Just woke up and crawled out of bed, grabbed a coffee and watched Mother Nature put on spectacular performance! Thank you Pierres Point Campground. Our adventure was many years ago, and by the way your campground looks now we'll definitely be stopping by on our next trip out that way. I finally got a round to scanning Our old photo albums onto our PC. The Young maan who took us .in and registered us was a very nice young man. And although the mini golf course was in very rough shape he gave us what we needed to play, for nothing. And that little treat meant alot to me and my husband Thanks again.

Lovely little old school, family friendly(dogs too) campground. It's well kept, cleaned daily, and the staff couldn't be more kind. We especially loved the dod beach. One one the best! The only hitch...some of the seasonal residents forget that tents are thin as paper😆. Great place to stay, non the less.

Our stay was AWESOME! The staff were lovely. The amenities were clean. Mini golf was great. Playground was nice. We stayed in a tent with our 3 year old and 6 year old and we are normally trailer campers. We all slept great, the train was not a problem. Beach front camping. You cant ask for a better spot.

Really cute campsite with a great view. The trains slow down as they are going through, you know there is a train but it is not loud enough to be disruptive of your camping experience, The staff are very friendly and they work hard to keep the space clean. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean for a camping experience. We saw staff puttering around cleaning all day, they even clean all the aquatic plants off the shoreline so you don’t have to walk through slimy plants to go swimming.

Great little campground! We had a beautiful lot with a great view of the lake. The dog beach was a perfect place to chill with our pooch while we spent the afternoon in the water! The bathrooms and showers were clean and the dishwasher station was a plus. Con: the train but the view quickly outweighs the noise.
