Fort Massac State Park - Metropolis, Illinois

 Campsite **
 
If we had only spent a few nights here, the rating would have been more like a 4+ or 5.  It is a nice campground, with large sites, with level asphalt parking pads, and area to park your car.  Good grassy area between sites.  Good shade, but we were able to get good satellite reception with the portable satellite.  We were surprised at how few sites were occupied, even on the weekend.  There was only about 6 sites occupied most of the time we were there.
 
But, after being there 4 nights, the breaker on our pedestal started tripping, with only 2 AC's on and one other item (hair dryer, dishwasher, etc.).  The camp host came over and replaced our breaker.  All was good until the next afternoon.  We lost power again, but discovered it was a problem with a power outage that effected about 1/2 of the campground.  We were the only ones in the campground using 50 amp.  The camp host reset the main breaker.  But, we lost power about 6 times that afternoon and evening.  We decided to leave the next day, a day early.
 
Water and Electric only.
