Hello, my wife & I are car/tent campers. A couple of yrs ago we traveled from our home state of Maryland (nearer to Washington D.C.) in hopes to find campsite #1 (Abes Run) free & available. It was and we set up camp there for a week, based on your original video of the place. It was everything you said it was, we absolutelyloved it. We love the look & feel of the great state West Virginia & look to your videos whenever we're road tripping to WV. Thanks you so much, you provide at great service.
Feedback like yours encourage us to keep making our videos. Thanks for watching! Lou
Great video thanks! Found some new ones.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching! Lou
Thank you for this very informative video. We live out West and plan on exploring the East in the near future we are so unfamiliar with. Great forest camp spots near streams are so uplifting!
Glad it was helpful! Check out our other free and affordable camping videos in the neighboring states as well. Thanks for watching. Lou
Exactly what i am looking for. Thank you

My pleasure! Thanks for watching. Lou
We haven't tried the dispersed camping like this before, but are totally up for it. Great video. Lynn and Danny
Melody and I have a passion for free camping. No check-in/check-out times and some of the most scenic camping you'll ever find is free. Be sure to activate the notification bell so you don't miss our next video. Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow I have the notification Bell clicked. We have just been in places where we have very little service. LOL we're finding that to be a problem on the road.
Hey Lou ! This is another one of your great "overview video's" that you have posted! You did an excellent job of showing where there are some nice dispersed free camping spot's in WV. They look VERY quiet, peaceful, and relaxing for sure. Great sound effects also of the "babbling brook" rolling past your own private campsite !!! Jeepers Delight,(Jason), would love camping at some of them with his buddies for sure. I would like to also, lol, but like you said....it is ," bear country", sooo , Im not sure I could do that. But, they are very beautiful and I could spend the day in there for sure. (not too sure about night time) lol Love watching the video's !! You do a very nice detailed description, and picture's of each campsite location !! Thank you Vicky
As always Vicky, your comments on our videos make us smile from ear to ear. Thanks! Lou
Wow, thank you so much for making this video. I love WV and at this time of the year all the campsites are closing down making it difficult to find camping. Just subscribed to help out a fellow TH-camr and camper. ~RVA Hiker Girl~
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for riding along with us. Three more free camping videos set in West Virginia will be published on our TH-cam Channel this fall. Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow Fantastic! Love supporting fellow creators putting helpful info out there so others can enjoy the outdoors. ~RVA~
Hi My Friend nice video WVA my parents from i go too Cass black water falls we love WVA Ty On video
Cass Railroad is a great day trip! The National Radio Observatory is also one of my favorites just down the road. Be sure to activate the notification bell so you don't miss our next video. Thanks for watching! Lou
Thanks a ton... another great video! I will certainly be using these. Any idea where the closest dump location is to the Spruce Knob, Davis, Cannan Loop area would be?
For Spruce Knob, use the dump station at the USFS Seneca Shawdows CG for a reasonable fee. For Cannan Loop use the dump at Blackwater Falls State Park. Hope this helps. Lou
Thanks so much going motorcycle camping I’ll be looking into these disbursed camps PS will hang food up in 🌲 BEAR country.
Excellent video. Thanks for this great info! What is the best season to camp in these areas? Is it accessible year round? Any season that is best to avoid (such as hunting season)?
September through October and late April through May are the best times to camp in the Monongahelia National Forest. Be sure to activate the notification bell so you don't miss our next video. Thanks for watching! Lou
Planning a fall trip to this area. How's cell and/or gps in this area? Looking forward to watching all your WV videos
Each location will differ. See individual videos in our West Virginia playlist. Lou
The sweetest spot after #1, pretty remote, could a Mzda CX5; no tow, get across that bridge? How far is the nearest town, for groceries stores etc? Also, would there be enough sunlight?
Question? Do you like one of these sites better than ABES RUN for tent camping. I’m from Wv and want a special place to go. What’s you # 1 pick ?
