Devils Alley Hiker-Biker Campsite

What makes the Devils Alley Hiker-Biker Campsite truly distinct is its remarkable remoteness, serene wooded ambiance, and its authentic connection to the history of the C&O Canal. Situated along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal towpath and bordered by the expansive Green Ridge State Forest, this free campsite offers an exceptional escape for bikers and hikers who value tranquility and a deep immersion in natural and historical surroundings.

This primitive campground is outfitted with essentials designed for trail users, including picnic tables, fire grills, potable water (treated with iodine), and a portable toilet. While the amenities are basic, the ambiance makes up for it, providing unparalleled opportunities for solitude and reflection. Nearby, history enthusiasts can explore the remnants of a 19th-century sawmill, adding a layer of cultural intrigue to the camping experience.

Located just 1.4 miles from Little Orleans, Maryland, the site is perfectly positioned for those wanting to combine rugged camping with access to amenities in town. Additionally, the campsite is a gateway to the abundant recreational activities within Green Ridge State Forest and the scenic Potomac River, both easily accessible. This makes Devils Alley a favored stop for day-trippers, through-bikers, and those seeking an off-the-grid weekend retreat.
