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.
