There are two reasons for my score:
The first is the photos of the campsite I picked (campsite #9) were angled so it appeared it was an isolated site while in actuality it was butted right up on site 10.
The second reason, and a more greivious issue, was the constant noise from Hwy 65. It sounded as though the highway ran straight through the campground.
I will never stay at this campground again.

Overall Tyler Bend is a nice campground. It was great to have a shower facility available but it definitely needs an upgrade. Also it didn't seem like the bathrooms were cleaned in the 3 days I was there. Site 4 was pretty nice, but it was very close to 5. These two sites together would be great for a group. Cell coverage is great, with multiple bars of Verizon 5G available at all times.
