They're not on top of each other, although you can see your neighbors. The staff was wonderful--incredibly friendly. They sell wood if you need wood (for a fair price, too), and they have books to borrow in the check-in cabin if you want a book to read (and movies if you have an RV, or a device that plays movies). There are some decent features to the grounds, also. They have a playground on the campsite, as well as basketball hoops. Right outside the campsite is Thompson lake, where you can fish, boat, and kayak. They have a pretty big disc golf course, which we enjoyed, and some hiking trails. I would definitely come back to this campsite. I'm a big fan of Recreation.gov, and this was one of the better ones I've been to.

We stayed here when the tornado occurred on 8/18/21 and we were fine. The tent kept us nice and dry and it was beautiful and sunny after the storm. If you like hiking, there are some descent trails around the lake and the airline trail is also nearby. Putnam is also a cute little town that is worth a visit. Walmart and grocery stores are about 10 minutes away too. This years hosts and the hosts in 2019 were both incredibly friendly and helpful. They did a great job at keeping the place well maintained.

I know it's awful cause I don't remember her name but that's besides the point. This place is so great! There are a lot of families but a few younger people, I was afraid I was gonna be the only person solo camping. But everyone is so friendly the vibe is very relaxed. They had a car show today which was awesome! One thing to know is the traffic noise from the road. You can definitely notice it but that's obviously not on them, just know ahead of time that you'll be able to hear cars. All and all I'm very pleased with this campground and will definitely be coming back next season!!

I was so disappointed with this place. When you talk to the people on the phone they are so kind…read moreand so friendly and I was looking forward to the weekend. It was our first weekend of camping and we actually did stay an extra night. But we only stayed the extra night to see our friends who we haven't seen in a long time. Otherwise we have would've been out of there probably Saturday morning after arriving on Friday night. As we drove up to the campground I could see junk cars lining the street before the entrance. Then we pulled into the campground and were immediately accosted by the dumpster with piles of junk next to it and a house with a bunch of boats and farm equipment in the yard. Mike went up and registered which was simple and easy. Then we went through the gate and around to our campsite. As we drove to our campsite there was a tractor parked in the middle of the road and we had to drive around it on the grass to get to our campsite. That seemed odd. Then we drove to this field which had a nice green grass but no trees and this was where our campsite was located. Now we live in a city in Rhode Island and on a road that is fairly busy but not nearly as busy as the road that was about three campers length from our campsite. I was absolutely floored that we would be spending the weekend that close to a very busy road and listening to that traffic constantly. Then I looked around behind our campsite and there were piles and piles and huge piles of junk. Piles of wood , piles of equipment, piles of metal, piles of stone. It was just junk everywhere. Definitely a hoarder's farm. So on one side we had the main road with the traffic and behind us our view was of a bunch of junk. And it just didn't end there. Everywhere you looked was junk. It was like camping in a junkyard. We took a drive the next day because we had read that this was a popular campground with decent ratings. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that is. We saw many sites which appeared to be seasonal sites. We saw several places where new construction was going on. None of the construction was completed and they actually had a functioning gravel bank right in the campground. There were campers parked next to it and across from it. The newer campsites had gravel instead of grass where you would park your camper. I could see that many people had been seasonal there for a long time because they had their own lawns and sheds and decorations that appear to have been there a long time. But when you got to the end of pretty much every road there was construction equipment working on the weekend, there was construction equipment lying on the side of the road, there was just more junk everywhere. As far as amenities, they have a man-made springfed pond. They do say that it is stocked but there is no swimming pool. They have a baseball field that needs reseeding because the grass is terrible. They do have a playground which looked pretty good. They had a couple of activities the weekend we arrived but we did not take part in them because we are still avoiding crowds. I wish I could say something good about them besides the fact that they are kind and friendly people but I can't. We will never go back again it was just not an experience that was relaxing and that rural atmosphere that you look for when you camp.

