Bathhouse with hot showers, dump station, picnic tables, and fire pits; some long-term RV sites. Six basic cabins are rented separately and do not take pets. Two-night minimum on Friday and Saturday nights. Campers get a discount on the outfitter's rafting, tubing, and paddling trips; Harpers Ferry and Antietam are within half an hour. Open late March to early November.
