Evitts Creek Campsite

T M Sloop

Evitts Creek access area has always and will always be a wonderful memory of mine. My uncle Howard Allen used to take me and his children here to put his motor boat in for a little fun with us for the day even had us fishing. He was the greatest uncle any little girl could have ever wished for. He was a close resembles to Elvis Presley both when he was young and as he aged. My nick name for him was Squirt. I love you Uncle and I always will.

Nice level site with plenty of room. Table, grill, fire ring, a hand pump well, and a porta potty. Trains very nearby so there is that.

My first camping experience of the C&O Canal. I learned about this trail not long after I moved into Cumberland in 1991, and it became my home away from home. If you couldn't find me at home or in town, I was on the trail somewhere. I wound up hiking the entire trail 3 times and biking it once.

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.
