Sites are narrow and park was surprisingly busy for late November. Parking is limited. Upon arrival a truck was partway into our site. Couldn’t find the owner. Finally managed to ease into the site and not damage his or our vehicles. No parking spot at all for our truck. Had to pull up into our site right besides the door side of camper. Very tight! I’d suggest numbering the parking spots so each camper Gets one and the others could Be overflow. However, the couple who managed the park were very nice and helpful and we had a great time!

Mountaineer campground was really nice. Our spot was right against the river, and the bathrooms were clean.
