Has anyone here camped at the Y in Cumberland? Thinking about it and read about their fenced in camping area. Any issues with theft? Want to take a walk into town for dinner but can't lug everything with me while leaving my bike behind me locked up. Is access to the campground only during business hours (10 pm)? Or can you come and go as you please? Does it fill up with fellow campers? Thanks!

I've stayed at the Y a few years back. I was solo and had no problems. There are lockers available in the Y, for members with "away" privileges, during the Y's operating hours: your gear can be locked-up overnight then retrieved at opening...very early opening, around 5 AM. There were a few other campers, and yes there is a fence around campground with port a pot, but with many access points: so no real "fenced" effect. I was solo and had no problems.

I stayed there last year. A morning shower was nice at the Y. You may want earplugs because you are right next to the tracks and definitely lock your stuff up. A thief would have no problem getting to your things.

Thanks to both of you for responding. Looking forward to staying at the Y and locking my bike up overnight (no worrying about it!). A shower in the morning sounds good also. Good point about the earplugs. Thanks again...John

I stayed a couple times and always was pleased and never had trouble with theft. You can place some stuff in a locker at the Y and lock it . the staff was always pleasant. I also walked to town for dinner,( Crabby pig), Ice cream ( the Creamery,) and a few of Nathans hotdogs. Enjoy
