Stuart Recreation Area, WV
We are heading to this next weekend and was wondering what to expect. Could not find many reviews on the internet. We've got a 22' Class C so size is no issue, just wondering about the campground etc....

Stuart turned out to be a very nice quiet campground. 25 sites or so with ample space/bushes in between for privacy. It's small, electric at sites for 30A, water available at park locations but not at each site. You can see where they must have had some severe storm damage but have managed to clean it up nicely. Double walled fire pits, with grates, picnic table, lantern stand etc.
Quiet times were just that, very quiet. We didn't have a fire since it was extremely hot during the day, and the fact that the baseball game was on the following night on XM.
Didn't check out the bath house so can't report on that. The Camp hosts were friendly enough, and they cruised through making sure everything was as it should be. Mostly 5th wheels and a couple of Class C's, some sites looked too small for a lot of Class A's.
Cell Service spotty, no WiFi, a great electronic downtime weekend. Elkins WV about 5 miles away with a variety of activities if you are so inclined. Nice older out of the way campground, just the way I like them.
Next trip will probably be Senaca Shadows, they seem to be comparable. We drove through SS on the return trip to check it out. Worst part of the weekend was chasing/being chased by the thunderstorms, almost 4 solid hours of light and heavy rain etc. But well worth the time to get away.
