I always start with Campgrounds reviews.com
If I'm not comfortable in what is written in the reviews or just to few I will then research trip adviser or google.
There are a couple of tools on the campground reviews web site that will help you in this. First is the number of reviews. If there are 2 reviews, well one is the camp ground and one is the nearest competitor. So you cam pretty much throw out the high and low.
The other is the previous reviews by the reviewer. If you see a bad review and discover that particular reviewer basically hates everything, that would lead me to disregard that review. Some people aren't happy until you aren't happy.
Finally, my cutoff is a rating of 7.5. This is from personal experience.
