Huckleberry Hill Hiker Biker Campsite

Isolated along the scenic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath at Mile 62.9, the Huckleberry Hill Hiker-Biker Campsite offers a tranquil retreat for adventurers seeking a rustic, immersive outdoor experience. This no-cost, hike-in-only campsite caters exclusively to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders, emphasizing simplicity and a profound connection to nature.

The campsite features a hand-pumped water spigot treated with iodine (seasonally available from mid-April to mid-November), a shared picnic table, grill, and a portable toilet. Its level and shaded terrain, with a mix of grass and dirt, provides flexibility for tent placement, though amenities are limited. Campfires are permitted in designated grills, offering a traditional camping vibe, while the absence of vehicle access enhances its serene, off-grid atmosphere.

Situated near Knoxville, Maryland, and less than four miles from Harpers Ferry, this campsite is perfectly positioned for day trips to explore the town's historic charm or the sprawling views from Maryland Heights. It's an ideal stopover for single-night stays along the towpath, particularly for those traversing the historic C&O Canal Trail.
