Here's the info for the first (so far as I know) STN Region 6 Campout:

The Plan:
Spend a weekend camping near great riding roads in WV.  Ride during the day, hang around the campfire at night eating, drinking and swapping lies stories.  I will be onsite early Friday afternoon to get the Group F campground taken care of.  Arrive whenever you can, stay as long as you like.

When:
Friday September 24th through Sunday September 26th
There will be no raindate

Where:
Seneca Shadows Campground near Seneca Rocks, WV

Campsites:
I'm going to reserve the "Group F" campsite as our "home base" which can accomodate up to 40 people, but only has 5 tent pads (all tents must be on tent pads).  It looks like you can have 2 tents per pad if they are not too big. If we get enough people another group site can be reserved, or people can just reserve regular sites and gather at the Group F "home base" for cooking/drinking/swapping lies around the fire.

If you want to stay in the group site post up and I'll add you to the list.  It will be $60/night divided by how many people we can get on the site.  Group F campers will reimburse me on arrival.

Regular campsites are $13 - $19/night depending on location.  The large group of "walk-in" sites are supposed to have good views of Seneca Rocks. Those not staying in the group site should make their own reservations.

Food:
I don't normally cook while camping, so if you do here's your chance to shine.  Our group site has 5 grills and 5 fire rings, so there will be ample room for food prep.  I'm sure we can work out some collection of money for the chef(s).

Nearby Restaurants:
Front Porch Restaurant and Harper's General Store are nearby
If anyone knows of more post up and I'll add them.

Motels: (for those not wishing to camp *cough*Chris*cough*)
Again, I don't know the area too well.  If anyone knows of lodging nearby add it to the thread.

Alcohol
I could find nothing mentioning an alcohol policy, but you generally don't get hassled at public campgrounds if you keep a low profile.  Don't ride in with 2 cases of Yuengling on your seat and we should be good.

The Front Porch restaurant and Yoder's store is just a walk over the hill from the Campground.  The last I checked, the 4U is still closed.  But, there is another small family restaurant about 5-10 miles south of the campsite.

No problem on sharing my pad  Thumbsup.  Let's wait on the funds though until we know how many people we get.  More people = less money.

FYI... for anyone who's looking for this sort of thing, I'll be doing a ~ 200 mile dual sport ride.  It will be big bike friendly (i.e. 990, GS, Strom etc...).


The ride will start at the campsite:

And it will cover the following:

Spruce Knob

Middle Mountain Rd.

If there's interest I can do a nice pavement ride. I know some good roads in the area. And that's approaching color peak in the area as well. Anyone?

I'm probably in for an "other" site.  I doubt you can get two tents on one of those tent pads.  Unless they are much larger than a standard tent pad.

R Doug is right. The 4 U is still for sale and closed. I always ate there. We tried to eat at the
Front Porch restaurant. We got a menu right away. After waiting ten minutes to order, we left. We got  pulled pork sandwiche from a vendor in front of the store. Smoke Hole Road is doing fine.

The tent pads are 13x14, which is pretty large.  Here's some pics that I have of the sites:
