Rohrbach Group Campground

This is a nice, beautiful site and very close to Sharpsburg and the Antietam battlefield. You'll be camping in large areas of mowed grass. The latrines are relatively nice and sturdy, though they are in the parking lot and some sites are relatively far away. Tough walk if you have to go in the middle of the night! I give this one 4 stars because there's no water on site and no pavilion or cover for when the weather turns bad. They ask you not to forage for firewood but they do provide some. You might want to bring your own kindling. It's a very pretty little space but I think next time we come to Sharpsburg we'll look for a site with running water so we don't have to drive off site for water.

Great campground! Lots of parking and relatively clean out house! Tons of space for tents and there's a fire pit. I went there with my troop and it was a great experience we hiked to the battlefield and explored the monuments. We came back and had dinner then we played manhunt... First round was fine and I won then I was it along with two other people. It was pitch black and I was just a wee bit freaked out. 20 minuts into the game and we havent found anyone when we were by the far end of the campsite by the creek when we heard a bunch of turkeys getting attacked or something. Just dont play manhunt there.😁

Rohrback is great for scout troops looking for an inexpensive option to stay near the battlefield. You can easily hike to the bridge or national cemetery (where there is a separate Jr Ranger program!). The battlefield is pretty far so you will want to drive. While in town be sure to check out Nutters Ice Cream (cash only but totally worth it) and drive up to High Rock (no bathrooms) officially on Smithsburg to get the coolest birds eye view around. Bring swim shorts and you can cool off on the creek on a hot day. FYI... While there are some trees this campground is *NOT* ideal for hammocking so make sure everyone has tents. Lastly, Rangers always have service projects they need help with. Reach out ahead of time and you can easily set up a project!

LARGE camping area. Some are closer the parking, some are father. I think we ended up at #9 next tot he parking lot. This is something that you want to check out before booking. Lots of Port a johns however NO WATER and the visitor center was closed. we visited the local fire department for water, or BYO. The Antiedema Creek is very close by and has a swimming hole with rope swing. The battle field market is close by and sells a lot of things, but a lot of beer. Plan to go over to WV to the Safeway for food.

Excellent camp site, great history. Water Pump is inoperable. Make sure you have water. Pit toilets - don't have anything in your pockets. Excellent ghost stories.
