About
West Virginia's oldest state forest, Seneca spans nearly 12,900 acres of remote Allegheny Mountain woodland with no cell service anywhere on the property (Wi-Fi is available at the forest office). Its 10 non-electric sites each have a tent pad, trailer pad, and pit toilet; cabins are also available, not counted in the total above. The campground is open spring through fall, weather permitting.
