Mile 126.4 - There is no driving access to this campsite. There is no fee charged. First come, first served. Stay is limited to one site per night per trip.
More information is available at .
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.
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!
