No EV Charging Allowed! Wet Sites
Site was pre-season opening (although no discount - almost $80/night), so there was construction during our stay. Rains resulting in site flooding - the gravel pad was fine, but had to wade into the mud & water to get to utilities for the trailer.
Dumpsters were overflowing and campground sent email to inform campers they would have to haul out their own trash.
Biggest disappointment was lack of EV charging options at this site. Didn't see the "No Charging" rule on their website when signing up, or we would have gone elsewhere.
Won't return.

Nice Private Campground - EV Friendly
Spend one night here on our way to Ohio. Owner was very friendly and allowed me to charge my Rivian onsite (I offered to pay for the extra power).
Pad was level and utilities were well located.
Check-in & check-out were seamless.
The site amenities are dated, but it is a pretty cool campground!
We would definitely return for longer!

Heather T.ScoutMosquito Lake State Park Campground
Our "trial run" place
We live really close so we stay at mosquito for our first stay every year. This year we were disappointed. They had no staff there to check us in, the signs says closed Monday through Wednesday. Bathrooms were supposed to be open because we stayed April 16th, but only some of them were. (Even though online states April 1st they reopen). Some sites are more wet than others. We stayed at site 54 this time. The pad was very narrow and it was wet around it (it has been raining a lot). The person before us must have purchased a $12 bale of hay that they were selling up front because there was hay everywhere. Wish they would just put gravel down.
Otherwise, it's quiet. We love the nature play area for the kids. We love the playgrounds.
When they are open, the bathrooms are very clean. The shower house is dated but clean. Far walk from every site basically as they put it on the main road between both loops.

A camper reports, "A very nice and clean campground with many access point to the the lake. Our camp site was in close proximity to the restroom facilities. We were fourtante that our spot was right beside the lake and we could keep the boat docked their during our stay."
Historical exploration: The Pioneer Village in Beaver Creek State Park features original buildings from early settler days. "The best part about the area was the history that surrounds it.

What campers like
Waterfront sites: At Guilford Lake State Park Campground, campers appreciate the lakeside sites. "This is definitely a smaller state campground, but has a lot going for it. Which is why it's sometimes hard to get into on the weekends. The camp sites on the water are very spacious," one visitor mentions.
Privacy levels: Many campers at West Branch State Park Campground note the secluded sites. One camper shares, "West Branch has private, spacious, shady sites. We can launch our kayaks right from our campsite. The shower house and bathrooms are large and clean."
Dark skies for stargazing: Some campgrounds offer minimal light pollution. A Beaver Creek visitor stated, "The sky was dark enough to see far more stars than you'd see near any larger towns or cities. To cap it off, we laid in our tent dozing off to the sounds of owls and coyotes!"
What you should know
Water limitations: Some campgrounds have restrictions on water usage. At Beaver Creek, one camper noted, "They are on a well so there is limited water and they don't allow you to fill up your on board tank. Make sure you fill up before you go!"

At Raccoon Creek State Park, a visitor mentioned, "This is my go to spot for camping when I have to just get away from it all.
