A permit application for a 1,000-foot pier extending through marshland into Potomac Creek at a contested campground has been withdrawn from a review by the Virginia Marine Resource Commission.
The pier was proposed by Mark McLeod, owner of Crow’s Nest Outdoor Adventures, who plans to build a 150-site campground on the banks of Potomac Creek in the White Oak area of Stafford County. So far, the project has faced opposition from neighbors and the Patawomeck Tribe due to safety, privacy, and environmental protection concerns.
