We came out here to visit our friend at Pine Flat and near the Island Park Campground. Central Valley come picnic for the day or want to get out of the city for a foothill stroll and views of the lake. If you are staying for the day, bring a canopy, a chair and enjoy lake life. Cheers!

Me and my boyfriend planned a last-minute trip absolutely beautiful just as a pictures. Great campsite. This was our first time here and I feel like we got a pretty good campsite. This was the only one that was surrounded by trees and shade and you get a lakefront in my opinion this is the one section that’s a little further on the side with more privacy, compared to the others that I saw that’s more on open ground . I absolutely loved it here. Definitely will be coming again soon. There is operating bathrooms with warm water FYI.

The Park was nice. I had a great time. The only thing that bothered me was because it was a holiday weekend the spot had to be reserved for three days. So I had to wait until Saturday to reserve it for only Saturday and Sunday.

The campground itself was better than I ever imagined it would be. Extremely well kept grounds and nice camp sites.
My only complaints are with the management, and it is the entirety of the organization. My stay was from Thirsday night through Sunday morning. Their policies made me pay for Sunday night also even though I wasnt going to be there. If you want to 1 weekend night you have to pay for all 3 nights. The pictures on the website are rather lackluster as well. I really dont need a picture of the sign post with the campsite number on it. I'm more interested in seeing the actual site we're I am parking my trailer and the area surrounding it. The actual spots for you RV are just big enough to park in and nothing more. There was very large boulders placed on both sides which made navigating to the fire pit/picnic table area difficult for anyone with the slightest mobility impairment. Overall it is nice, and would stay there again but theres definitely room for improvement.

I love going there in the winter. Winter keeps the people away. I like the solitude. Summer is too hot. I really like the group sites.

Pine Flat Lake is beautiful this time of the year with green grass, cool temps, and no crowds. Plus, there are two separate camp volunteers stationed at Island Park campground, which helps to prevent non-campers and those without reserved campsites from taking over the campground. I had an enjoyable experience.
