“First Family Camping Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

Stayed here Memorial Day weekend 05/25-05/27 2012.

Campsite:
We stayed at camp site 16, which was a no hookup tent site. It was a large site, big enough to fit our minivan, picnic table, and 15x16 tent. The site was nice and flat. Your privacy all depends on how you and the other campers orient the tent and supplies. Our site was on a sort of small cul-de-sac with a hill behind us. The trash bins, water/sink, bathrooms were all about a 30 second walk ... very convenient. It was about a 5 minute walk to get to the beach, which was also very convenient. The fire pit was great, with plenty of sand around it. The tree on the site had a large carpenter ant colony, but they didn't really bother us too much, we just kept the tent zipped up and they never got inside.

Campgrounds:
The office/store is packed with everything you'll need if you forgot something. Plenty of ice ($2/bag) and wood ($6/bundle). The rec hall had some videos games, a pool table, an air-hockey table and a bar&grille. There is also a nice icecream walk up window on your way back from the beach. The beach is nice, offering a raft for the older kids and shallow areas for the younger ones. Everything seemed well kept and clean. We walked down to the beach and playground early one morning and saw the staff literally raking the beach clean. It was 7.5 minutes per quarter for the showers ... that is way less than I pay at home with my old beater of a furnace. Also, the showers were HOT ... I had to turn mine way down because it was so hot.

Activities:
The pots and pans parade was fun for the kids. The dance was hilarious. Actually had a great DJ and good tunes. People ranged from toddlers to high schoolers dancing and having a blast. The campground is only 10 minutes from the Plymouth downtown area so you can see all the sites. We did breakfast at Cornerstone Cafe, Mayflower II, and Plymouth Plantation on Sunday.

Conclusion:
We really enjoyed it here. The quiet hours (10pm-7am) are a good because it keeps the noise down so the young ones can sleep. We got billed extra for kids (didn't realize it when we booked), but then they saw us in the store and because our kids were under 5, they gave us the refund which we put as a credit for wood/ice/supplies/etc. The staff were extremely friendly to us.

We did have to call it quits a day early because our daughter is only 7 months and the tent camping was a bit too adventurous for now. My 2.5 year old son absolutely loved it thought. We'll do it again, just when she gets a bit older.

Room Tip: Tent sites 16, 17 and 18 are at the end of a semi cul-de-sac and offer a large area with noone behin...

“Pinewood Lodge, camping extraordinaire”

Clean sites, fireplace in working order, not just a pile of tumbled down stones, clean bathrooms, prompt cleaning of said bathrooms daily, and often more than that! Great staff, courteous and kind! Fully stocked camp store, great swimming on beach with shade trees, boats for rent, pavilions for family style dinners with other campers if you like! Close to so many great attractions!! Reasonably priced!

Room Tip: There are Yurts and cabins, but we tent it!

“Like Camping at a Federal Facility”

Stayed here Oct. 18, 11. Travelling in our RV with two std. poodles. Charged us $10 extra per day for dogs and we were relegated to a "Pet" site. Nothing provided for the fee. Not even an endless supply of gold doggy bags. Could not leave our dark forest site to enjoy any of the site amenities as could not have our dogs, Animals got ticks here and we were not told this could be a problem. Note they also charge the "Pet fee" for children. Great family place, I don't think so. WiFi poor and an hour free for the site cost is a rip. Would only recommend site to adults who don't mind getting nothing for your fee and obey the rules.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

Visiting Pinewood Lodge campground has been a family tradition for many years. The campground itself is beautiful and it is very well maintained. I am always pleased to find clean restroom facilities. Rates (& any other fees) are clearly stated on their printed information and are comparable with other campgrounds in the area. In the few instances where there have been any problems, the park owners and staff were ready to help resolve the issue and do whatever they could to make our stay a great one. Even though we've stayed numerous times, the staff always makes sure to point out important information (such as quarters needed for shower & change machine available in game room, quiet hour policy, fires out policy, etc.) which is helpful. Overall just a fantastic place!

“Couldn't sleep!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011 via mobile

The first night we stayed in one of the cabins. There was a big problem with carpenter ants. A number of times I was woken up by something crawling on me. I went into the next room to be greeted by atleast 15 to 20 of the ants crawling on the walls and floor. I understand the cabin is located in the woods but to. Have that time of infestation is bad. $188 down the drain. My girlfriend and I kept the place clean and didn't leave food out so we know it was a previous problem before we arrived
