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

The regularity of the free hiker biker sites along the trail make riding your own ride super simple.  Not ready to stop?   Press on to the next one, Town Creek is worth it! 

Big expansive lawn with enough room for a dozen tents or more, 3 picnic tables rather than the typical single table, and a couple of fire rings, makes this a lovely place to spend the night...especially for groups!  Gorgeous river front area, too.

The well pump was working when we arrived and the port-o-potty was very clean. One side benefit of this site is that it marked the first of the campsites that strayed from the railroad line, so nighttime disruptions became a less frequent experience than in some other campsites along the path.  We slept well!

So far, I would say this was one of my favorite campsites along the canal to stay at. It’s very large, and if you stay down closer to the river, it’s very peaceful, and a beautiful site to wake up to.
