Some mention

noise

"Most campers found Lower Campground relaxing, quiet (especially at the end of the season), and a hidden gem with beautiful, easy-to-access trails and nearby towns to visit. While the majority of reports are very positive, one reviewer felt the site layout is cramped (inner ring) and some sites are right on the campground road (outer ring), and a few minor facility issues and wildlife (raccoons) were noted."
