Pinecrest Resort

Awesome place for a vacation. Good fishing ares. Very peaceful with lots of nature to take in. Very clean cottages and fully equipped. I'll be returning every year. Good working rental boats at a great rate. Total package for a family at a great rate.

Stayed here on my way to Montreal. Quite campsite clean and well kept. Boat launch and slips are available. It's an easy drive to gananaque, which has several attractions.

We have been to this resort and campground many times and Carolyn and her family are always very accommodating and lovely to deal with. A great spot to bring your family for a lovely get away. Quaint cabins and lots of seasonal sites. Great docks and swimming area. Views alone are second to none.

Let me start by saying we were there for the hottest 2 weeks of the summer which made sleeping difficult with no air conditioning and 2 people in each double bed. We had to bring fans from home and run them constantly to keep cool. IMHO, we had the best possible cabin on the end of the path, right on the river with plenty of shade and our own dock. The main beach was only 2 cabins away but we hardly used it since we had access to the water on our lot. Lawns are routinely mowed and trimmed. Garbage and recycle is routinely picked up from a central drop-off station. The access road is gravel but they try to grade it to fill in the potholes. Water pressure is great with plenty of hot water. Bathroom has been recently renovated with a lovely corner shower and new floors. Furniture is older but solidly built and in decent shape. We struggled with the dressers because the high humidity had swelled the wood. Floors are solid and recently resurfaced but the subfloors are at various angles because every room was added on to the main building. Curtains are only sheers which don’t make the room dark and they block the breeze somewhat. Pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses are all provided but bedding, towels, washcloths, soap, paper towel and facial tissue are not. Reserve a day or 2 after your vacation to launder everything you brought. Clothesline to hang wet clothing was a small string that was a little too high to be useful. I used a heavier rope and purchased clothes pins in town nearby. Insects are normal in Ontario but a nuisance if you come from the city. Hornets, ear wigs, dock spiders and mosquitoes are common. The river water is generally clear if you want to skin dive but the bottom is mostly weeds or silt. Lots of fishing and boating on the weekends but the traffic slows down a lot on weekdays. Fire pit ring was in place with wood available to purchase but we had to clean out the ring that was about 2 thirds full. No BBQ was available. The deck with picnic table was great near the shore and the dock is solid and new. Unfortunately, the debris from the old dock remained along the shore. I’m sure it will decay eventually but it poses a hazard in the meantime. Overall, a lovely change of pace from city living. If you are familiar with cottage living, none of this should be a surprise. If you are expecting a 5-star hotel with room service, you can look elsewhere.
