About this campground
Located at mile 180.1 of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath, Evitts Creek Hiker-Biker Campsite provides free overnight accommodations for cyclists, hikers, and equestrians traveling through Allegany County near Cumberland, Maryland. Part of a network of primitive campsites spaced approximately every 5-7 miles along the towpath, this site serves as a key stopover for multi-day canal travelers. The campsite includes basic amenities: a chemical toilet available year-round, a picnic table, and a grill or fire ring. A water pump provides non-potable water from mid-April through mid-November, but all water must be filtered, chemically treated, or boiled before consumption.
