Sites are spacious but many lack the vegetation and privacy between neighboring sites provided at other rustic campgrounds. Still, there is far more space and privacy here than at a typical RV park.
Campers can choose options ranging from sunny sites with little tree cover to deeply shaded sites that stay cool and dark even on hot summer days.
The lake bottom at the beach is in dire need of raking. What may once have been a nice swimming area has grown in with lake vegetation. The area is still swimmable if one doesn’t mind weeds and shallow water. You’ll need to walk or swim out far, far from shore to reach deep water in this part of Pine Lake.
The campground has one hand pump; its water was clear and good tasting.
On-site hosts were friendly and had a visible presence. Vault toilets were clean, common areas were mowed and well maintained - aside from the swimming area.
On a stormy, cold August weekend, seven of twelve sites were occupied. Hosts say the campground rarely fills to capacity. Everything here is first-come, first-served; no need to worry about reservations.
