The National Park Service website for the C&O Towpath has been recently updated to indicate that some of the toilets in the campgrounds and H/B campsites are starting to be reopened.

From https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/conditions.htm

"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.

Restrooms, Vault Toilets, and Portable Toilets - beginning to open at campgrounds, boat ramps, and day use areas. Restrooms will be cleaned twice weekly. Please bring your own hand sanitizer, soap, and toilet paper as these items have been the subject of theft.

Water Fountains and Wells - closed."
