    The cabin that we stayed in was clean and there were plenty of activities for the kids. Our entire family, 21 people, was able to stay and had a great time.

    We had a really enjoyable stay. It was close to everything we wanted to see and do. One downside is how tight the spaces are with one another. We have a fairly small camper and just barely managed to get it parked. Maybe it was just the spot we had, but we saw several others struggling as well. The camp as a whole seems severely overcrowded.

    The site was unexpectedly small. There was no room for a campfire without burning the motorcycle or the camper. The campers were not more than 12 feet apart. Some of the other sites had ample room.. The rest rooms were clean and adequate. Small campground.

    Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry your site felt too small and understand the importance of space for campfires and parking. Some sites are more spacious, and we’re happy to help guests find a better fit when possible. We’re glad you found the restrooms clean and appreciate your comments as we work to improve. We hope you'll consider staying with us again and would love the opportunity to make your next visit more enjoyable.

    This is our third stay here. We are always loyal to great hosts/grounds. The grounds are always clean, customer service is great, and the sites on the river are breathtaking. It’s always been very quiet and peaceful here as well. I highly recommend this place!

    Nice area. My site was a little tight for a 36' motorhome. The water supply was right behind pad, but not inline with electric and sewer. I had to move to where I would miss the water line in order to back up enough to park vehicle. This made site so narrow my awning was practically touching neighbors RV. I like the area and people running campground were nice.

    This was my first time staying at Mountaineer Campground and loved it. I stayed in one of the tent sites and they come standard with water and electric. The sites are also spacious enough to accommodate my 16x16 tent, table and vehicle. Bathhouse was really clean as well. Definitely going back.
