Scales is a campground and the junction of five different trails, including the Appalachian Trail. Though referred to as a campground, it's not that official; it’s a fenced-off field with no officially marked campsites that the Forest Service allows you to camp in. Once you leave Fairwood Road, you come to Pine Mountain Road. It's a gravel ride but also a road, so it's wide enough and well maintained enough for cars.
