About
Huckleberry Hill Hiker-Biker Campsite is one of numerous primitive campsites spaced approximately every 5-7 miles along the 184.5-mile C&O Canal towpath. Located at mile 62.9 in Washington County, Maryland, this free campsite serves long-distance hikers and cyclists traveling the historic canal route between Georgetown and Cumberland. The site provides basic amenities including a chemical toilet, picnic table, and fire pit. Non-potable well water is available mid-April through mid-November but must be filtered, chemically treated, or boiled before consumption. Water handles are removed during winter months. Camping is first-come, first-served with no reservations or fees. Stays are limited to one night per site per trip. Fires must be confined to the provided fire pit or a portable grill elevated off the ground, and campers must bring kiln-fired or dried wood. This is a trash-free park, so all waste must be packed out. Quiet hours are 10pm to 6am.
Directions
The campsite is located at mile 62.9 of the C&O Canal towpath, approximately 1-5 miles from the nearest parking area. Access is on foot or by bicycle only.
