BEWARE CAMPERS: (Camp host gave away our site and kicked us out of the campground.) A large group of us decided to head up the hill and go camping. We reserved and paid for 3 campsites for a duration of over a week. Towards the end of our stay we, as a group, decided to go to the lake. When we came back one of our campsite was taken! The camp host decided to pull our tag and give it to someone else because there, "wasn't enough camping equipment out" over all we complained and wanted our site back, which, was paid in full for another 2 days. They would NOT give our PAID site back and eventually kicked our entire group out of our other 2 campsites. We had a total of 18 people including many small children that we had to uproot and find another spot up the hill to set up camp. Very dishonorable camp site + host to allow this kind of behavior. We will not be back. Not to mention the campground was VERY noisy 24/7.

Clean campground, security constantly patrol the area, and staff is responsive, but they have very annoying water restrictions and the road is narrow with large rocks and trees acting as boundaries to damage your vehicle. Very crowded and limited parking, a great way to generate revenue for the county through parking tickets.

Took my kids for the first time. We loved it. Will be returning next summer

The camping here was nice. You just need to get here early on a Thursday if you plan on camping over the weekend during the summer season. I got in on a friday morning and struggled to still find a spot (this camp site is first come, first serve). The only thing i did not like was that this place has no showers, but hey, you can't always have it all. But Pinecrest Lake is really nice.

Quite and remote enough to enjoy a couple of days in the wilderness. The camp is well organized, has running tap water near each camping area, bathrooms (for doing your business but no showers), and dedicated trash containers. I'd give it a 5/5 if only the bathrooms were more tidy and maintained.

Nothing like the Pinecrest area in the fall! Much more quiet. Not like the summer...the campsites seem larger than in the main campground. Too bad no open fires, but certainly understood.

It seems like this would be a great place to visit. However, while we were there the police were driving through the campgrounds dealing with violent altercations, there was a hit and run, our tires were slashed on our truck. The worst part is they threatened to tow our truck because we weren’t allowed to leave it parked there overnight even though we had a hard time finding a tow service…

Loved camp here.

Pretty nice $30 first come first serve no reservation campground about 3/4 mile from Pinecrest Lake. About 3/4 mile walk to the lake depending on camp site. Flush toilets with lights, but only a few for the whole campground. Good fresh water from spigots. Trees are slowly dying away leaving less and less shade so be nice to the trees when your here. Most camp sites have several spots for tents, and most have large paved parking pads for at least 2-3 good sized vehicles, several different types of sites from open sunny, to shady, some rocky, some in a meadow and some with tents spots down a hill. You can hear the highway from the campground louder depending on what size you campng in but its not horrible, but the semis drag brakes can be loud if late at night. They allow fires in fire pits currently when I visited. I had to review because there was no good picture of the camp site layout I could find online except their hard to read size number map posted so I had to put a good map I found of the grounds, enjoy, camp, and have fun!! 4 stars cuz its far from lake, lots of sun, limited bathrooms and neighbors houses with lights on all night long.

Great camp grounds, easy walk to the lake. Would be good if it had shower facilities though.
