1/2 star is being generous
We stayed at Woodland Trails Campground in Sussex, NJ in June 2018. We had a wedding to go to near there and thought we would make a fun weekend out of it. Because of car trouble, we ended up arriving after dark. The sites were very poorly marked, it was impossible to find our site. Luckily someone noticed us driving around and brought us to the site.
The site was supposed to have electric and water hookup. Electric worked but the water did not. Most of the sites were empty, so I investigated and found that none of the water hookups in the 5 sites around us worked. They looked like they had been out of service for a long time.
The website showed a beautiful lake with people swimming in it and a restaurant on the lake. I have no idea when this picture was taken but it was definitely a long time ago. The lake was full of growth and bugs. The restaurant looked like it had been closed since the zombie apocalypse.
The campground itself was mostly empty except for a few scattered tents and broken down campers. This place would be the perfect site to film a zombie or horror movie. Do not believe the website!! It is the first campground that we put the lock through the tongue to make sure our trailer wasn't stolen when we were away.
The bathrooms: This is the first time that my boyfriend even was horrified by the conditions. They were REALLY REALLY run down, dirty, exposed plumbing and wiring. He had no toilet paper in his. The only positive was that it did have hot water. I did meet a really cute cat that kept me company when I was in the bathroom. He kept guard while I brushed my teeth.
We have stayed at some pretty rundown places but this truly was the worst ever. We only stayed one night, left after the wedding because it just gave us the creeps. It could be a beautiful campground but needs major work. There are lots of trees and the sites had the potential to be spacious and secluded.
Highly recommend if you are trying to find a location to film a zombie apocalypse movie!
