Old Salem Campground

My family and I live really close by to Old Salem so we visit frequently for nice weekend getaways. This past trip we took there started out to be our worst experience yet. We stayed in site 61 and my parents stayed on site 60. A different family came in on Friday and took sites 57, 59, 63, 62 and a couple in a different area. On Friday night, that same family stayed up past 2am running up and down the street, hollering, smoking pot, drinking and all out partying even though quiet hours start at 10pm. They even had a work spot light on a stand pointed straight into my parents tent keeping them up over half the night. Then the next morning one of the women tried to have words with my wife and get an attitude with her. After walking up to the gate and speaking with the couple who work there we were told that we could move to a different site and they allowed us to leave the next day well after check out time because we lost time having to pack and unpack to move. We were then told that since we had to deal with such people while trying to relax we would be given a free weekend stay. Once the workers were made aware of the situation, they had local PD often patrolling the area and they themselves rode by those sites to make sure those people weren’t disturbing anyone else during their stay. This campground is by far our favorite place to visit for an easy getaway and the two couples that work there couldn’t be nicer and more helpful. Even though we had a rough night during one trip, we will continue to go there and look forward to many more great weekend camping trips at Old Salem.

This is a nice campsite. It has space for many different size campers. There is onsite ice and washer/dryer. It also has a dock and beach area.

ANTS GALORE We have treated inside/outside x2 plus and it has knocked them down, but they are so many they just keep coming back. Also, wakes me up at least 5 times a night with ants on me. And we are inside an R.V.! We are using containers with lids for foods, they are still inside cabinets etc. You would think they would be able to treat for this issue. We have spent money on 3 didn't products. This campground has washers/dryers at no cost, love the beach area, and they have nice docks for camper's boats. The staff are super kind. But ants have definitely overtaken. Which if you can't be comfortable will make no difference. Hopefully the park mgmt will be able to do something which works. I will only return fwd if they do!

Camping was great, we love pets, but there should be some kind of limits to continue barking of dogs

2nd year there with our RV. Great spot. If the sign says spray for ants Do It!!
