Brunswick Family Campground saved our entire trip — and just like that, we found our new home campground.
We had a booking error at our usual KOA — showed up Thursday ready to camp through the weekend and found out I'd accidentally booked for July. We'd just spent $200 on groceries. I started calling every campground near Harpers Ferry and Brunswick was the second call I made. They got us into a cabin immediately, for our exact dates, no hassle.
We came with pool floats planning on a typical tubing trip — no pool here, but we didn't need one. We walked down to the boat ramp about a mile and a half away, put our floats in the Potomac, and spent hours on the river. We tethered off, had lunch, had drinks, and had an absolute blast both Friday and Saturday. The best part? We floated directly back to the campsite. No shuttles, no coordinating rides — just float home.
What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the best camping weekends we've had. A 47-year-old mom, her 23-year-old daughter and boyfriend, and her 18-year-old son — and everyone left happy.
This is our spot now. We'll be back

Beautiful campsite and great river access! Unfortunately, our tent flooded badly and we needed to leave in the middle of the night. However, a lovely worker, I think his name was Keith, came to help us take down our tent and such around 11pm in the dark, saving us SO much time. Great service and beautiful campgrounds, wish we had more time there!

The staff at Brunswick Family Campground was super friendly and helpful, and Patty, the large group coordinator for River and Trail Outfitter, was ultra professional. Our large church youth group - with 150 young men and adult leaders - had a wonderful time here. The camping area was clean, had plenty of fire rings and picnic tables, and remained shady within a beautiful setting. Bugs were at a minimum, and the area was well maintained, including a very clean bathhouse. Patrons seemed to observe quiet hours. The campsite is conveniently located along the C&O Canal and near Harper's Ferry. The only drawback was the nearby trainyard, and the sound of locomotives began early in the morning. Recommendation: bring ear plugs for sleeping.

Camp ground was great. Staff were friendly. Nice little camp store on site. Bathrooms were always clean. Camp site big enough, with great view. Wasn't like other camp grounds where the partying and music are played all night long, so that was nice.

They do not enforce the quiet hour policies, so other campers will party loudly with music, bright lights, singing, breaking glass bottles, and loudly vomiting until 4am. We tried asking the other guests to please be quiet, but they didn’t care and simply ignored both the camp host and even the POLICE. The cops directly told us and the other annoyed campers that until the host gives the order, they can’t be stopped, so the campsite directly allowed this. An absolute shame that ruined the night for all other campers, just because the staff is spineless and scared of a little uncomfortable confrontation. So, if you want to disrespectfully party and scream well into the night while 50 feet away from sleeping children, this place is the spot, but otherwise if you actually want to sleep or just hear nature for even a minute, this is not suitable. I have stayed here repeatedly before but this will absolutely be the last.
