Marble Quarry Hiker-Biker Campsite

The Marble Quarry Hiker-Biker Campsite offers a unique, no-frills wilderness experience situated directly along the historic towpath. As a federal campground managed by the USFS, it provides a quiet, accessible refuge for those traveling through the scenic Maryland landscape. Its location makes it an ideal waypoint for hikers and cyclists looking to immerse themselves in nature without the need for reservations or fees.

This site features essential amenities designed for the rugged traveler, including picnic tables, grills, and chemical toilets. While the area provides access to water, please note that it is non-potable and must be treated, filtered, or boiled before use. Be aware that water service is seasonally unavailable from mid-November to mid-April. The site is ADA accessible, ensuring that the beauty of the towpath remains open to a wider range of visitors.

This campground is best suited for self-sufficient tent campers and outdoor adventurers seeking a simple, one-night stopover. Due to the primitive nature of the site and the nature of the towpath trail, it is an excellent choice for those looking to disconnect and enjoy a moderate-level outdoor challenge in a peaceful, natural setting.
