What you should know
Campsite privacy varies: Site spacing and privacy differ significantly between parks.

It's a shame because it's a beautiful park in a beautiful area."

Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby highways or industrial operations. At Lake-In-Wood Campground, a visitor pointed out: "There is a quarry close by so you could hear the trucks beeping and the noise from there but that was the only negative thing."
Tree sap issues: Wooded sites can present unexpected challenges. A camper at Pine Hill RV Park observed: "While there are some nice large pine trees, they were trimmed and not an issue driving through the park or at our site. The only problem with the trees was the pine sap everywhere that we stuck to our shoes and we tracked everywhere."
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Look for campgrounds with diverse recreational facilities. At Lake-In-Wood Campground, a visitor highlighted: "Nice playground for the kids and a small arcade. We had a great time and will definitely go back."
Age-appropriate events: Some parks consider different age groups when planning activities. A camper at Appalachian Camping Resort observed: "I find that a lot of campground activities tend to be centered around small children and with my kids being 13 and 12, they're usually left out of the fun. There was bingo, crafts, a vendor craft show, hot dog eating contest for adults and kids, candy scramble in the dark for adults and kids."
Animal encounters: Several campgrounds offer interactions with animals. At Lake-In-Wood, a visitor mentioned: "Goats to pet and watch. There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others."

Tips from RVers
Level site availability: Site conditions vary widely between campgrounds. An RVer at Robin Hill Campground cautioned: "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site!.. Our Usual disconnect and set up time less than an hour!"
Interior road navigation: Campground layout impacts larger RV maneuverability. At Spring Gulch, a visitor noted: "Roads and campsites are gravel and very easy for RVs of any size to navigate the roads and sites. The majority of their sites are pull-thrus catering to the many RVs that stop for a night or two."
Seasonal site selection: Weather impacts campsite conditions differently throughout the year. A Robin Hill camper advised: "It's too bad it is mainly seasonal sites back there. This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts."
RV site spacing: Site dimensions vary significantly between parks. At Appalachian Camping Resort, a camper warned: "The buddy site was very narrow and since our buddy arrived first we had no choice but to park farther down on the site to avoid our awnings touching and that left us very uneven. It was a hill and no matter how many times we adjusted, we just could not get leveled."
