Beautiful campground- we keep our travel trailer here and its first class. Well kept - clean and quiet and super close to the beach. The most affordable and absolutely wonderful spot if your looking for a nice quiet place to keep your trailer and have access to all chincoteague has to offer. 5 stars 🔥

Management and/or owners are not hospitable nor are they professional. In a small, quaint, and generally jubilant beach town this campground falls very short in hospitality and professionalism.

Not sure what is happening. They used to be strict with dogs, but lately, a large dog has been using the middle of our campsite - 3 times in less than 2 months - and the owners have stopped cleaning up after their dogs. I see dog waste everywhere and it stinks horribly. There needs to be a section that is dogs only and not allow them near non-dog owner sites. We have a small child and this is just not safe. If it weren’t for that, it’s perfect. Quiet, under beautiful trees, and not a lot of cars going by which makes it safer for children. Pool is nice in the summer. I pray they handle the out of control dog owners.

Off season experience was perfect. Private and quiet tent site in what felt was a wildlife refuge. The tent sites face water. You can hear so many different species of birds morning to night. Burn rings available for campfires. If you arrive later just pay the next day. The owner was absolutely lovely. This is camping so be prepared for mosquitoes and ticks. There are bathhouses with showers and a play set for children. No shortage of picnic tables. $45/night plus tax for basic setup. Cannot wait to come back!

Quiet park....sites are tight in general. We got a nice spacious site beside the pool. We stayed off season. Ponds and hobby farm to walk and explore. I enjoyed farm feeding times with lots of animals and birds. Internet at office area only. $70 per night. Friendly office staff and handy to walk or drive to main town.

I had a question about my dogs staying with me and was so happy to receive a reply within an hour. ... A BIG YES CAN'T WAIT PINE GROVE SOUNDS WONDERFUL

We love our camper here. It's a quite campground and the neighbors are great. The kids love the ponies and llamas not to mention going around looking for peacocks. There is a small little pool for the hot days of summer. The only downfall is there isn't a lot of activities for the kids so if that's what you are looking for, this isn't the campground for you.
