This was a great place to stay while enjoying some tubing/ kayaking on the Shenandoah river! Chris was a gracious host, who met us upon arrival, and gave us the lay of the land. He was generous enough to offer the use of his kayaks. We spent the day lounging in some tubes floating the river from the private river access. The full hookups for our camper were great to have. There is a nice little bathhouse as well.

overall we had a great time! unfortunately the water wasn’t working so we couldn’t hookup or shower, but we were able to hookup to electricity and use the toilet. location was great, right next to the river and close to downtown. hopefully the water will be good for the next person but it was still a good time!

Great weekend

Great weekend camping. Site was clean and exactly as described. Easy access to river where we put in kayaks and paddle boards. Chris sent us all the information we needed promptly. Would stay again!

overpriced (in my opinion)

Tent · Group trip

i booked this trip because I wanted a private campsite away from any other campers. It's literally in somebodies front yard. we were kept up all night by traffic cause the site is right by a busy road. the site wasn't directly by the river, it was about 200 meters away from the parking and bath house on the other side of a road. there is a small area right by the river however we didn't set up a tent there cause we didn't want to have to carry all of our stuff back and forth. honestly, my only complaint is that I paid a lot of money for a campsite that should've been about half the price. you're paying for a bathhouse in somebodies front yard. very noisy area on the weekends, nothing private about it. my friends were all disappointed with the trip and we left early. in all fairness, the bathhouse was nice. however, I would have given it up to get one of the sites directly by the river. if you have an RV this is a decent place to camp. if you're in a tent I would not pay the same price The host was responsive when I had questions. seemed like a nice guy.

Tent · Group trip

Great spot to access city of Harpers Ferry and river activities! Can be noisy for tent camping given proximity to road, but plenty of space for multiple tents. River access for swimming is best to go past moulton park towards tubing businesses to a swimming hole that’s a quick drive and doable walking distance - take wooded trail to get to rocky outcrops for sunset views! Overall comfortable site and great location

This is not a $110 a nite campsite

36 ft travel trailer · Group trip

Maybe it's me, or maybe it was the photos in ad. What I was expecting and what I saw when I arrived were two very different things. First, the photos gives the impression the campsite is right on the river bank - not so. The site is across the street and down a gravel drive which is almost invisible from the road. because the grass has grown over the gravel. A landmark or sign would have been helpful. econd, the river water at the "private kayak launch site" is stagnant with a top layer of pond scum. Fortunately there is a park on the water with a boat ramp down the street. No comms at all with Chris; there was no kayak and the touted Taj m'potty was locked. As mentioned by another reviewer, the black/gray tank dump is too far above the ground. There is no way the contents of the tanks would defy gravity to flow up and into the sewer pipe opening. The outside furniture was rustic and rusty, and the adjacent campsite (another owner I believe) 50 feet away looked like the trailer camp set where Ruth lives in "Ozarks." I had booked for five days but busted camp after two to find someplace better. I left $300 on the table but happy to take the loss to not stay there another 3 days. My advice is beware. Ask Chris for some recent photos and a more realistic description of the campsite. If this was a $35 a nite campsite I would say you get what you pay for - but at $110 a nite, my expectations for paying a premium price were not met.
