Marble Quarry Campsite
Dickerson, Maryland
About
The Marble Quarry Campsite is a hiker/biker campsite located on the C&O Canal. According to old maps, before the C&O Canal was built, there was a "Marble Quarry" running along the Maryland side of the river for over a mile. The stone that was quarried here was known as "Potomac marble," which wasn't a solid substance, but rather was composed of angular pebbles held together by a limestone matrix. The campsite has amenities including a chemical toilet, water, picnic table, and grill. Please note that potable water may not be available at each campsite, and water is turned off from November 15 to April 15 each year.
