The GAP Trail Campground - Bikers Only
About
We are a dedicated GAP Trail biker only campground. No vehicles are permitted at our campground. Our location is only 200 feet off the trail just 1/4 mile north of the GAP Trail headquarters building in West Newton. The campground is located right on the banks of the beautiful and historic Youghiogheny River. West Newton is a full service, biker friendly town. You can walk to all the restaurants, bars, stores and Main Street from the campground for dinner and entertainment, or for a home style breakfast in the morning to get ready for your next day of pedaling.

More like a Spa than a Campground!
What a treat! Imagine if a luxury AirBnB and a Hobbit Camp had a baby – this place would be it. The outdoor shower/toilet block is such a divine sight, it makes you crave one whether you’re stinky or not. The spacious and lush lawn has lots of space for tents, but the winner is the covered seating, dining, and cooking area. Everything is clean as a whistle…pun intended. Here’s where that luxury kicks in, so much that you’ll wonder if what you’re doing still qualifies as camping. While not quite glamping it’s the perfect hybrid.
Had we not stopped for the previous night’s camp 8 miles sooner, this would have been our favorite camp along the trail. Glad we stopped to check it out, but next time we will include it for sure!
Town is a short walk away, with a few restaurants and other options for necessities as well. But remember, with all this luxury comes an active train too...that's the nature of this trail. Bring those earplugs for a good night's sleep!
