Customer Reviews
I stayed at Evitts Creek in the fall of 2024 as part of a long distance bike trip. The site is nice, but like many on the C&O trail it can be loud with train traffic. While the water is non-potable, the water pump worked and had no obviously large particles. It was very possible to convert the water to potable form using a pump. Like many of the water sources there is a large amount of minerals in the water, which became apparent when I cleaned my pump filter. Plenty of places for tents and some room for hammocks. The site is one of the medium sized ones that could hold a number of campers.
Nice campground but very noisy with the train station right next to it. Very pretty though and there is a nice picnic table. The mosquitos here were terrible though, but the well water (needs to be filtered) works, although it has lots of iron in it (yellow).
Great campsite along the c&o. Train noise can be a problem so bring ear plugs for sleeping.
Adequate for a free primitive campground. Minimal train noises at night from across the canal. Water didn’t taste too weird but needed to be filtered. Three trees make for 2 hammock spots immediately next to the trail.
Freight trains stop near here often. Day and night. Nice place if you don't mind the noise. Iodine treated well (hand pump) for potable water. PolyJohn was relatively clean. Picnic table, fire pit and grill. Lots of flat, mowed grass for tenting. And trees for hammocks. Closest free campsite to Cumberland, on the C&O trail. One night limit. But again, train activity is the main deterrent to camping here. Wildlife spotted: Raccoon, Opossum, Rabbit, Squirrel, Frogs, Mosquitoes & bees. Various small birds. Train workers. Etc.
