Accessible older park

This is an older park that needs some upgrades, but it's not in disrepair. As far as we can tell, some work is being done to upgrade some of the facilities. The roads and sites are nicely paved and level. Good access to and from the I-95, which makes it great for overnights. Staff are friendly. Our only complaints are the weak wi-fi.

Newly improved

We've been to Pine Mountain before, and it's been a while since then. But we're pleasantly surprised by what we've seen upon our return. There are a lot of new sites and many of the facilities have been updated, especially the bathroom and showers. The sites are large and level and have nice views. Wi-fi was great, but there's no cable TV.

Great RV Park

The main draw of this RV park was the fact that it's right on the bank of the Guadalupe River and the resort is great, every inch of it clean and well-maintained. We liked it that our site was very roomy and level, with full hookups and cable TV working well. We didn't use the wi-fi because it's not free. There are lovely indoor and outdoor pools that are so inviting on hot summer days, especially after a day of sightseeing. Our stay was pleasant and we're planning to come back.

Almost perfect

The seasonal guests, who all know each other, are not so welcoming to newbies and outsiders. A few of them act as if they own the place. Otherwise, the staff are very accommodating and they've done a good job in keeping the place clean, neat and comfortable. In fact, they are pretty OC when it comes to the cleanliness of the place. They've got large and level sites with full hookups and wi-fi but no cable TV. Lots of trees, but they didn't interfere with our satellite signal. Lovely amenities, including a hiking trail, a hot tub, weekly coffee and doughnuts. Quite isolated, though, with the nearest Wal-Mart some 23 miles away. A truly lovely place if not for those snobby cliques.

Simply dreadful

We only stayed overnight despite all plans to stay longer. We just couldn't. The place is run down and requires a lot of TLC. There are weeds and trash everywhere. The roads are in need of repair. A number of permanent residents are present, and their sites speak loudly of lack of maintenance. It's just dreadful here.

Great Base Camp

If you're planning to tour around the Finger Lakes region, this is definitely a campground to consider. Very nice and well-maintained. Lots of activities to keep the kids happy. Friendly and accommodating staff. Unfortunately, they can be too accommodating that they tend to be very lenient with the rules here like quiet hours, adult-only swimming times, and the like. Trash bins need to be emptied more often.

An unexpected find

We didn't plan on staying at this park. It just so happened that the park we had intended to stay at was full and we needed to find a place to stay. We drove around a bit and found this place. I'm glad we did. It's one of the most well-run campgrounds we've been to. Everything is neat and clean, and the sites are large. They've got full hookup sites and the hookups work excellently. They don't have cable TV or wi-fi but we got a good reception using our satellite dish. The staff are friendly and helpful and so are the seasonals staying here. It's very quiet and peaceful. It would have been perfect if they have amenities like a swimming pool or a store. Still, it's an excellent place to stay and I highly recommend it.

Ideal During the Weekdays

Great campground! The staff at the office were really friendly and accommodating. Sites are okay, not too narrow. A bit uneven but nothing that a few leveling blocks can fix. Restrooms and showers were really clean. Electric and water hookups on the low side. Best to visit this place during the week because it can get quite busy during the weekends.

A challenge for bigger rigs

Just like most campgrounds in national parks, Blackwoods doesn't have any hookups. But that's not a problem, as there's a dumpstation nearby and paid showers just outside the entrance of the CG. There are also free firewood available, although the rangers often ask campers to take only what they need. It's a very quiet park, although some campers staying there at the same time as us keep their generators on all day, which was the only noise in the park, and the rangers don't really enforce quiet time. It's also a challenge to park a big rig here. The sites are tighter than those found in other CGs in other national parks, so if you've got a big rig, you have to dodge trees and low-lying branches and risk a few scratches before you can park on your site.

A nice, clean and quiet campground

Hemlock only has a few sites for short-term guests like us, but those sites are nice but tight to maneuver if you have a big rig. The owners and the permanent residents we met were all very friendly and treat you as if you're a true member of their community. The owners were especially helpful and gracious too. The site we got had full hookups and cable TV. There's wi-fi too. The place is very clean and well-maintained, although they only have a couple of washers and dryers for the entire campground.
