This is a very nice family run camp ground. There’s a playground, basketball, mini golf and large pool. This is minutes from the lake so we were able to spend a day fishing etc no problem. The bathrooms / showers are private and very nice. Everything is clean and well kept.. We will definitely be back!

This is a very nice and clean campground. Nice swimming pool and other activities for kids to do. The bathhouse is probably one of the nicest I’ve been in. We will definitely be back!!!

We had a blast. This was our first time camping as a family. Pleasant Hills is perfectly quiet. The camp spots are a perfect size. We took out tents ⛺️, the spot we had was the right size for a family of 5 and two tents.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Pleasant Hills Campground. Staff were very pleasant. Cabin was clean. Bathrooms were extremely clean and spacious. Pool was relaxing. Dog park was very nice to play fetch w our pup. The only thing negative I have to say, is that we didn't stay longer (work obligations). We definitely will be going back and making a priority to stay longer!

We stayed here the first weekend in October. The campsites are a little tight compared to the last campground we had stayed in but otherwise this place was awesome with our 3-year-old. Cute little miniature golf course, game room, and he loved the pirate ship playground. The basketball courts looked brand new and the pool also looked lovely for the summer. The staff was friendly and the bath houses were very clean. Quick drive down to Seven Points Marina where we rented a pontoon for the day. Would definitely return!
