Pine Grove Resort

My wife’s family has been going there for generations (Hollister) and what I do know is that Joe and Noah have worked there asses off trying to rebuild years of neglect. I am truly saddened by the fire in Cobb and I hope the place made it if it did I expect all hands on deck next year to show some love. We all know they are new owners but the general strong arm tactics the locals have used is despicable I hope it’s still there to enjoy

This Creekside camping and cabins resort with sparkling huge swimming pools has new owners (3 years) who have completely cleaned it up and renewed the pools and some of the cabins. All of the campsites are clean and shady. This is a wonderful place and is not permanently closed like Google Maps says. That needs correcting. All old google reviews and pictures on google are out of date and misleading and should be removed. Wonderful food stand at the pools. Day use, or weekly and seasonal passes are available for very reasonable rates. All restroom buildings, commercial washers and driers and septic systems are brand new. Give the NEW Pine Grove Resort a try! You’ll be amazed at the transformation and you will love your stay. Long or short, Owners Joe and Noah will make your visit memorably relaxed and enjoyable.

Pine Grove has new owners and they are making a go at fixing this place up after the terrible reign of the past owner. I am giving it only 4 stars because it is a work in progress. It does not reflect poor quality or a bad atmosphere at the resort.
Pool was clean and the snack bar has great, healthy treats. The prices aren’t cheap, but it is made fresh from good ingredients and comes with a smile. Owners even work the snack bar. I do think they should consider serving beer and wine, but I understand why they are avoiding that since this place got a little rowdy in recent years with beer pong and stuff right where families were trying to relax.
Cabin prices are a bit high, though not unreasonable for the improvements they have put in. Trust me when I say the previous showers were beyond foul! I do think they should keep a variety of cabins at different price levels. Some of us can’t get too swanky on our vacations. My parents stayed in the luxury cabin and it was very cute and nice. The shower is outside, clawfoot tub inside. Kinda fun if you are ok showering with a little less privacy than at home.
I wish I had been able to go up again this season. The new owners are putting in a genuine effort to provide a fun, safe place for familes. Pine Grove will never be the way it was and that is sad in some ways. At least it is getting new life and the previous owners have high-​tailed it out of there. The dark ages have ended! Best of luck to the new owners.

What a Great Spot! Came back to Pine Grove last year after The former owner ran it into the ground. The cabins are being redone and the pools and grill were fabulous! Bingo Bob was back last summer for a Saturday nite bingo game and there was no riff-​raff from the local yocals as the new owners have drawn a line in the sand keeping it pleasant for visitors and families. Prices have gone up, but well worth the value for the experience of the summers past! Well done by new ownership, can’t wait to come back.

This place has always been a favorite of mine. Growing up in the late 80s, 90s, and early 00s, Bingo Bob ran a great place. Sure, it became slightly run down, but that’s not what Pine Grove is about. It’s not about the ammenities. It’s about the family and the feel of the place. When Christopher purchased it in the mid 2000s, Pine Grove took a dive. There was no caring for the place, and the atmosphere he tried to create didn’t jibe with what Pine Grove had always stood for. Now there are new owners again, and while they’re not perfect, they’re caring for Pine Grove in a way that is trying to meld old and new. Some people aren’t happy with the changes (i.e. cost), but they’re refurbishing and trying to bring life back into a place that had lost its luster for awhile there. Fact is, they are new owners, and they can run it how they like.
The pool is sparkling, the food is good, and they’re fixing up the cabins (although they’re expensive!!). Bingo is only on the holiday weekends now.

My sentiments reflect all of the other previous reviewers. This place was the setting of many great childhood summer memories. Waking up late, hitting the pool, scouring the creek for crawdads, eating greasy junk food by the pool, and bingo at night. Also, riding bikes to the local town for the convenience store or to rent a movie. We also experienced underage drinking for the first time really. It’s too bad that it’s so expensive to stay in the cabins.
Oh yeah, they had video games in the bingo hall and super fun game night once a week where you played Chinese bat ball. Super fun. I’ll never forget that. And playing Limbo, musical chairs, etc.

We didn’t stay at this place, but drove in to check it out. Don’t trust the pictures… this place looks like it’s right out of the movie «Deliverance,»

Christopher Layton has completely destroyed Pine Grove Resort in the 5 short years he has been owner. For decades, generations of families have vacationed in Pine Grove Resort. Christopher raised prices dramtically and got rid of the «white trash» (as he called them). The «white trash» he was referring to were the families who made Pine Grove what it was. Approximately 95% of the trailer owners have fled, never to vacation there again.
Also, the Rec Hall isn’t even opened for Bingo and square dancing anymore. What used to be an amazing and cheap family vacation has become a disgusting tax write-​off for Chrisopher Layton. Shame on him and his wife. They ruined a paradise-​on-​Earth.

We used to have family gatherings here before they raised the prices. My step-​mom and her family has been going here ever since she was a little kid. Kristine C, you may know her. I have so many good memories of this place.
They have a Creek pool and a regular pool. The creek pool they would fill it with creek water and it was ALWAYS freezing! The regular pool was fun, it had a diving board, and there used to be a old man that would teach anyone how to dive, or do flips off the diving board. He was the one who taught me how to do a back dive. Also if you picked up trash the people that worked there would give you wooden nickels that if you saved so many you got a free ice cream.
The cabins were awesome! They had beds in them, and you would bring your own sheets/​blankets/​sleeping bags, but my step-​mom said that when they were kids they would always sleep on the balcony (and every cabin has a bed on the balcony).
In the hall they had bingo, and it was just soo much fun!
But one year they switched owners, and it wasn’t the same anymore. They made it more of a day resort instead of old fashion camping cabins. I haven’t been back for like 6 or 7 years, but I sure do miss it.
