What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in this hilly region have uneven sites that require preparation. A visitor to Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA notes: "I couldn't get it level with my Anderson levelers it was pretty slopped. On my way out I heard they were having someone come in to level the sites."
Limited shower facilities: Some locations have minimal bathroom facilities relative to their size. A camper observed: "There's one 1950's bathhouse with a few stalls for hundreds of RV sites but they figure you're self-contained I suppose."
Noise considerations: Weekends tend to be busier and louder at most locations. One camper shared their experience: "I would have to recommend that if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place to camp and sleep under the stars that you look elsewhere."
