ELKINS, W.Va. — All U.S. veterans and active members of the U.S. Armed Forces can camp for free in parts of the Monongahela National Forest on Tuesday.
Forest Supervisor Clyde Thomas says the invitation is in honor of Veterans Day. Free camping will be offered at Laurel Fork, Bishop Knob, Summit, Cranberry, Big Rock, Blue Meadow, Pocahontas, Tea Creek, Day Run and non-reservation sites at Lake Sherwood.
Sites available through the national reservation system and those that have already closed for the season are not included.
Admittance will be based on the honor system and documentation is not required.
