With over 25 campgrounds spread throughout Monongahela National Forest, your family will be sure to find the perfect spot for camping. Monongahela National Forest is over 1,400 square miles that are federally protected. The climate of the area is much closer to Northern territories than it is West Virginia, so it offers a chance to experience the biodiversity not found elsewhere in the state. Along with camping, fishing and hunting are permitted in the forest, though visitors must be aware of the protected and endangered species. Fishers will be excited to find over 87 species throughout the streams and lakes.
