Best Dispersed Camping near Buffalo Mills, PA

Fires are permitted for campers, and pets are allowed throughout the area.

The WMA features both drive-in and walk-in camping access. While there is a roadside camping area with level, grassy sites, more secluded spots require hiking further into the property. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "There's a lot by the road that looks like it's where they want you to camp but there are better sites on in. Just gotta hike to em." Some confusion exists regarding fees—one visitor noted a sign indicating a $10 camping fee but found no information about payment methods either on-site or on the West Virginia DNR website.

    Hike in

    I spent a night here. There's a lot by the road that looks like it's where they want you to camp but there are better sites on in. Just gotta hike to em. Fun place to teach the kids the basics of fishing, but the campground area leaves a little to be desired.

    Road side site is not too bad

    As I pulled in there was a kiosk with a sign that said $10 camping fee but no info on how or where to pay. I tried to look at the WVDNR website but couldn't find it there either, However no one came by. Other than that the site was level and grassy. Nice camp site.
