Powered by GoogleWe had such a great time at Pine Tree! The ranger is super helpful and kind. There is plenty to do and a huge snapping turtle in the pond! He follows you all around! We had a great campfire with our Den and slept under the stars!
Nice sandy campsites, love the pine barrens. Good cabins, too. Do NOT forget your bug spray ... you are in the pine barrens, after all.
What a great camp! All the amenities, and beautiful pine barrens. Not that far from civilization in case you forgot something, but secluded so you can enjoy nature. Definitely recommended!
This is the place where I first got to be a camper. Years ago my cub scout troop (Pack #100) had summer (day) camp there, than the Cub-o-Ree the following school year (for a long weekend). I am a former Cub Scout now, but the memories I've made at this campground I cherish, keep up the good work with the scout troops in the future!!!!
We attended a Venturing event here and it was great to see the camp. It's rather hidden, with the entrance off a one-lane road. The cabins were nice and well-constructed, and the waterfront / small lake is well-designed for use by scouts. We'd definitely recommend attending events or camp here!