Thank you , Jaime
It depends on what you are looking for in a campsite and rig size. Most of these free campsites have little to no cellular service. For me, I'd make a reservation at the US Forest Service Seneca Shadows Campground for RV camping with medium to large size RVs. The Seneca Shadows Campground puts you within an easy drive of Spruce Knob, Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, and Canaan Valley. I've done videos on all these places. Check out our playlist on Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia here: th-cam.com/video/aGZM7QO_juQ/w-d-xo.html
So if I just put Gandy Creek dispersed camping area in my GPS it will take me to that road and then I can just start looking for sites off that road?
Copy and paste the grid coordinates I provide in the written video description of the Gandy Creek Dispersed Camping Area video into Google Maps and hit enter. It takes you to that sweet campsite next to the creek pictured in the video. This location is midway into the camping area. Thanks for watching! Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow oh wow thank you! So awesome! I was sure to subscribe!
I did something wrong LOL maybe I’m just not seeing it I took a screenshot and then I zoomed in. It’s taking me to the country of turkey LOL
The period at the end of the sentence is not part of the grid coordinates. Copy and paste this: 38.7609644, -79.58319
@@LivingOurDreamNow Thank you so much that worked! So along that road, are they marked or we just park where there is space? I’ve never really done this before and dont wanna overstep my territory there lol. I appreciate it
Any free campsites in Charleston,WV
Here you go: www.campendium.com/st-albans-roadside-park
Which one would you say is the most remote?
Abes Run Road Dispersed Camping Area is the most remote followed by Little River Dispersed Camping Area. Little River is more RV friendly.
Thank you . Great videos! God bless you and your family
Do you know of any campgrounds that have sites with electric for tenting that are not stacked up on each other. I’m finding more and more that sites with electric or not at all private can I just looking to get out and have a nice quiet no frills campsite without generators running and loud socializing from side to side another words, I just want some quiet time, but due to medical reasons I require electric so I can’t go out into dispersed camping, which is what I really like to do.
Look for my video on Abes Run Road. It is a free dispersed campsite on the East Bank of the Greenbier River. Also watch my video on How to Find Free Tent Camping in the National Forest. The latter video was also recorded at the Abes Run Road campsite. Lou
At the army camp in prince wv its open year around.. there is handicap sites as well.. cell service isn't that great if you even have any but it's definitely ptivate.. it's not completely primitive there's fire pits with grills attached and restroom building not Porta pody...with electric.. if u have plenty battery packs or a way to charge for your heath needs be ok..but for free, quiet decent roads it's ok..
I have been watching all your videos …I’m taking my 4 Runner from Bradenton Florida to Boston…..My route will take me up 95 through GA, then up 26/77 to Charlotte NC to visit my son. From Charlotte I am taking 81/88 to Allanton Pennsylvania to visit a friend. Then up to Boston. I would like to do free camping on my way up. I would like your recommendation on your choices for a places you would stay at along my route. Preferably close to the highways in GA, SC, NC and Pennsylvania. Would I like bathrooms and showers, sure, but not necessary. Thank you very much. I would like to make 4 camping stops along the way up north…
John, I've looked at my personal camping map and the only free camping area along your route I can recommend is located near Chambersburg, PA off I-81. This is Michaux State Forest Campsite #1 and a free permit is required. See Part 1 of the Michaux State Forest video series. The exact grid coordinates are: 39.987569, -77.401986 Hope this helps. Lou
If you do your trip again, try Uwharrie NF, NC - yates place ( just outside of Charlotte, nc), florida has some dispursed camping in panhandle - some you have to register on line, but is free. I hope this gives you a start.
I would be on a motorcycle, are these dirt roads?
A mix, asphalt, gravel, and hard packed dirt roads.
@@LivingOurDreamNow I guess that’s why they call it adventure riding, thanks I’ll be in touch⛺️
All of West Virginia is bear country today, just more in high country!
