At $25 per night, this walk-in, hike-in, and boat-in campground along the Great Allegheny Passage sits within easy reach of West Newton for resupply stops. Reservations are available. The site features a covered cooking and dining area, flush toilets, showers, and drinking water. One notable trade-off: an active rail line runs nearby, so light sleepers should pack earplugs. Cell service is available on-site.
Description
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.
