I've stumbled upon an advertisement to camp at one of the parks in downtown Meyersville: http://www.pamaplefestival.com/overnight.html

However, I'm having trouble finding reviews/experiences. Has anyone stayed here? Tips or tricks?

Hope this helps. I believe this might be a fairly new service in Meyersdale although I'd heard before that you could camp at the Maple Syrup Camp on Meyers Ave. Anyway, according to the website. pamaplefestival.com there are tent sites available from May8th/Oct.10th. $10 per site, room for 1 tent, restrooms with hot/cold water. Check in at Donges Restaurant. Contact # 814 634-0213. Camping is located in the small park at 120 Meyers Ave just a short ways down from Yoder's Guest House.

The town is small and quiet. I believe the camping is right where the maple syrup display camp is located. If so I'd think you'd have a quiet night other than the trains that rumble by about .5 miles away.

Thanks Rick, good info!

The festival park is a very neat little park about .4 miles off the bike trail. It will be quiet and away from the train tracks. I'd recommend eating at Morgeun Toole, a neat little restaurant/bar. If you need breakfast, GI Dayroom. There is also a sheetz right below the Festival grounds.

Definitely recommend GI Day Room. Home of the smiley face pancake! In fact, on a few trips we've stayed at the Hostel in Rockwood and rode the 12 miles or so to Meyerdale for breakfast. That's how much we enjoy the folks there. I've heard mixed reviews of Morgeun Toole. But never ate there. We really love Meyersdale and have often stayed at Yoders
