Hi all, i'm planning a bike and camping trip from Cumberland to DC. Can you provide me with info about safety at the camp grounds (esp if you are female traveling alone)? Thx

I did a day trip last weekend between Seneca and White's Ferry. I stopped at the campground just south of Edward's Ferry. Since there are no services nearby, you wouldn't think it would be popular, but there were six tents there on a Saturday morning. Two women riding together. Men riding together. Couples. So it would be safe. Probably the smart thing to do would be to start to look for a campground early and to keep riding until you found one with enough campers to make you feel comfortable. And it would also be good to have motels and inns in mind in case you didn't find a place where you felt comfortable. There were lots of people on the towpath though and opportunities to talk to other bikers and learn their plans for the night.
