Riding the trail in late September/Early October and we are planning on alternating between camping and hotel/B&Bs. Just wondering--do the hiker/biker sites fill up? I know online it says they are first come first serve, but wasn't sure if anyone had encountered a site that was full before you arrived? Thanks in advance for your help!

The C&O campsites are supposed to be first come..but I've shared sites on numerous occasions. Also most are quite large. People are usually very compatible.

I just finished yesterday the only campsite that had multiple tents set up was in Connellsville I don't think you will have a problem.

Never in my four full trips have I seen a crowded campsite.
