Check out Rivers Edge Campground 2 miles before Connellsville then Husky Haven in Rockwood.they both are right on the trail and both have showers,laundry,store,. Very nice.That should get you into Cumberland just fine.

I don't know if you'll see this in time, but, none of the official camp sites are bad, just some better than others. The shelters at Connellsville are right on the trail and have a supermarket near by if you're carrying food. Ohiopyle is all uphill from the trail, about 1/4 mile. The Outflow campground has a separate area for hikers and bikers that is pretty nice. Husky Haven is very nice and just a short distance from town. It seems there is now a camping option in the town of Meyersdale. Check at Donges Drive-In Restaurant for details. And camping in Frostburg is right near town but down hill from the road so you don't hear most of the noise.
