Forest Road 209 Access

Forest Road 209 provides access to the Stonecoal Dispersed Camping area along Shavers Fork, featuring 15 campsites for RVs and tents with river views, two vault toilets, and a natural spring for drinking water.

The road was recently reopened in August 2025 after bridge replacement over Red Run and is known for solitude and rustic camping opportunities. Note that the road has tight turning areas, so visitors should exercise caution with larger RVs.
