Passenger and freight trains are constant. Water pump handle was missing but still managed to get the water. Grill was rusted away and in pieces but no one uses those. River access is amazing.

Pan-gap-c&o June 2020

Nice area to camp. Pump not working, no water available. Excellent but small beach area.

Large campsite, access to the water, the water pump is super hard (only pump at the bottom of the swing and it goes better) and there is a fire area.

Nice open campground close to Point of Rocks but trains run by every so often and it is very loud. At the time of writing, water pump is functional, and porta toilet is clean

Slept here on a tour of the C&O Canal in 2016. The site is like most others on the C&O with a Porta Potty, water pump, picnic table, and fire ring.

The problem with this site is it's directly across from active rail lines that have freight, Amtrak, and MARC trains running all night long. Because of it's proximity to towns the trains are required to blast their horns as they pass the intersections. Be sure to bring earplugs!
