The campground is beautiful and inviting! However, a heatwave struck during our stay with temps of 106 and a heat index of 115! Otherwise the campground is clean and very relaxing.

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.

Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in August, when about 8% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 10 years of reservations.
