The long reads
The Harpers Ferry guide
The two nearest open spaces with RV-tolerant infrastructure are Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and C&O Canal National Historical Park, both with on-site sourcing maintained at .gov pages. Diesel and propane run reliable through U-Haul of Charles Town on 100 Patrick Henry Way, Charles Town, WV 25414, and tank dumping is cleanest at Harpers Ferry KOA ($10 non-guest).
Best window to arrive falls in April through May and September through October; worst is January through February: Potomac ice events and many NPS programming suspended. Scenic-drive options leave town via Washington Heritage Trail (WV-9) and C&O Canal Towpath Scenic Drive. The most common arrival mistake is driving any RV into the harpers ferry historic district — pre-civil war street widths restricted to walking-pace traffic; tow extraction costly.
Every fact above traces to a primary source listed at the bottom of this guide.
When to come
