Backcountry Camp 57

This is a great site. There are 3 areas near the trail with their own fire pits and tent sites. There are also some more remote tent sites off of the trail. In the early spring, when I stayed here there is easy access to water steps south of the Martins Gap Trail.

Amazing camp after a long day. Had some trouble making my way to the water source. Doing a quick map study prior to stepping off for water will save you some minutes wandering towards the sound of water just to get tangled up in some brush. If there was a path to it, I missed it. One of the best camp sites we stayed at during our trip.

This is a perfect campsite for solo or group trips. Less than 500 feet from Deep Creek, the sound of the water lulls you to sleep.
