Free Dispersed Camping on Canaan Loop Road, Monongahela NF, WV

Canaan Loop Road is a free boondocking and primitive camping location in West Virginia. In this video, we visit the dispersed campsites along Canaan Loop Road within the Canaan Mountain Backcountry, Monongahela National Forest. There are no less than seven (7) dispersed campsites along Canaan Loop Road, Forest Road Road 13, and all offer up to free 14 day camping in this unique slice of West Virginia. From WV Route 32, the first several campsites are nothing more than a narrow short strip along the forest road with no fire ring. Continuing on, I found four good dispersed campsites with a fire ring, all east of the Pointy Knob Trailhead. The campsites offer a meadow-pine matrix with an alpine feel. This is a popular backpacking and mountain bike area. There are precious few turnaround areas in the form of trailhead parking. As such, Canaan Loop Road is not big rig friendly. Both Verizon and AT&T cellular service was spotty and barely usable for streaming and app connectivity. Water fill and dump station are available for a fee at nearby Blackwater Falls State Park. Grid coordinates for this free camping location are as follows: 39.068, -79.4853

Actually did some filming in the area on one of our overanding trip. Beautiful place!

Thanks a heap, I had heard about this area and was heading there anyway, and your video makes me feel better about arriving for the first time. Roughly how many sites would you say?

[@EepicPhail]

Can a low-clearance/2wd vehicle manage this road? From the video it looks to be pretty smooth but I am wondering what your impression was, and if you'd seen any 2wd sedans up the road at all.

[@lukehall71]

How often do you think the campsites get taken snd you have to look elsewhere

[@RC-mo8tl]

Hey, I know that Cherokee haha

[@rickringler5021]

I just want to warn folks that it is illegal to camp at a trail head in West Virginia. I can not quote you the number in the code since I threw the ticket away after I paid it. I do remember the fine was 130.00.

this is a sensitive upland bog area. please do not bring RVs and large trailers up here. do not create new campsites like people have been doing. better yet, why not just go and enjoy it without making a video and not blow up every remaining gem of a spot in WV?
