This was my first time to Pine Flats camping area and locating the group site was a bit confusing. The site was well maintained and spacious. However the additional group site neighbors were not the most considerate. Overall it was relaxing.

This campground needs a lot of work. All sights are not level... not just a little but by a great deal ..... unlevel. I know it is old, but for goodness sakes improvements are greatly needed. Bathrooms/showers were very verty dirty. There were weird weasels or some sort of hybrid squirrels by the hundreds that would mark all their ground dens by pee. I was so worried we would bring one home. The pictures are nothing on what the park is. The road in is very windy and when you finally arrive there is a couple of steep switch backs to the camp sights. Only very comfident people should attempt this. Only 30 amp too. Never again will I stay here. I was counting the hours to leave.

HARD TO FIND with directions...It's out there...small campground, quiet. Bathrooms were the downfall.

Pros: Lake is walking distance and you get a really good spot in front of the lake if you go early.
Great if you have kids where they can bike around because of the flat road and you can still see the kids from afar.
Very great spot if you have boat or water activities. If you can't swim, don't. It's very deep.
Cons: Bathroom is dirty. No shower in the overflow area.
No signal. You will have to go back to the main road and drive on the upper part to have signal.
If you go on holidays or season with many campers - it got full the weekend we were there cos of holiday and many neighbor campers were loud.
Because you're literally close to your neighbor camper, expect that it wont be as quiet as you want it to be. Many campers were inconsiderate and super loud and the noise bounces back within the overflow area because of the walls around.
The campsites are literally right next to each with a thin line separating each spot.
Lake water near the shore is muddy. Not really a great spot to swim for kids.
Advice: Do not book E1 overflow. There's a very big rock on the spot.
Do not book spot near the bathroom. You'll smell it.
Bring mullet or hammer, the ground is hard.
Windy. Prepare accordingly.
Do not forget sunscreen in the summer. You'll get roasted in the overflow.

The area was beautiful, remote, and the lake was refreshing but site 10 was very unlevel our front tires were lifted 6 inches and yet the rv was still not level enough to keep the refrigerator running. It was not safe to bring the front tires higher, plus we did not have any more boards to level

Park Island Campground had a resort vibe. I enjoyed my stay and felt very safe. The rangers did a great job patrolling, were helpful, and friendly. Gates are locked at night on the weekends, but campers can exit in an emergency. Pine Flat Lake is beautiful with many visitors enjoying water sports. I plan to visit again.
