 When you decide where you want to go camping, what is the most significant determining factor for selecting a campground?

 TrlrboyAHCK!  This is terrible, I cannot pick just one of those.  I think yes, it must be the bathrooms, but then I think yeah, but what if the sites are just a big parking lot.  What about the shady sites along the lake option?  Then I figure, what if the bathhouse was just awful?
 
 I might could get around the bath house issue, cause I can always clean the bathhouse, I ve done that before.  Case in point Fairfield State Park, when the club camped there, Kaitlind refused to use the bath house because of the SWARMS of dead bug carcasses in there, so I went up and swept them all out of the cob webs, and seating areas in the showers, etc, and cleaned the place up.  I realized after the cleaning crew had come by that they weren t going to do it, so I did.
 
 Somehow though that doesn t get me to narrowing this down the THE MOST important feature.

 That is why I have my own bath room in my trailer.  We don t use the shower a lot, but when we need it I love it.

 TrlrboyI find my vote changes with the season.  Too hard to pick just one..for us it s a combination...bathhouses are less important since we have a hybrid.

 TrlrboyI did pick the " large, shady site"  choice, but I think really my most important consideration is how kid-friendly is the campground.  Like , is there a pool, lake, laundry facilities. etc.  I need to know in advanced how to prepare our family.  2nd choice is distance from sites we want to see.

 TrlrboyThe roomy, shady campsites in the woods. Of course!
 Add being remote, 24 sites or less and thats where we like to go.

 TrlrboyI chose the sites around a lake, (or river, or ocean, or anywhere to paddle!) BUT I really like Roomy, Shady Sites around a like, river or ocean! Secluded sites, clean bathrooms would be a plus! NO planned activities. NO Playgrounds near my site. (I love kids, but not screaming and crying at 6 am!!! Sorry, I turn 50 in 10 days, I m cranky!)
 A pair of Loons calling on the lake would be a definite plus!

 Trlrboyactually its all of the above...but it has to have clean bathrooms...i will never ever go to codorus in PA again, because the BR/shower was filthy and not cleaned the whole time we where there...and in the showers....you share the dirty water with the other two showers...and the plug was stopped up....with what looked like gobs and gobs of long dog hair.

 TrlrboyIf you can not go to the bathroom, nothing else matters, the trip is over.

 TrlrboyI don t see an option for me.. but my #1 reason is
 
 I OWN IT! [:D][:D][:D]
 
 forgot to add, it is a shady lot by the lake, the bathhouses are clean and Walmart is just a mere 5 miles from my cabin [:D][:D]

 TrlrboyTricky, we should be allowed to order them in priority according to us.
