Has anyone stayed at Iron Mountain Campsite? Planning to take Amtrak to Cumberland from Washington to do a West to East ride and the train doesn't get into Cumberland until 7:17 pm which doesn't leave much biking time so I'll need somewhere close for the first night. Wondering if it's a decent campsite.

I stay at the YMCA just out of downtown Cumberland. They have a big fenced in lot you camp in. It costs $10 and in the am you can go over and get a shower.Just go down Green st. then I think its a left at a Sheezt then follow the Interstate signs and then you will see tye YMCA signs.

I would use Evitts Creek Hiker/Biker campsite. 0.7 miles from vehicle access at mile 180.7. I felt like I needed more than just earplugs at Iron mountain as it has 24/7 train and switches that feel like they vibrate the ground.

I have done exactly what you are doing many times and experience no problems staying at Evitts Creek or Iron Mountain hiker/biker site. Just remember you're going to have some train sounds all night long so unless you're a heavy sleeper, better bring some ear plugs. Otherwise, enjoy and have a fantastic adventure!
