Decent enough. Had to stop here to put up my tent because of a storm. Lots of flying insects.

I stayed at Evitts Creek in the fall of 2024 as part of a long distance bike trip. The site is nice, but like many on the C&O trail it can be loud with train traffic. While the water is non-potable, the water pump worked and had no obviously large particles. It was very possible to convert the water to potable form using a pump. Like many of the water sources there is a large amount of mineral... I stayed at Evitts Creek in the fall of 2024 as part of a long distance bike trip. The site is nice, but like many on the C&O trail it can be loud with train traffic. While the water is non-potable, the water pump worked and had no obviously large particles. It was very possible to convert the water to potable form using a pump. Like many of the water sources there is a large amount of minerals in the water, which became apparent when I cleaned my pump filter. Plenty of places for tents and some room for hammocks. The site is one of the medium sized ones that could hold a number of campers.

Nice campground but very noisy with the train station right next to it. Very pretty though and there is a nice picnic table. The mosquitos here were terrible though, but the well water (needs to be filtered) works, although it has lots of iron in it (yellow).

Great campsite along the c&o. Train noise can be a problem so bring ear plugs for sleeping.
