About
Bear Heaven Campground is a primitive 8-site campground tucked among unique rock outcroppings in the Monongahela National Forest, roughly 14 miles northeast of Elkins, West Virginia. Situated on Forest Road 91 (Stuart Drive), the campground provides convenient access to the adjacent Otter Creek Wilderness, one of West Virginia's premier backcountry areas. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis from mid-April through November. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own. Sites cost $5 per night, payable on-site, with a maximum stay of 14 days and check-out at 1:00 p.m. Nearby recreation includes stream fishing and multiple hiking opportunities. The Middle Point Trail #140, a 3.7-mile route, begins along Forest Road 91 west of the campground. The Otter Creek Wilderness offers additional trails for those seeking more challenging backcountry experiences.
Directions
From Elkins, go east on State Highway 33 for approximately 11 miles. Turn left on Forest Road 91 at the top of Shaver's Mountain. Follow Forest Road 91 for approximately 3 miles. Bear Heaven Campground will be on the left.
