Smaller Camp on the C&O. 1 picnic table, 1 fire pit, 1 grill. All in good shape. Im here during snow just passing through. Right on the Potomac and easy to walk into. A lot of trees so when it’s dry, firewood shouldn’t be hard to find!
Operable pump and clean porta potty. Hancock has a couple bicycle B&Bs if you don't want to rough it, though. Plenty of room for a group.
Campsite is small and too close to the town of Hancock. Only 1.7 miles from downtown to this campsite. We camped on a Sat night, and some locals from the town walked to the site. They got very drunk / high and began to threaten people at the camp. It lasted all night and was a horrible experience. I would highly recommend finding other campsites on the trail farther away from areas where people can park and walk in.
Besides the Ranger assuming we were living there, It's the perfect distance away from town. Was A LOT of trash and discarded items there also.
I love all the campsites on the canal. This one is one of my favorites though it's nice and quiet. There's easy access to the river and it's only 2 miles from town.
