{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Potomac camping

Aden -

I've done this one time, at the Swain's Lock (#21) campground. It's an unremarkable but totally solid camping spot, with sites for probably 6 or 7 groups. When I went I had no trouble finding a spot.

They have running water and a few porta-johns up by the canal, although the NPS site currently has a not saying "water is unavailable until further notice", so I'm not sure what the deal is with that.

Here's a bit more info:

The coolest thing about these campgrounds IMO is that they are accessible via a reasonable bike ride from downtown DC, so I was able to leave my house in Mt. Pleasant by bike and get to a place to camp in about 1.5 hours. When I went the Potomac was really high but i still had a good time picking off bluegills in the canal.

Would be curious to explore some of the spots further out.

Has anybody ever gone camping at Seneca breaks?
How about any of the other campgrounds on the C and O canal
