Dahlgren Backpacker Campground

Five stars because having a hot shower while you're hiking on the Appalachian trail is magic! Nice bathrooms with power and showers. Campsites are gravel and drain well. We had a black bear run through our campsite in late July, but they've got poles for bear bags.

Stopped here for the night on our section hike of the Appalachian trail. It's a really nice campsite, places for tents and to hang hammocks. Several poles for the bear hang. Water is available, there is a utility sink. Best of all, there is a shower house with HOT water.. which was a total luxury after several slimy 100+ degree days of hiking. Everything looked clean and well cared for.

Spent the night while on a hiking trip. Plenty of space for tents. Had pizza delivered to us! The main thing I was impressed by was the BATH HOUSE. So super clean, great showers. Very very nice!

2nd weekend in April, and still on winter shutdown. No trash cans, no showers, no electric. Every tent pad and hammock area being used. Porta potty good to go. Pizza delivery at main road. Dozens of hikers checked it out, and pushed through.

Awesome little spot! Plenty of space for camping and 5 fire pits. Restrooms were stocked and cleaned, also have showers and clean water just a short walk from the building.
