Family Reunions near Bear Rocks Preserve

Single properties or clusters that hold 15 or more people, with a commercial-size kitchen or a pavilion. State park group camps and lodge buyouts handle the largest parties.

Bear Rocks Preserve is a Nature Conservancy tract of about 480 acres at the northern edge of Dolly Sods in Grant County, on the lip of the Allegheny Front. Wind-stunted spruce, sandstone outcrops and heath barrens sit above a 3,000-foot drop toward the South Branch valley, and it is the most photographed sunrise spot in the Potomac Highlands. Forest Road 75 reaches the parking area on rough gravel.
