Very nice campground. May be too crowded in the summer but it was quiet with very few campers in September. Many seasonals that were all very well kept. Everything was very clean. Workers were helpful and polite. There were also many very nice tent sites. We will return again off-season. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This year we tried a few different campgrounds. The advertisement for this "resort" looked great. We arrived for a 3 night weekend and from moment one we were disappointed. The pine trees are so overgrown that hardly any sunlight gets through. The sites are small with no privacy between sites. The bathroom by the camp store was clean, but the one in our area was filthy. The same paper that was on the floor when we arrived was still there when we left. My daughter joined in on some activities, however she had to pay extra for this. I can see that this could be a great place, but they need to give it a "freshen-up". We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We have been here multiple times. This summer we spent the week of july 4th and enjoyed the beach view fireworks display. My only complaint is it is a very busy park. If you dont get to the pool by 11:15 AM there are no chairs available. Most sites are crowded and small. We loved the dog park (fenced area for dogs to play off the leash.) We will go back for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
They clam its a resort. I'm still can't figure out why. If was 8 or younger it might be. The pool has all kinds of water features for small children which is one of the nice things about the campground. It opens at 11 am and closes at 7 pm. Get their early if you want to sit in the sun. They have a snack bar next to the pool just don't expect to get anything from it its never open. They also have a beautiful Lodge, again don't expect to go their unless you want to play bingo once a week or do some adult craft once a week because it to is never open. They have boat rentals which are charged by the hour and which I found to be quite pricey. The lake is a good size and the fishing was good. Activities were far and few between. Camper and my truck were covered with pine pitch after one week. While dumping my tanks I was 1/2 way thru the black tank when it started perk up thru the ground. Which made for a very unpleasant departure. Would I ever go back their, Nope. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We loved this campground. We didn't find it too crowded. We had great sites that were close to everything. The pool can get a little crowded...but you can go to the lake if that's the case. The bathrooms could use some updating but were clean when we were there. They had some good activities for the kids and we were never bothered by neighbors or staff. Some places have fire restrictions, but no one ever came over to tell us to put our fire out, which was nice. You can even have a fire in the morning, which we are noticing that's not the case for a lot of campgrounds. There were about 8 of us that camped, and we all really loved the place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Yes this place is nice. We camped here before the pool was built. It was dug out but the next season it would be ready. The sites were big and level, dirt bottom. Roads were wide, lake was beautiful, walking path very nice. I didn't like that you had to pay for the amenities. Mini Golf and now the pool. The store closed very early. and the hours were limited on the mini golf. I would like to go back but they don't take weekend reservations until May and when you call in May they're all booked up. We would like to go back but we can't get in. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I was really looking forward to camping here. It looked nice on the website. It is pretty, but very boring. It rained and so they just cancelled all the activities. We paid 7.50 for each kid and they had nothing free for the kids to participate in. They told me the arcade was open. However, I really didn't feel like spending anymore money to keep my kids entertained. They also said there was arts and crafts. Of course everything cost around $5 (times this by four and it adds up). My kids don't need entertaining but it was raining and we were staying in a tiny pop-up, with four kids. Pool was closed at 7 on Friday night, we arrived at 7:30 and it was still very hot. My kids swam in the lake which was nice. THe pool was closed most of Saturday because of the rain. When it was open, this mean lady follows you around yelling. The hot tub is not hot and don't dare have your kids put a body part in-you will get the lecture of a life time and maybe even get kicked out. Overall, this was a very disappointing camping experience and we left a day early. Way too expensive and you get nothing for your money. When you complain, you get an arrogant woman in the office who make you feel as if you around 12. Camp somewhere cheaper. It is not worth the money. