23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after twelve hours of savage combat on September 17, 1862. The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North and led Abraham Lincoln to issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.

Reviews

Antietam National Battlefield campground offers well-maintained, spacious campsites with clean restroom facilities and a quiet environment close to historical sites. Campers appreciate the availability of firewood and the opportunity for activities like hiking and canoeing. However, the campground lacks potable water on site, and the terrain can be hilly with limited flat spots and some difficulty transporting equipment from parking areas. Clearer site markers and improved access to lower sites would enhance the experience.

Great spot to take youth. The upside is it is wide open, lots of space for them to run around. The downside is there aren't a whole lot of flat spots, but if you forget that, this is a great campground.

Lack of firewood and potable water is going to have our Troop looking at other options

The site was very nice, just make sure you have a wagon or something to transport your equipment from the parking lot to the campsite. It is a long distance with a hill, going in isn't too bad, but packing it out uphill was a little challenging as we had mainly very young scouts. The scout enjoyed the entire trip.

We had a good time. The latrines were nice and stocked. The site was as expected and within walking distance from the battlefield and within 20 minute drive from Walmart if you need anything.

Love that there is space between the campsites and enough space to run around. The boys really enjoyed that. I will note that it is not the flattest camping location, but that just added to the fun and stories. Thanks for having us.

Our pack and troop enjoyed a stay for two nights in campsite 1. We enjoyed a quiet camp, with ample space, and a clean restroom. Enjoyed our weekend!
