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

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.
@LivingOurDreamNow
@LivingOurDreamNow 3 года назад
The first portion of Canaan Loop Road is okay for low clearance 2WD. The road deteriorates past Red Creek into 4WD high clearance. All the campsites shown in the video are accessible with a 2WD. Thanks for watching!

Any free camping trip should include multiple alternate campsites to address the situation you inquired about. For the nine free camping areas I have visited in West Virginia and documented on RU-vid, all had vacant campsites during the time of my visit.

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.
@LivingOurDreamNow
@LivingOurDreamNow 4 года назад
Rick - Was your ticket in connection with dispersed camping on the Canaan Loop Road? The one dispersed camping site I visited located next to a trailhead is shown on the Canaan Mountain Backcountry Map published by the USFS.
@rickringler5021
@rickringler5021 4 года назад
My ticket was not on Canaan Loop Rd. But it was in Mongahelia National Forest. I know folks some times do it but when the wrong officer comes along you will get a ticket. It was actually a Federal Agent that ticketed me.

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?
@LivingOurDreamNow
@LivingOurDreamNow 4 года назад
It is also an USFS authorized dispersed camping area. Everyone is welcome. Thanks. Your feedback is much appreciated.

I've paid my dues helping others during there last few days on this earth. Now its time for my adventure which starts Oct 1st . Any help/ information I can find is so helpful especially heading down the east coast. Majority of people that do a lot of research are very respectful to nature. Usually it's the local weekend partiers that trash a place. Thank you. LivingOurDreamNow Any info at Forbes.
