1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free dispersed camping along Forest Service Road 75, Brushy Ridge Road sits in Monongahela National Forest and consists of three large, unmarked sites with stone fire rings spaced roughly 100 feet apart. The road is in decent condition for drive-in access. Firewood is available at a nearby farmhouse on an honor system, $5 per bundle. The sites sit about 2.5 miles from the Bear Rocks trailhead, making this a practical base for hikers heading into Dolly Sods wilderness. Cell service is not confirmed. No fee, no reservation required.

Great location near Dolly Sods Wilderness

Brushy Ridge Road is Forest Service Road 75 and is in decent condition. There are several pull off campsites along this road on the way up to Dolly Sods wilderness but this primitive group of three large unmarked campsites with stone fire rings is before you get to the Bear Flats Plateau and the Red Creek camp grounds. It is a 2.5 mile, 2000’ climb to get to the trailhead for Bear Rocks Trail in Bear Rocks Preserve which is about a half mile past the entrance to this unmarked group site. I camped in the middle of these three large campsites that are each about 100 feet away from each other. Firewood was available on a self serve honor system (put $5 cash in the box for each bundle you take) at the farmhouse across from the turn on to Brushy Creek.
