monte sano state Park, Huntsville Al.
We need to stay here for about a week for a family emergancy. I have looked at maps but they were not very clear. Could someone give me clear directions to this park from I-65 at the Tenn. Ala. state ...

Coming South on I-65 - take I-565 toward Huntsville.
Take exit 19C. Merge left onto Washington Street NW, then turn right onto Pratt Ave. NW. At this point you will see signs to Montesano State Park.
Continue on Pratt - it becomes Bankhead Pkwy NE. Follow the signs. Pretty steep hill on the way in, but roads are good.
Montesano is a nice park, but older, so some sites may be short. Mention the length of your camper when you check in. They will usually let you pick a site first.
Good luck
Do Not take Bankhead Pkwy. Take Memorial Pwky SE south to Governors Dr SW. Take Governors Dr up the mountain to Monte Sano Blvd at top of hill. Monte Sano has some WES sites so ask about that. It is older but we've never had a problem fitting.
What's wrong with Bankhead Pkwy? Been that way many times. Sure the hill up to Monte Sano is easier from Governor's, but I'm trying to make it easier on Limit4 who is not familiar with Huntsville.
First, there is no Memorial Pkwy SE. It's Memorial Pkwy SW. Then, there is no interchange from Memorial Pkwy SW to Governor's. The turn is from the frontage road. So if he goes that way, he needs to get to the frontage road off of 231. That's confusing to explain.
Heck, I started to bring him in using exit 17B to Governor's from I-565, but the signage is confusing that way. Just trying to make it easy for him.
