Having never been to Piney Bay, we didn't know which spot would be best for our truck camper. It's not easy to choose just from an online map, but we scored! Site D3! Perfect.

The park itself was very shaded and clean, and a beautiful area. The length of the sites were a little exaggerated on the website. Luckily there was no one in the next door spot because we had to switch. Trying to make the switch on the website was impossible though, so we just moved over.
