Monongahela National Forest Seneca Creek Dispersed Area

Dispersed Camping

Forest Road 112 offers scattered dispersed camping opportunities along Seneca Creek, with sites ranging from roadside pullouts to more secluded spots requiring short walks. The area provides excellent trout fishing and serves as a basecamp for exploring the Seneca Creek Backcountry Area. Sites are primitive with no facilities – just fire rings left by previous campers.

Access road can be rough and muddy, particularly in spring and after storms. Four-wheel drive recommended during wet conditions. The area sees moderate use from anglers and hunters but remains relatively unknown to casual campers. Creek provides water source but requires treatment. Best accessed May through October when road conditions are most reliable.
