Which Campground Will You Never Go Back To
I have been to many, but there is really only one I will never go back to, Candy Hill in Winchester, VA. This is not a bash on them, just curious as to others black listed places.

Lake Louise in Canada. Very beautiful, well kept, well designed, great location, clean bathrooms, nice people, great weather.
But.
There is a grade crossing right next to the campground, and the freight trains are required to blast their horns as they approach the crossing, all night long, every few minutes. Earplugs, white noise machine, closed windows -- nothing helped. We got almost no sleep.
Many of the campgrounds in the Canadian Rockies are near the train tracks -- there is not that much level ground, and the parks were developed by the railroads (or with their assistance) in order to promote ridership. (And I am grateful to them for that!) The downside is that there is a lot of train noise in a lot of places. The other campgrounds were ok, but Lake Louise was in a class all by itself.
