We were blessed on being able to secure campgrounds in all 3 Pine Campgrounds in May, peak waterfall season. North Pines came in the middle for us. It had great views!

This campground is dilapidated. The bathrooms are horrific, and the campground itself has very few sites that have any usable equipment. This campground needs a complete remodel at $36 a night is a complete rip off.

The campground was very quiet and clean. There are miles of flat paved trails to bike or walk if you have a dog or don’t want to do one of the more more vigorous hikes in the park.

Bathrooms in campground are a joke, they need full replacement and are not fully ADA compliant.

The staff was wonderful; super helpful. The only reason I didn’t give this campsite 5 stars is because the visitors were very loud at all times of the night.

The check-in was great. A nice couple greeted us so warmly and told us about their holiday in Germany. The place was unfortunately very small, but the view of the river beautiful. The toilets were clean. We are a little disturbed by the operation of the generators.

Great time. Stay in campsite 311 one night then moved over to 318 my second night. Woke up to find other campsites tents right next to mine with 5 am screaming baby. Beware this part on the campground sites are close to together with not much tent space. Better to stay in a camper in these sites.
