If you want to party all night in the woods with loud music, this is your place. The facilities weren't terrible for a campground and the sites were mostly flat. We had a no water/electric site so can't speak to that. If you have a camper, there are some sites but the drive way has a gravel road with a somewhat steep hill so be prepared to tow up that with whatever you have.

For the meat of our experience, the first night wasn't terrible. We were placed close to another site which seemed a little odd since their weren't many campers and we could have been placed further away but didn't concern us at first. The first night, they stayed up fairly late talking and had a small child crying fairly often, it happens and we expected about the same the next night.

The second night was horrible and something I've never had to deal with before. The other site was actually really quiet at first and we thought we would be lucky since it was 10pm and nothing had really started up there. Then at about 11pm a new car who had never been there comes in with their music blaring as they drive to the site and a group of drunk and loud people got out and everything started. I asked them nicely to keep it down so my family could sleep and was simply told that they planned to continue and it was their right to party here.

I had to drive to the owners B&B since he wouldn't answer his phone. There he simply told me he wasn't going to do anything about it and we could move to another site if we wanted. If I am going to take down my tent and move my family in the middle of the night, it wasn't going to be to anywhere else in his mostly empty campground. We packed up the car and drove four hours back home in the middle of the night. That may seem extreme but we have no security from drunk people in the middle of the night. If we had called the police on them, there was nothing stopping them or friends from returning to the campground angry. There is no security stopping anyone from entering the grounds.

I've been around enough to find there are two main groups in the woods, those who want to get drunk and loud and those who want to actually enjoy being away from crowds and the noise. If you are part of the first group, this is your place. If you are part of the second, go to the state park or Benner's.