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Pine Acres was one of the most enjoyable camping trips we have had in awhile. We camped at the edge of the their lake, which was very nice. Our kids fished throughout the week and were very successful. The pool complex was nice, however, I would of like to see the hours extended on both ends. 10am-6pm is just not a good enough time frame considering what you pay and the how fast the time goes by. Because we went during the week in June, there were no scheduled activities. I'm sure that this picks up in the summer season. But, once again for what you are paying there should be a little something scheduled for the kids. There were enough kids to schedule maybe a kiddie bingo or kickball, etc. Aside from that, nice place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a fantastic campground. We visited it last year and spent Halloween weekend there. There was lots to do for the kid, Trick or Treating was a lot of fun, they had a costume party for the kids and also a scarecrow building contest for the campsites. Highly recommended We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice pool area, like a small water park for the kiddies. Good activities for kids. Nice and clean, well managed facility. Sites on the small side though. Nice place for a weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Camped here in 29' Travel Trailer. Showers and bathrooms were very clean in my area since most other campers used their own facilities in the trailer. Great place to camp with children. The maximum depth of the pool was 3'6", and the small water park was a hit with my toddler. The shallow end of the pool starts at 1' deep. Nice mini golf area that never seemed to be busy, even on Memorial Day Weekend. Mini golf was free for my three year old. We also rented a square stern canoe ($10/hr) that was very stable for the little guy. The bait shop rented toddler sized fishing poles ($5/2 hrs) and sold crawlers which were used to take advantage of the fishing areas from shore. We stayed at site 123 (with W/S/E) which was on the main road, but very large and right across from the pool, arcade, mini golf, volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts, horseshoe pits and adult lounge. I had no problem backing in my 29' trailer due to the fact that there was no site across from it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice place to start the camping season. But branches along roads need to be trimmed and sites needed to be raked. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The swimming pool is currently being built. We stayed at campsite #86. Do not camp here if
you want privacy. We could see everything our neighbors were doing and vice versa. Visited the restrooms near the store and very clean. The restrooms near our site were absolutely filthy when visited at 7am two mornings in a row. We rented a paddleboat ($15 per hour) and played mini golf for a nominal fee. Lots of shade, but the trees are tall and offer no privacy. Majority of campers were camping in RVs. We were in a tent. Swimming area was small, but nice and and clean water. No lifeguard on duty. Many activities. I am used to a more private campground setting, but my kids had fun. Went with another family and spent time with them at their site which was waterfront. The waterfront sites are nice, but other people have access to the shore in front of your site. Again, not very private. We camped here in a Tent.

We stayed at Pine Acres Resort in Oakham, MA this past weekend. Our experience there was
so-so. When I initially made the reservations, they asked me what I was camping in- and what length. First off, Although I love having plenty of trees at the campground, I thought that they didn't do a very good job clearing the road because I had more than a few tight turns to make with my 31' TT and extended cab truck. When I was shown my site, I made a few attempts to back into it. I ended up having to turn the whole setup around and approach from the opposite side. It was a challenging parking experience for me- and I consider myself to be pretty good at it normally. Other than the problem getting into the site- I'd say we enjoyed camping there. They have the usual ammenities. As for activities for children, I'd say they were kind of sparse- but this is still not the official camping season so it's excuseable to me. They do have a nice pond for swimming, fishing and boating. We rented a paddleboat and went out for awhile to explore the pond. Although they do not have a pool, I saw that they are in the midst of constructing one- with an accompanying jacuzzi. All-in-all I'd rate it a 2-1/2 out of 5 and, if I don't find anything better near Old Sturbridge Village I wouldn't mind staying there again. Like I said, there are PLENTY of trees there so there is plenty of shade. The trees are not necesarily between the sites, however so privacy is at a minimum. There are some trees between the sites (all pines- hence the name :-) ), but they are so tall that they don't offer privacy. FWIW we stayed at site 121 with W/S/E & Cable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is one of the cleanest I have ever been to. The people were great and there was lots to do for adults as well as for kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spotlessly clean. Restrooms cleaned 3 times daily. Great family activities. Very modern facilities and friendly staff. Superclean rentals at great rates. Tenters.... make sure your site is near a restroom with showers. We tent camped here and although we had restrooms, the showers were quite a way off. We plan to go back next season. We camped here in a Tent.

Twenty minutes from Sturbridge. Cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen. Good family campground with plenty of activities for adults and children. Most sites are wooded and spacious, with some overlooking the lake. Campground has lodge with entertainment,tennis courts, basketball court, game room. Extremely clean and friendly staff. We camped here in a camper.
