Lake Pines Campground and RV Park

If I could give these guys 1/2 a star, I'd go with that. Their applaingly rude behavior truly deserves no stars. Though they advertise as a place that offers month to month business, my husband and I were offering them a guaranteed month to month business for a good bit of time while working in the area, however long they would work with us on, bouncing to another place if we exceeded their desired amount of time, and both people we spoke with - a woman one day and a man named Justin another, were very rude and "uppity/snooty". We have a 2023 Primetime Sanibel Widebody 5th wheel, 43 feet in length, very nice condition, and are two professional people (my husband an Operations Manager for a billboard company and I a Bid/Dept Manager for a Food Distributor, with a combined income of over $175k per year) and their response was "we wouldn't be a good fit" after we spoke with them guaranteeing we would abide by their strict rules. When we mentioned we may once in a blue moon babysit our grandkids while there, before I even finished my sentence, we were given a very terse response which was a strong indicator they do not want kids there. Obviously not family friendly. They mentioned not wanting "trashy trailers" and "trailer trash" type people in their campground - of which we aren't, but wow, the judgement - and that they currently have some campers they are "trying to be rid of", so camp with ease or expect to be thrown out. They want only new campers there, and royalty. I guess if you take a stab at them you'll have to see if you meet their high standards or contrarily meet their definition of "trailer trash". Beware, if your camper, though well maintianed yet only a 2021 model, you're trailer trash. Again, very picky, very high standards, strict rules, unbending, uppity, and just rude with a "holier than though" attitude. Apparently not very interested in keeping their business running either. We drove through the park on 4/20/26 and over half their campsites were empty. I wonder why. Yet, they turn down guaranteed month to month business for a time we were willing to allow them to designate. We will gladly take our business elsewhere to a much friendlier staff at a nicer, more secure campground nearby we have recently learned of - where we won't have to listen to trains pass behind us all day, and can watch kids be kids and play. Sad thing is, we've given them our business before while in Columbus, but never will again, and will tell all we know of a large group of campers we are affiliated with of their rude, snooty ways. Traveling through the area? I'd recommend staying elsewhere. Corps of Engineer parks on nearby West Point Lake (Amity, Shaefer Hard, Holiday, and WhiteTail Ridge), a campground on nearby Lake Harding (Blanton Creek), two near Fort Benning (one GA side - Camp David, the other AL side), one in Fort Benning (Uchee Creek), a KOA in nearby Americus, Ga and Auburn RV Resort in nearby Auburn, AL to name just a few. That is, unless you like to hobknob with the snooty folk.

People that work the office at this park are very friendly and easy to work with. Phone reservations were done efficiently and with no rush to get all the information. Upon arrival, they had our package complete and ready to go. Took maybe 2 minutes in the office to get everything completed. Our site was a 80’ pull through. They need to level the site. Long coaches headed down hill in the front do not level well. It also leans to the left. May not be a big deal for 5th wheels, but Class A’s are not fond of unlevel sites. This is the first time at this RV park. The site we have needs the trees trimmed. I can see exiting the site tomorrow will require some skill to prevent scraping the side of the coach with the bush/tree at the end of the site. The price is good and the condition of the park makes this a good rv park.

We were full hook up for 2 nights. Reservations were made over the phone which is the only way they do reservations. The staff was friendly and helpful. and our campsite info was clearly made available as we arrived when the office was closed.
RV sites are mostly pull through. Water electric and sewer hook up we're closely placed and easy to connect to. The only issue we had with the site were 2 overgrown bushes poorly placed at the end of the pull through that we had to navigate our TT around. Most sites did not have bushes placed like ours did.
The WiFi is only available in hot spots. I was able to connect to the service at our TT but could not load anything

Did not use
showers or laundry.
The pool as it was closed due to being out of season

Beautiful spot. Very accommodating and easy to register. Only stayed one night but could have stayed several. Would stay again!

Columbus is a neat city to visit, but this park was NOT. Laundry machines didn't work well,and air conditioning in laundry didn't work so it was very hot. Pool was disgusting although they said it wasn't open yet. Showers were not clean. Although they take Passport America, they said that they would not take ours since they were nearly full.
