New Rider Info

Central Alabama Mountain Pedalers (CAMP) was founded in 2012 by a group of mountain bikers in the Auburn area who recognized the need for more trails and greater awareness of the sport in Central Alabama. From the beginning, we focused on expanding the trail system at Chewacla State Park.

Today, CAMP volunteers actively care for over 67 miles of trail across Central Alabama:

  • 25+ miles at Chewacla State Park
  • 30+ miles in Tuskegee National Forest
  • 12 miles at Swayback Bridge

Members, donors, and volunteers make every mile of trail possible.

If you enjoy riding these trails, becoming a CAMP member is one of the best ways to support the people who build and maintain them.

For more information, visit our FAQ page for answers to common questions about trail conditions, etiquette, volunteering, and getting started.

Weekly Group Rides

CAMP members host weekly group rides at Chewacla State Park.

  • Tuesday evenings
  • Most weekends

Rides typically start from the second parking lot and explore a variety of trails throughout the park. Because times and locations may change due to weather or trail conditions, be sure to check our Events page for the latest updates.
