According to the NPS website below, some of the campgrounds and H/B campsites are or are beginning to open as listed in specified northwestern Maryland counties.

Various limitations and restrictions still apply.

Thanks Rivnuts.

Interesting opening. From the C&O site linked above, “Hiker-bike Campsites - open in Frederick, Washington, and Allegany Counties (Calico Rocks to Evitts Creek). Please bring your own water as pump handles will not be replaced and turned on at this time. Restrooms may be open and will be cleaned twice weekly. Please bring your own hand sanitizer, soap, and toilet paper as these items have been the subject of theft.“

Calico Rocks is Mile 47.6 and the closest to DC. The campsites are open all the way to Cumberland.

This is good news. I think I can begin to plan out my week long tour now! :-)

John

Huzzah! Let the planning begin.
The hard part will be explaining to the wife that I'll be leaving for awhile...
