Evitts Creek Hiker-biker Overnight Campsite — Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park

Train noise punctuates nights at this small hiker-biker campsite along the C&O Canal towpath. The site sits close to Evitts Creek, where campers can cool off during warmer months, though reviewers note the overall condition appears somewhat run down.

Each site includes a picnic table and grill, but campers must collect firewood from the ground rather than bringing their own. The National Park Service enforces quiet hours starting at 10 PM and prohibits attaching ropes or hammocks to trees. Sites accommodate up to 8 people for $20 per night, with reservations available online or payment at the on-site station. No pets are allowed. Evitts Creek offers another nearby option for those wanting a different setting.

Secluded, yet not.

I’m an avid train fan, so I actually really enjoyed this campsite, however, if train noise is a problem for you, there’s a bit of it happening here. Otherwise the campsite was very cozy, and just enough secluded for comfort.

I wouldn't give this campsite a super high review by any means. The campsite itself is pretty run down, and small. The great thing about this place was that the Evitts Creek was nearby, which was great for cooling off. My family and I visited Maryland one summer because we have family that lives in the area, and decided to do some camping the last part of the trip. This was one of 2 places we stayed. We did some hiking around the area- Evitts Mountain is close by and provides some really great views. They do have quiet hour in the park, I believe it starts at 10pm. You can not bring firewood in the campground. You basically have to use collected items from the ground to start your fire. Also, I brought a hammock, but was told we couldn't tie anything sort of rope to the trees, just FYI. There is a table and grill on each site as well, which is always nice. You can reserve your spot online, or pay at the station there. We only stayed 1 night here, and I think it was $20 for 8 max in a campsite. We split the cost between 2 families.
