Porcupine Springs was very busy when we were there (3 nights in July). Nearly all the campsites were full, and there was lots of activity including evening parties, woodworking with power tools (run by a generator), loud festivities from the nearby group site, and frequent ATV traffic. This site seems to be a destination spot for ATVers, so if that's not your thing, you might want to steer clear. Other things to know: It's fairly easy to get to via a tame dirt road - you don't need four wheel drive. You do, however, need a decent sense of where you're going as the forest service roads don't seem to be well-labeled. The campground is in a pretty spot and there are some nice walks if you're prepared to bushwhack (the only trails we found were those for ATV use). Campsites are pretty close to the road and to each other, though each seems to have a little bit of forest behind it that is pretty, and nice if you need a bit of privacy. There is no room for tents back there, though. There is no camp host or supervision, so you're on your own in dealing with any issues that might come up. There's no cell service as far as I know, regardless of provider. There's also no trash - it's strictly "pack in, pack out." There are pit toilets and potable water spigots at regular intervals throughout the campground. All in all, I would have found greater peace and quiet welcome, but Porcupine Springs did serve the purpose for which we were there (to visit with family in the outdoors), and it offered some pleasant scenery in the process.
