Blackburn Trail Center is operated by Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC), but largely only for use by dues-paying club members who can rent the facility from November to March for a fee. From April to October PATC uses Blackburn Trail Center to house trail maintenance volunteers. There is a separate hiker cabin with four bunks for AT thru hikers as well as tent sites located around the property. Hikers are welcome to camp for a limit of one night and to gather water and use the privy and picnic tables, but should not expect access to the main building. There may be a caretaker on site who can answer questions.
