Anyone have any experience on site 62, as far as concerns about being so close to restrooms/septic area? Especially for a weekend at end of September? We're also considering sites 85, or possibly 73/74 . but aren't sure and are weighing factors -- traffic noise from M25, restroom proximity, lake-views/hill sites as well as being in more flood-prone or mosquito areas...

Q:
Aren't your confusing Grindestone City (EAST of Port Austin) which is a real "ghost town" for Caseville (WEST of Port Austin) which is full of life?
A:
I am rather sure that the ghost-town is east of Port Austin -- Grindstone City, not Caseville. Caseville is a thriving small town and is west of Port Austin.
