Pine Haven Campground

We have had our camper here for 5 years now. Clientele has changed very much so. Not sure if they lowered the prices here at this resort or what but the people here have no consideration. People here are rude, have horrible parenting skills & are obnoxiously loud. Mind you we have 2 large pools, a baby pool and a man made lake. It’s very normal for a family of 3 to come to the pool & use 2 long chairs AND a entire table that seat 4 adults. And they only use it to hang their towels? Elderly people walk in and no one offers their EMPTY CHAIRS that NO ONE IS SITTING IN? I’m in the middle of trying to sell my property here & now I’m embarrassed to even try to convince anyone to stay here. I love this place & what it offers but the people here… excuse my language, are assholes. This resort has no control of their property.

For a weekender, it is a nice place. They have 2 adult pools and a kiddie pool. They have a swimming lake and a fishing lake. There is also many arts and crafts for kids, adult and both. Most of the staff is nice. If you want to become a seasonal renter, stay away. No matter where you go, you can have problems with other campers but Terry (the manager) doesn’t take care of problems. There is a lot of stealing that goes on and he doesn’t care. When someone stole my golf cart and used it to steal someones golf cart batteries, he said he wasn’t the police and that I should call them. I told him I don’t come down to deal with drug addicts and all the crap that was going on. His comment was that he doesn’t come there to deal with them either. When that same person vandalized my site, he didn’t care. When that same person threatened my neighbor, he called the police. Terry didn’t care, the problem person was allowed to stay. When he vandalized another neighbors site, Terry still didn’t care. It took the problem person to go in front of the store drunk, screaming and cursing and attacking a 70 year old before Terry kicked him out of the campground. We wound up selling our site because Terry is a joke of a manager. If there is a noise complaint, he will take care of it but if something gets stolen or vandalized or someone gets threatened, he doesn’t care. When you sign the annual contract to stay, it says you can be kicked out without a refund for many reasons. One of the reasons is harassing other campers. There is no security at night, the state police are in there an average of twice a week. If there is a problem with noise, campers driving golf carts recklessly if kids driving golf carts (their rules state you have to have a license to drive them in the campground), you are expected to police the campground yourself. I was there when a neighbor complained to him about kids driving golf carts, Terry told him to get the site number from the cart (many of them don’t have numbers on the cart or are the carts they rent). He also said that if you expect him to come in the campground after 7PM, that would not happen. He does live on site. If you are looking for a seasonal site, stay away from this place.

I’ve been here a couple of times and it keeps getting better.
That cabins are well maintained and the amenities are as expected. Locally, there are more than a few towns that have local flavor and style.
They have a few pools, a lake with beach, arcade, and some sports courts. If you want to find a place to relax or as a jumping point for nearby places like Wildwood, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Sea Isle City, Ocean City, or even Atlantic City. This is the spot!

I have been coming here since I was a child! Very good distance from Sea Isle City. Nice pools, but impossible to swim on the weekends due to the amount of kids. Large cedar water lake. Lots of events for kids on the weekends. Overall a ton of fun, just come during the week!