A great family weekend! Pine Lake RV Resort and Cottages was refreshingly surprising. I would give…read moreit a strong 4.5 stars due to a few minor glitches, but because they didn't spoil the fun, I am giving it a 5. The cabins were immaculate. The one-bedroom was roomy, had a pull-out couch, and came fully appointed with pots, pans, dishes, paper towels, toilet paper, and toiletries. The cabins outside of the pet-friendly area also have linens included. Our group rented a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, and each site came with a fire pit that was perfect for making s'mores. There is plenty to do here. You can relax at your campsite, go fishing in the lake, or participate in a plethora of activities like cornhole, pickleball, basketball, arts and crafts, swimming in the pool, renting a kayak, or playing pool. The kids' absolute favorite was the watermelon contest! There is also a fitness room, which is great to have if the weather isn't ideal for walking. For a caution to families, I felt the ice cream and coffee shop was a bit overpriced, especially if you have a large family. It also didn't open early enough for morning coffee. However, you can easily avoid those extra costs by cooking at your site, bringing ingredients for your own coffee drinks, and picking up a carton of ice cream at a local store. On the plus side, the taco and potato bar was better than expected with lots of options, and the $15 per person price tag seemed reasonable. There was plenty of comfortable seating around the green. The camp store also had a good selection, including worms for fishing. It is interesting that the campground is not far from I-84, because when you are there, it feels like you are deep in the woods and far from civilization. I hope we can return for another family weekend in the future!

If you're thinking this is a family campground and taking your kids be ready to explain a lot of behavior. Like drinking and driving golf carts? Blasting music till quiet hour while harassing weekenders who drive 1mile over the 5mph speed limit? Then this place is for you. Fear not if you've run out of booze, there's a fully functioning bar down back. Bored? Have you ever been in a knife fight? Well that happens here to. The owner (Kim) doesn't keep track of paperwork or your deposit so I suggest you do. It's the same crafts for the kids it's been for the 5 years we were seasonal. The electric is severely outdated and the WiFi isn't strong enough to actually use it. Dogs are allowed to bark nonstop and if you complain be ready to be told "that's what dogs do". The upgrades to the campground are nonexistent but the upgrades shes made to her house that's on the same property are definitely noticeable. Just know your money isn't going into the campground it's going to her house. Just go to George Washington. It's right down the road. It's quiet, peaceful and clean. No drunks and excessively loud live music. It's a campground not a bar.

Welcome to Douglas Forest "Resort" - Where the Dreams Are Piped In Through Faulty Wiring…read more Let me save you a trip and a fuse box: this place is a resort in the same way a gas station sushi joint is a Michelin restaurant. The only thing going for it is the location--it's beautiful. But once you pull in, reality hits harder than a tripped breaker on a 98-degree day. Let's start with the reviews. If you're wondering how this place has so many 5-star ratings, look a little closer. Many of them seem to come from folks involved with the park. Meanwhile, the previous owners--who were legally ordered to step away--are still lurking in the shadows, running daily operations and helping steer this ship straight back into the rocks. Now for the electrical system, or as I like to call it: RV Roulette. The power grid is a Frankenstein mess--unapproved upgrade plans, no visible progress, and pedestals that are more mouse motel than utility box. We found nests, droppings, and yes, actual live mice chilling next to open wiring. Some sites are daisy-chained with up to four RVs. It's like Burning Man, minus the vibe and with way more voltage risk. Several guests lost appliances or sustained damage to their rigs. Hope your surge protector's got good life insurance. Water? Recently turned on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it plays hard to get. The well pump has a flair for dramatic power failures, too. Wi-Fi? Not a chance. Unless you're close enough to mooch off an employee's personal hotspot, you're flying blind. Want to stream? Work remotely? Even open email? Bring your own bandwidth. The roads? Imagine the surface of the moon... but angrier. They're rocky, uneven, and unfinished. Some corners are blocked by decorative boulders that apparently double as RV traps. Walking your site route before driving it in isn't just smart--it's survival. Accessibility is a full-blown joke. Most campsites are covered in loose stone--completely unusable for anyone with mobility challenges. The one "ADA-compliant" ramp has a lip like a curb. The lone ADA bathroom is at the front of the park, far from most sites. The men's restroom? Still under construction despite promises to have it ready last month. The women's room? Recently reopened without stall dividers. Charming. The pool is saltwater and shallow (4 feet max), with a heater that's just for show. Kids run wild on four-wheelers, often unsupervised, cutting through campsites and treating quiet hours like a suggestion. Staff shrugs. Rules? What rules? Oh, and let's not skip the homeless encampments. I've got zero issue with people trying to live quietly--but if you're going to slap "Resort" on the sign, maybe start by making it feel like something more than a forgotten lot with plumbing. Bottom line: Douglas Forest RV Resort is a bait-and-switch. Great location, sure--but everything else is half-baked, mismanaged, or downright unsafe. If you value your time, your rig, your safety, or your sanity, I'd look elsewhere. Unless of course, you enjoy playing "Guess That Smell" while dodging feral children on ATVs. In that case--book early!
