Irons Mountain Campsite

Cumberland, MD 21502
20 North Centre Street Cumberland Maryland 21502 US

The Irons Mountain Ridge is the Canal’s last formidable ridge to navigate as it makes its way toward Cumberland. The campsite is upstream about a mile from the Narrows, the point where the River and the Canal squeeze by the ridge.

The free overnight campsite is a large, deep wooded area with access to Rt. 51. It has a portable toilet, picnic table, grill/fire ring and water source (April 15-November 15). Use water treatment methods to be on the safe side.

Please visit the C&O Canal National Historical Park’s website for detailed camping information, or you can call 301-739-4200 with any questions. Site reservations can be made via the Recreation.gov website.
