5 stars for spooky factor!

This campground is located at the end of Robin's Pond road where the Paulding Light is seen.

The campground offers no amenities, only a rock fire ring is provided. There are only 3 cleared areas known as campsites at the end of the road, but they are nicely spread out. This setting is PERFECT for telling ghost stories and watching the light!! The atmosphere is cool if your into the spooky factor, but the campsites don't offer much, basic and primitive. Which is why I gave only 2 stars.

The Paulding Light ( copied from link provided) The Paulding Light, also known as “Ghost Light,” can be seen every night, just above the vast line of trees and power lines in the rural area called Robbins Pond road. It slowly flickers on like a candle, burning brighter and hovering like a fire ball among the stars for several seconds. It has been reported to be a range of colors like a bright white, to a reddish-orange, and even green.http://www.blumhouse.com/2016/06/09/the-strange-mystery-of-the-paulding-light/

It was dark when I visited to watch the light, no photos, sorry. Oh, yeah...bring bug spray!
