One of the best overnight spots that I have stopped along the C&O. I stopped here for the night on a 2 day northbound ride of the canal. It's just about the halfway point between Georgetown and Cumberland. It's fairly "remote" for the C&O. Water pump and picnic table included and I had the place to myself. The railroad is not close so you don't get the loud train noise like the sites from mile 40-60. Mosquitos were bad though.

Significant boat activity until well after dark, including loud activity on the WV side @1AM. (WV side is all houses.) Water access was a little tricky. Lots of flat areas for set-up.

Nice enough campsite all things considering. Clean toilet and water pump works. You do have to pump about 30 times to get water though. Only drawbacks we're the mosquitoes, and especially on weekends during the summer it's a busy section of boat traffic with the slack water and summer house/camps on the West Virginia side. So if you don't mind a little floating heavy metal concert or boat engine sounds, it's an okay place to stop. Not as disruptive as the CSX train whistle, but not exactly serene.

Nice and quiet campsite on the towpath. The only drawback is there isn’t easy access to the river.

Great day 2 on the C&O site. Right by a good resupply town and the site itself was OK. A lot of silt and very close to the river = buggy
