hi,

looking for a list of casual cyclist campgrounds on the GAP for a ride im planning this summer, starting Pittsburgh. Trying to avoid the big KOA style or motorhome camgrounds, if possible. Looks like the GAP doesnt have as many as the C&O so i think i need to plan more carefully. Thanks

Here's the free ones. If I could give any suggestion to the stewards of the GAP I would say please put one around Mile 35-40, only paid campgrounds exist there:

Mile 89 Connellsville Adirondack Shelters (I think you can pitch a tent around them if these are full)
Mile 99 Roundbottom Primitive Campground
Mile 110 Cedar Creek Park Primitive Campground
Mile 122 Dravo's Landing Primitive Campground
