What you should know
Railroad noise considerations: Some campgrounds have nearby train tracks. "The only real negatives would be the proximity to some railroad tracks, which can be somewhat active and very audible in some spots (you'll want to stay towards the south / front of the park if this kind of thing bothers you)," advises a camper about The Villages RV Park.
Seasonal camper presence: Many RV parks near Oneida host numerous seasonal campers who maintain semi-permanent setups. "There are a lot of seasonal campsites that have decks, nice furniture out at their spots. They all left Sunday afternoon yet the rigs stay there," observes B M. at Streamside RV Park.
Site selection factors: Butternut Hill RV Campground offers well-drained sites. "It rained really hard one day of the event, and though the access roads got a little muddy, the campsites seem well drained and did not get muddy. The campsites all back to the woods on the west side, so this serves as a good windbreak too," notes Janet R.
Tips for camping with families

Privacy considerations: Some campgrounds offer more seclusion than others.
