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 an increased awareness for the sport in Central Alabama. In September 2012, CAMP, already a 501 (c)3 nonprofit, became an official IMBA-SORBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association & Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association) chapter and received a $100,000 grant to improve 26 miles of multi-use trails within Chewacla State Park.
