Had the best few days there with family and friends. We loved our cabins and the seasonal campers, as usual, were so welcoming. It was my 3rd time there and it will not be the last. Thanks Jen and Mike for everything.

Ponderosa Pines Family Campground is a charming, rustic spot that gave me all the nostalgic ’90s campground vibes, in the best way! It’s cozy, peaceful, and has that laid back atmosphere you don’t find in bigger, modern resorts. We stayed in one of the cabins and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was for our family of 7. The loft was a huge hit with the kids! While the sites are on the smaller side, we never felt cramped, and the layout still felt comfortable and family-friendly. The pool was clean and refreshing, a great way to cool off during the day. The little on site store itself was convenient, and the real star? Their friendly resident cat who loves attention and happily greets everyone who stops by! My kids wanted to keep going back to the store to pet her! If you’re looking for a simple, relaxed camping experience with a bit of old-school charm, Ponderosa Pines fits the bill. We’ll definitely stay again when we’re in the neighborhood.

This used to be a great campground. Then they upped prices, decided if you want a friend to stop by your campsite for an hour you have to pay additional (and not just $5/person like most places), and above all that there is no dump station for RVs anymore. Sure the hole is still there but when asked they told us most people are going down to other campgrounds to dump because they have no way of fully dumping since there's no hose. We had to drive down to Keen Lake to dump and use their actual dump station that has what you need to do it right. PP is absolutely disgusting that they don't have this option. How can they raise the price and lower the service? Ridiculous, we won't be coming back.

Both owners were helpful and nice. We booked a site that wasn't good for tent camping and they were able to help us rebook to a lake front tent site. The pond was perfect for fishing! We had a blast

We just came back from Ponderosa Pine's Halloween Weekend. This is an old school, clean, amazing family campground. My family has spent the last two seasons here and we have loved everything about it. The pool is immaculate, the miniature golf is fun, and the weekend activities are great for kids without being overpriced. The owners are some of the nicest people, and the other seasonal campers are great too! We cannot wait to come back next year, especially for the Independence Day Celebration.

Mike (the owner) is a great guy. I can tell he works hard to keep the place clean. My girlfriend and I had a great time there this past weekend (tent camping). We stayed in the rustic spots. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who’s trying to get a small private camp spot that’s not on top of trailers for a weekend. Thanks.

My husband and I stayed at Ponderosa Pines September 2021 in a full-service, pull-through site near the bay. You should plan to eat at home. There aren’t many restaurants nearby, but the park store had a good supply of food items like bacon, eggs, milk, juices, hotdogs, s’mores supplies……and other items campers might need. The owner was very nice and full of good information. The park is only a mile from Hopewell Rocks! It’s so close that after check-in we set up camp and went into the park at about 4:30 pm (free)to see high tide and then came back the next morning (buying tickets) to see low-tide. We joined a park ranger for a guided tour and spent about 3 hours roaming the beach. Then we came “home” ate, relaxed and went back to watch the tide come in and flood the beach we had just spent the day walking on! Ponderosa Pines has miles of wonderful walking trails on the property too and we just loved this park. People have different things they want out of RV parks. This one is peaceful, full of natural beauty and the full-hookups I want. We are full-time RVers and this is one of my top 10 favorite places to park.

Had a great time.anf looking forward to next yr. Just like I rememberd from the 90s. The kids were all so happy. Just hope they were respectful to all the staff. Didn't get to meet the new owners. But your doing a great job. Hope to see you all next August. ..

I feel in this place like it is my calling. From clean grounds, to astonishing views. So relaxing by the water. To the friendliest service, family owned and operated. Have nothing but praise for this camp site. Will be back
