Dispersed Camping off Forest Road 227

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Forest Road 227 runs through a valley basin in Monongahela National Forest, where the US Forest Service has marked individual dispersed sites with clear signage, each equipped with a campfire ring. Sites are well spaced from one another, though some sit close to the road. The area was historically used for spruce farming, which accounts for the open, cleared character of the terrain. No cell service should be expected here. Road conditions vary across the corridor, with some sections rough enough to give trailers and low-clearance vehicles trouble, while other pullouts can accommodate RVs. Campers wanting a more established setup nearby can consider Mower Basin Dispersed — Monongahela NF (FR 227) a short distance south.

The most beautiful basin campsites

So instead of putting in 20+ reviews, I'm just going to lump them all into one. There are a lot of campsites along this road, many of which could fit an RV, but many of which have some rough roads that an RC or trailer might not do well on.

Each site has a clear marker put there by the Forest Service, something I haven't seen before, and plenty of signs asking to limit your stay to 14 days. Each site also has a campfire ring and is well spaced out from the next one, but not always from the road.

You are sort of in a valley/basin kind of area. There used to be a lot of spruce tree farming here so I think that is why it is so cleared out. It doesn't seem to be an active logging zone now though, so it's just peaceful and quiet. 

I have t-mobile and got zero service. I wouldn't expect any carrier to get any service out there though.
