We are staying two weeks and are happy with everything here. The staff has been nice and very helpful. We will definitely come back. The place is quiet and very secure.

We love this RV park. It's just over the dunes from the ocean, with a nice boardwalk to get there easily. The sites are spacious and clean, beautifully laid out. The roads are well paved. The restrooms are spotless. The laundry room is a bit too small for the size of the park, but ok. There is are nice pools... More

Previous to this April 2012 trip, the last time we visited Pioneer was 2003. I would have expected some wear-and-tear after a 9-year absence, but I didn't see any! The staff works non-stop to keep the place looking like new, but they still manage time for a friendly wave as the customers walk/bike/drive by. Two pools and a hot tub,... More

Upon arrival, we were actually screamed at by the RV Host's parking guide. We did not know we had to be escorted to our planned site for the next five months. If there was signage, we didn't see it. With his (John Wayne) attitude, we decided to camp for the summer at the RV park 2 miles down the beach.... More

The staff is quite unfriendly. In fact, they are downright rude. The restrooms are not cared for as they have been in the past. The park tends to smell like a septic tank. Camp sites are very close to one another, even in the "Premium Pull-Through" sites. I'm sorry to say that this park is not what it used to... More

My family [ myself, husband and 10 and 9 yo ] spent the second weekend of spring break herer and we were pleasantly surprised. My only suggestion is that if you want close access to the small boardwalk that leads to the beach you reserve a premium site, the place is very big and we were able to just walk... More

We have stayed there a few times and its generally clean and well taken care of. It could use some updating of fixtures and technology but for an RV resort its one of the 2 best in Port A by far. For an RV park it isn't cheap though. Great access to the beach. Pool is a bit dated and... More

Staff was very nice and helpful at check in. Staff on a golf cart showed us to our site and assisted husband in backing in our 38ft RV. There were five families in our group and the RV park allowed us to be together which made more enjoyable for all. Children didn't have to cross the road. We were close... More

We recently rented one of their cabins and my son and his family stayed in an RV spot. We arrived around 7pm and because the office was closed, we picked up the key as pre-arranged. We were met by an army of ants in the kitchen and had to go out to buy bug spray. The next day when we... More
