Awful host. Paid $250 for 2 nights in a camp site, trying to have fun with our kids. We will NOT be returning. Host was rude and yelled at us constantly, such disrespect.

Pulled in on my way by to see if I might want to come back in my rv, the lake is so pretty. Nope. Rude lady at entrance was not only no help but quite dismissive.

Pine Acres is hands down the best resort on Blue Lakes! We have been to all 4 resorts on blue lakes and now we will only come here. Tamara and her husband are awesome. They keep the place clean and orderly but are not over bearing at all. It's always a great time and experience for the whole family!!

Hello my name is Jessica and I would like everyone to please disregard Raylene R's review. The wedding ceremony was put together with some family members and myself. It's a special place to my family and I don't want one persons opinion to cloud anyone else's judgement. There was a misunderstanding for day use charge for the day of the ceremony for anyone who wasn't staying at the resort. That was easily taken care of when I spoke to Tamara. Treat people with kindness and respect and that'll get you a lot further in having something resolved. The ceremony was beautiful and it'll be a memory I'll never forget. Moments like that make you realize what's important in life, not a petty misunderstanding that you allow yourself to blow up on someone.
I appreciate all the stay that helped out that weekend!!! Can't wait to get back up there soon!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Raelynn R.Sacramento, CA01Jun 9, 2023
DO NOT give these people any of your business!!! They have insulted our entire family which has given them a TON of business now for a wedding and over the past 10 years in trailer space rental.
Currently we have rented a lot of rooms and space in which to have a wedding and reception. Check this out... they have audacity to charge ANYONE who wants to visit and help with the food prep and to visit and to get the vibe going almost $20 just to be on the property. Additionally they will charge every person who wants to attend the wedding tomorrow $20 just to be on the property.THAT is absurd and completely unreasonable. Plus the woman who confronted us at the entrance completely lied about our discussion to the other members of our family. Please understand it's not really about the money it's about the principle of the thing which is totally absurd and they are being extremely unreasonable and unflexible.. do not give them any of your business and avoid this place like the plague.Helpful 2Thanks 3Love this 0Oh no 0 - JoAnn G.Petaluma, CA0121Jul 3, 2023
The hidden gem of Blue Lakes. I have been vacationing at that lake for 44 years. Pine Acers is the only resort left on that lake that is about FAMILY!!!! Tamera and Norm make you treat you like family and make every stay memorable! They go above and beyond and take so much pride in running that campground, so it is always a wonderful vacation for all! It is truly an amazing CAMPING experience. Yes, you have phone reception and WIFI.... but it is not a "posh resort" it is a put your phone away and chat with the other amazing campers that come back year after year! We have introduced several friends to Pine Acers.... they now come back on their own and love it as much as we do. We always feel safe there and know our children are safe. it is about being treated like family! If you show up and want to be disrespectful, you will be asked to leave and not return! So if you are looking for a fun family resort with lots of great people, guaranteed, laughs, good times and to make new friends, that you will see year after year. Well then look no further....

Let me tell you what this place is not. It's not a high end, high tech, high dollar spa resort.
What it is...
Is a homey, beautiful, friendly, fun place right on the lake. There are cottages and cabins along with RV sites, some with no services, some with full services. We had our 32' trailer at a lakeside spot for a week in early May. Because we chose this particular spot there was a 5" rise needed on the passenger side to make level...I only had 3 1/2" with me. The managers of the place will gladly back your RV into a spot for you and in this case provided wood blocks to help level the trailer. Later in the week our black tank filled so they loaned me their 30 gal portable dump tank so I could clear room in our tank for the rest of our stay. Our home is less than 45 minutes from here so I went home and got my pontoon boat and we've had guests come several times to cruise the lake with us. (This is a very small lake and the speed limit is 5 mph.)
There's a big lawn with bbq grills. Free-standing fire pits are welcome if they're off the ground. A clubhouse is available as well as a dock for fishing, a beach, and a swimming platform. If you need it there is strong cell service and the Wi-Fi seems to work great!
You'll love it.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Helen A.SD, SD240837Sep 17, 2022
I have been staying at Pine Acres, Blue Lakes, for over 25 years. My last visit was a total rip-off. They are now charging $200 a night for out-of-date, run- down cabins! On top of that, they charged me an $18 daily use fee for 2 hours beyond the approved check-out time. They gave me of 12 noon check out time, "as a favor," mid-week. when I stayed on to swim for 2 hours, they tacked on the day use fee. (Blue Lakes Lodge, across the street, never charges a day use fee for staying over to swim on a late check-out.) On top of that, the beach is miniscule at Pine Acres. It is mostly accommodating RV's and boats at this point. I would never recommend the cabins again. Mine was remodeled due to a fire, but all the others are still 1960's style with pee-stained rugs. On top of that, they don't allow dogs except for RV's! I can understand if they were to put in new carpets, but they have not been replaced except for Cabin 8. The front desk was extremely unfriendly and rude...again, hard to understand after years and years of loyalty. (I used to bring my daughters here when they were in elementary school!) You are better off camping or doing an RV here.

Pine Acres is a great place to camp or rent one of the cabins! The management is awesome, very clean grounds, nice sites for our 30' trailer, the little store has all the basics and the lake is awesome!
We go numerous times a year, and have for several years and would rate it at 5 plus everytime!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jami B.Rodeo, CA736Sep 14, 2021
We went there and camped in Site B September 9th thru the 13th , very clean, nice set up. We were able to fish, they have a nice partially covered fishing dock, can also fish from the shore. Kayaking is really nice since the whole lake is a no wake zone Lake. Swimming is a breeze in there private beach area, or in the lake itself. Tamara was very helpful and is a people person, which means allot to us. We will be going back many more times. We had a very relaxing and fun time there.
