Pinery Campground + Day Use Area

Pinery P103 has become one of my favorite campsites. It's peaceful and serene. It's not quiet... well, it is worldly quiet, but not nature quiet. Prepare to be serenaded all night by birds, owls, frogs, crickets, etc. We have seen deer up close, racoon, geese, ducks, osprey, pelicans, and chipmunks. The restroom was clean and odor free (it's the beginning of the season so the odor may change). You have a nice charcoal barbecue stand, or opt for the in ground campfire pit. (it has a grate for cooking). The picnic tables were nice and clean and the shade canopy over the top is wonderful respite from the summer sun. Three water sources for washing were close by. Last year the lake was dried up from the drought. This year there was beautiful clear sparkling water and the fish were biting. At night the star gazing is amazing! Last year this spot had only dirt for pitching our tents. This year it was nice, thick new grass. The bushes had been trimmed. I can't praise it enough. For me it's my zen spot.
