...... Weverton Primitive campsite still closed?

Not sure where that is..Is that the site right down on the Potomac River where the shelter used to be long long ago????..If it is I was just up there 2 weekends ago and saw people camped out there

yes, Weaverton primitive campsite is closed. The water source at Ed Garvey is way down the hill but path is well marked. There are 5 or 6 tent pads on paths on either side of the shelter for tenting. It is a nice shelter. Enjoy your trip
