Howdy, all, getting ready to head to HF from DC this Sat (18 Jul) with my 11 y/o son. Was wondering about:

- Trail conditions (muddy?)
- Any trail camping at or near Harpers Ferry (I've only cycled "through" and not "to" HF)
- Status of water pumps from DC
- Any additional intel

Many thanks!

There's huckleberry hill hiker/biker camp area just past harpers ferry (2ish miles north of harpers ferry, I think). There's paid camping in brunswick but that's about 7 miles from harpers ferry.

I don't think you'll see much mud and from whites ferry you have new trail surface all the way to harpers ferry.
