cleaned. The water was hot, at least. My husband said the door on the men's shower did not even close properly (the door was too big!). I did not look into the toilet/sink section.
(2) The storefront needs more supplies. They had some fishing tackle, but no fishing line. A few snacks, but no basic staples that an RV'er might need: oil, sugar, salt, paper towels, paper plates, etc. They did appear to sell lots of ice. I would suggest propane too.
(3) Someone said the restaurant used to be a big thing. Now closed. We went to Walmart and it was a 45-min trip one-way. There is nothing in the area to eat or drink for miles. If available, I'm sure the RV'ers would gladly spend their money so as to not leave, but with no offerings, there is not much to recommend the resort.
(4) Due to the size of the event, planning should have been done to provide additional dumpsters to accommodate the amount of trash that was generated or have a mid-event dumpster pick-up. All the dumpsters were overflowing when everyone pulled out.
(5) The actual campground. People have been living there and in all such places, it begins to look run-down. It was described to me as "ghetto". People who camp don't generally want to RV beside people who live in an RV park as it becomes truly "lived in", especially in a expensive unit. It was overgrown, the structures were falling apart or needed to be painted, and it looked "bad".
I hope to see changes if we return next year, which we hopefully will. Good luck to the new owners because the site can be great for travelers.
