Pine Ridge Campground is located on the ridgetop above Pounds Hollow Lake and offers 13 electric sites and 22 non-electric campsites, each with a picnic table, latern pole and fire ring with grill. Water spigot is located at the campground entrance across from pay station. 20, 30 & 50 amp at electric campsites.
At 25 acres, Pounds Hollow Lake is large enough to provide its many visitors some seclusion during their visit. This day-use area offers swimming, picnicking, fishing, boating and hiking. No public boat ramp is available. There are several lakeside picnic sites, plus a fishing pier and a large picnic shelter overlooking the beach. The skilled craftsmanship of the Civilian Conservation Corpsmen (CCC) can still be seen today in the hand-cut sandstone foundation of the picnic shelter.
Only small boats and electric motors are allowed on the lake. The lake contains largemouth bass, channel catfish and sunfish. The tranquil surroundings of the area are a great way to spend an afternoon enjoying the outdoors.

Beautiful spot. Campgrounds are well maintained and campsites are spaced well enough apart. Went during the week and we had the whole place to ourselves. There's water available at the entrance, no restrooms or shower facilities but it's a great tent camping site if that's your thing. The scenery is just amazing. You have to see the lake!
Large camp sites, good distance between each site.
Good lake, nice facilities at the lake with beach area.
Some Trails along lake not well maintained, lots poison Ivy all around!
