Family Memories at Pine cradle lake

Year after year Pine Cradle continues to be our favorite campground. I love watching our children grow up here surrounded by friends they look forward to seeing every year! The staff is fantastic and the facilities are immaculate. Never a disappointing trip!

It was our 3rd time here in June. Beautiful family park with so many amenities, something for everyone, with a heated swimming pool! Beautiful surroundings and nature. Many different camp sites to choose from. We usually use our tent, but there are cabins, and RV sites as well. Playgrounds for the kiddos, pet friendly, watercraft to rent or bring your own. Walking and bicycle paths to share with the rented golf carts to get around. Just an all round pleasurable campground to visit or live year round. We highly recommend this Beautiful camping ground park.

Had a lot of fun camping here with the family! We rented a cabin in the woods and rented a golf cart. The kids enjoyed the splash pad and exploring. Caught a few small fish in the pond. Enjoyed relaxing at the campfire and making memories.

We just stayed here for the first time. The whole campground is very clean and well maintained. All staff members we encountered were nice and helpful. The other campers were all very friendly. We stayed in a deluxe cabin. It was beautiful and the sites are the biggest we’ve seen. The lake was gorgeous! The kids had a great time with the paddle boards and kayaks. The game room and playgrounds kept them occupied. The pool and splash park were great. The water was clean and warm. We will definitely go back and I would recommend this place to anyone.

Went for the weekend and had a great time! The campground is beautiful and well cared for, the staff are wonderful and friendly. I love the docks for boating and fishing and the multiple playgrounds make it a great place for kids. The pool was warm, clean and the splash pad is also right there and so much fun! I'm not sure where the Gaga ball game originated but I love how it brings the campground kids together to play like the older days. We will be visiting again!

What a fantastic campground!! Very clean, well maintained... public bathrooms cleaned often... heated pool, clean saltwater... Wi-Fi is upgraded this passed week. Staff very knowledgeable, polite, always has a smile, unlike other campgrounds we’ve been to. We’ve been there for a wedding also!! Cabins are so new and clean. They have a well stocked store and some shirts for sale. We are going back in August for 11 nights!! Bringing our kayaks, they have them there to rent also, along with golf carts. It's close to home so friends can visit and enjoy our time with us for a day!! Great fishing I hear, catch and release. Want a family vacation? Think Pine Cradle Lake!!
