Management is terrible, overbearing, bossy, and unwilling to adjust or allow for elderly campers. After 20+ years, my mother was told she wasn't allowed to camp there because she has ALZHEIMERS!!! Then were absolutely unwilling to communicate with us in order to remove her camper from the campground. Campers there are an awesome community, it's too bad the management has declined so far.

Absolutely the best campground we’ve ever stayed at! Pine Crest Campground in Windsor, NY is a true gem. Sue and Jim are hands down the nicest, most helpful hosts you could ask for. They go above and beyond — if you get a package, they’ll let you know right away or even deliver it to your site. Need propane? Just set your tank out front, and it’s filled and back within a few hours at a great price... Absolutely the best campground we’ve ever stayed at! Pine Crest Campground in Windsor, NY is a true gem.

The campground itself is spotless, peaceful, and full of life on the weekends with fun events for all ages. Everything about this place shows how much pride the owners take in making sure their guests have a great experience. Words really don’t do it justice — you just have to experience Pine Crest for yourself. You won’t want to camp anywhere else after staying here!

Only stayed overnight. It looked like most were seasonal. He put us in a spot that rear of rv was out in roadway. Had to back up hill extend slider hitch and put boards under tires so my levelers would not drag. He did show up and help with that. Road in is the worst I have seen at any campground. Might be nice for seasonal, but not for 1 night.

Just an " ok" campground. Overpriced for the quality of camping. Site didn't even have as much as a gravel base, parked on grass covered tree roots. Appears most campers are seasonal with a lot of shoddy additions. The road in is dirt and very rough for about a 1/4 mile. Very dusty. Can't imagine what it's like if raining.
