I delivered a quad for someone who bought it from me. Talk about cramping! It was insane on how close those campers were to each other. It looked like a clean campground, but people are literally on top of each other. Cramping not camping.

Quiet and relaxing during the day. Or fun times swimming, mini golf, going to the jump pad or park with the kids. Special events every weekend. Fun for the whole family.

No room to move, not even a little privacy. And the bathrooms weren't close enough for the kids. People yelling, dogs barking till after 11pm.

We go and get a day pass about once/wk. Its only $5 per person for the day and u have access to both the outdoor and indoor pools, and the jump pad, and lots of other things as well - there's lots for the whole family to do there.

Rude management, manager will lie to you, foul language from people that think they run the place, drunk golf cart drivers. Total lack of security. Don’t leave anything outside overnight it will probably get stolen. 1 or 2 of the seasonal campers seem to make up the rules.
My advice avoid mt.pines at all cost. Plenty of nicer, and less expensive campgrounds in the area.
Swim at your own risk, lifeguards are more worried about what radio station they want to listen to, paying no attention to the pool.

You know who I am and you have my phone number. If you want to discuss your campground’s shortfalls you can call me.

I would give 0 stars if given the option. Manager has a serious attitude problem. There's a few permanent campers that think they own the place. If you leave anything outside overnight it will probably get stolen. My advice, AVOID mt.pines. Theres plenty of nicer campgrounds in the area. Security at mt.pines is a joke. Not to mention way too many drunks riding around on golf carts. Definitely NOT a place to take children.

It was family oriented had lots of activities for kids had trails to walk a wonderful pool that was so big and safe
But the camping sites were very close together and you had to back in the camper there was no pull through to make it easier but everything else was absolutely wonderful I would definitely recommend mountain pines campground!

Well organized and very large RV park. It seems like 90%of the sites are seasonal residents. We were greeted and escorted to our site and the gentleman even guided our back-in. The staff works hard to provide actvities that are entertaining. We were only here for one night and they had a car show, a variety of kids actvities and a Beatles tribute band concert! Sites are large but no privacy between them. We are more accustomed to wooded state parks but I am sure the seasonal residents would rate it a 5. It was fun watching everyone enjoy each other's company.lots of old friends camping together. It is a credit to the managers to keep people coming back year after year. We camped in a small motorhome.

Had a great time! Family friendly atmosphere with an amazing outdoor pool. Also have a heated indoor pool too! Everything is very laid back. Place was very clean. They stock the creek at different times they the summer and it's absolutely beautiful. The Mt. Laurel was blooming when we were here and it looked so nice. The store has all the things you may have forgot albeit at a bit of a mark up but that's what you get for convenience. We had a great first trip and will be back again!

Very nice site. Short term trailer spots a little tight. Had a great time in the pool, playing mini-golf and the arcade. Kids loved the parks. Live music was nice and facilities generally clean and in good standing. Staff was nice at every interaction, will recommend and come again.

Four of us that camp together decided to check out this campground after looking at the website. This was a 2 hour drive one way. We were in a car and had no intentions of getting a site. A woman was at the gate so we asked if we could look around. She said no because they were full. Granted it was July 4th so I could understand. We told her we had traveled 2 hours to get there and just wanted to look at the sites. Then she said if you pay $20.00 you could look around. When asked about the $20.00 she said it was $5.00 for each of us. That is what guests are charged. We explained again that we were not there to visit just to check out the sites. She didn't budge. But once more told us if we paid $20.00 she would let us in. She was rude and certainly not the person you want greeting your guests. I was close to paying the $20.00 but then thought why would I want to camp here with the rude employee and where they charge people to look at their campground.

Wonderful place to spend the day with the kids at the pool and also take them fishing in the creek that they stock every couple weeks

Seemed like a great friendly place until tonight. My in-laws are new to the site, they were so generous to put mine and my husbands name on the lease as well, in case we wanted to travel up here by ourself. We have our own keycards to get in, the whole nine yards! Tonight was my husbands birthday and we came up with a few friends (6). Instead of driving up to the pool we just decided to walk there with our small group. On our walk we were stopped by a security guard who accused us of sneaking in. I let him know my in-laws last names and my husband presented him with a key card. He continued to accuse us of sneaking in and eventually stopped harassing us because his walkie talkie wasn’t working. We made our way to the pool and noticed that the same security guard was at the office and pointing his finger our way. I walked over to retell our story and the lady working then tried accusing us of the same thing, until I got my mother in law on the phone. She shooed my phone away and then suddenly realized that she recognized my husband. She then became extremely apologetic up until we walked away, because honestly she knew that what her and her staff were trying to do was wrong. The same security guard began talking about us as we walked away, but didn’t realize that a friend of ours who was waiting to pay to get in could hear everything he was saying. He simply told the woman if she and her staff couldn’t be professional then he wanted his money back so he could leave. She then began cussing at him. Very rude, very unprofessional, and total lack of communication. Maybe invest in some sensitivity training and better walkie talkies next time. I definitely won’t be back after how me and my friends were treated.

This is our 1st time visiting this campground. Let me start with the positives. The amenities are amazing! The outdoor pool was huge, clean, and fun for our kids! The indoor heated pool was also a bonus. We enjoyed the mini golfing, playgrounds, and arcade. The store was very nice! There were SO many activities for adults and kids to enjoy including painting, rock animals, foam pit, tie dying, wagon rides, DJ, bands, etc. Now for the negatives. The biggest downfall and one that will likely prevent us from visiting again is the layout of the campground and how extremely tight the sites are. We have a 37ft travel trailer, which I mentioned when booking. She said the site we got would fit our trailer well. There are NO pull through sites and let me tell you there is no wiggle room. They have the weekend campsites in the back of the campground with tight roads to even get to that area. Security attempted to help us back to our site and get us parked. We arrived before all of the neighbors, which was the only way we were able to get in was by using the sites in front of us to have enough room to get backed into our site. We would have never got in if they were filled prior to us pulling in. To leave, we will be waiting for everyone around us to pull out first because there is no way we can get out without them moving. It took a few of the neighbors 30-45 minutes just to get pulled in their sites with security help because of how tight it is. We heard on the security radio several times of how campers were really struggling and one time how they were unable to get someone in their site. That is a MAJOR issue! The sites have tiny trees beside them, which do not provide any privacy or shade. They just make it more difficult to back in and get your awning out. A suggestion would be to consider putting pull through sites in the field where the car show was by the entrance so its easier for weekenders with larger trailers to get in and out and still enjoy your campground OR take the current sites and make them larger. When we go camping, we like to have some quiet and privacy at night sitting by the fire. Unfortunately, with the sites being so close there is none of that. You are sitting so close to your neighbors that you can hear every part of their conversations. Also, there was constant people and mainly kids walking through our site. There was a loud party at the pavillion across the way with loud music and a lot of drinking. Luckily, it ended by 11pm. Overall, our kids enjoyed the trip so it was worth visiting this time but unless sites are improved we won't visit this one again.
