Stickpile Hill Hiker Biker Campsite

Stickpile Hill is a primitive hiker-biker campsite located at mile 149. 4 of the C&O Canal towpath near Little Orleans, Maryland, offering free first-come, first-served camping with basic amenities including a chemical toilet, picnic table, and fire grill.

The site provides non-potable well water (available mid-April through mid-November) that must be filtered or treated before use, and is accessible only by foot or bicycle via the towpath.

Overnight stays are limited to one night per trip, and the site may be subject to flooding after heavy rains due to its proximity to the Potomac River.
