The ranger (temp host) personally greeted us on our first night. Very nice and assuring. We were close enough to the water we could just pop the kayaks in and paddle to the swim beach. The area is very clean and even in June the bugs were not bad. No bites and no need for the spray. A few candles done the trick. Over all a 100% satisfaction.

Continually through the breaker, grass was knee high, fire pit was overflowing with ashes. Pavilion was nasty, it took several attempts to get it cleaned! Host was not concerned with any of these problems. His name was Justin.

Campsite was not clean—dirt leaves etc. I have been coming here for over 40 years and this is the worst I have ever seen it. The fire pit looked like it had never been cleaned out. I do not know if they have personnel to do this upkeep anymore never seen anyone also no gatekeeper office has been open and I have camped there 3 times since March. Just a shame to see this park go down.

Terrible experience! Normally we love going to Piney Bay, but this trip was a total disaster! The grass was knee high, so high we were afraid to let our grandkids get off the pavement ! The fire pit was running over full . We ask for some one to clean it out when we got there. It was never cleaned out. Our Electricity keep throwing the breaker. We could not run one air conditioner and use our coffee maker at the same time, we had to switch the hot water heater to LP because of the breaker throwing. Not to mention trying to use the microwave when AC was running! We had to make a decision either Air Conditioner or an appliance! After we had been there for 5 days the Park Rangers cam down and promised they would have it fixed the next day. No one showed up the next day to fix it! We also had the Pavilion reserved for our annual family reunion. I went check out the pavilion the day before our reunion and it was a mess! I got ahold to the host and he said he would get the cleanup crew over there immediately and have it cleaned. We got there the next day for our reunion and it was still a mess. It had not been touched. So back to the host, who was still asleep at 10am on Memorial Day weekend. His name was Justin and he was pretty much useless. We found out he hadn’t reported the breaker problem to maintenance, the fire pit to cleanup crew or the pavilion to cleanup crew. All in all it was a terrible trip!

The park is close to home and we enjoy going there for a little break. The park really needs some updating. All sites are 30 amp and some don’t have water on site. There was some really overgrown areas that should also be cleaned up.
