Piney Bay
Reviewed May. 27, 2022

Good for the price

Pros: the price in unbeatable and the lake view is gorgeous. There was hot water in the showers and the bathroom was decently clean

Cons: It’s close to a nuclear plant (there’s evacuation signs at the campsite just in case) - personally, I didn’t trust swimming or fishing in the water. It’s a decent walk to the bathrooms for most of the spots (check map and assume it’s further than it seems). It’s fairly far from the main highway and most things (plan to drive 25+ minutes to get anything). Some of the spots are very hard to get into. The guy who lives there and “manages” the location cannot help with anything regarding booking your spot or changing it or anything - you have to call a number where I could never get an answer

Was not bad for staying a night or two

Media: photos are from the campsite and video is from Ozark National Forest (about 40min from campsite - I recommend for a nice hike!)
