What stood out? Our group of eight families/campers returned for the second year to Pine Acres and this will be our last!

I could understand if I was booked for a week/month however I was only booked for 2 days ($74) which has resulted in a 40% cancellation fee...I camp a lot and I have never heard of such an exhorbitant fee especially...

Brian gave us this review on 6/14/01:

We had the unfortunate opportunity to stay at this campground last summer. First and foremost, the place is surrounded by stagnant water and mosquitoes. Secondly, the beach looks like an ashtray and the pond water is as brown as root beer My daughter was playing in the sand and found a fishing lure. They advertise the fact that they have a water slide and miniature golf, but these items cost extra above and beyond...

Additional comments by Carl on 6/24/01:

We too camped there last year. It was our first and last time there. Like Brian's response, we found the place absolutely deplorable. My daughter and her family rented a pop up that leaked, smelled musty and the electric appliances didn't work properly. Someone was supposed to come down and fix things but never did. They did offer her another weekend free to make up for the problems, but she said...

Donna M gave us this review on 05/16/04.

Approx Dates of Stay: This was a drive thru on my way to visit other sites. Overall Campground Rating: not good. What stood out? There were mostly seasonal sites. Minimal transient sites. The pond they considered to be swimable looked to me like it was polluted. Owners and Staff: Didn't speak with them other than to request permission to drive through. Camp landscaping and surroundings: Roads were very narrow to drive on. They were all one way streets due to the narrowness of the roads.

Overall Site...
