When we arrived, it was a gloomy evening at Big Pines, with POURING rain.
But as we pulled into the Park, Jared the Manager, met us. We didn't even have us get out of the truck! Immediately, we felt like Kinfolk returning home, after a long absence!
Being September of the 2019 camping season, most sites were open. With the pouring rain, Jared encouraged us to drive through the grounds, look the sites over, and if we saw an easier site to maneuver into, we were welcome. Then he led us on foot, through the huge pines of the rain soaked grounds, making sure we got properly parked. We wouldn't have been able to manage alone, in such rain.
Jared's kind and thoughtful hospitality, MADE our first night! He waited once we parked, making sure we didn't have any questions before sloshing off, (soaked to the bone), he never lost his smile, as he looked back, and waved.
The grounds are beautiful, especially in Fall! The private Bath Houses are awesome and spacious.
Even with pouring rain, many sites have been upgraded to improve parking. It's a scenic park, in a convenient location. We were greeted by friendly campers, AND it was QUIET. We watched deer wondering through, several evenings. The laundry & game Room are also nice.
We're looking forward to the 2020 Camping Season at Big Pines!
Thank you for the genuine hospitality!
