About Swimming Pool
Beat the summer heat at Pine Ridge Campground's sparkling 20'x40' in-ground swimming pool. Nestled at 2,050 feet in the Michaux State Forest, our pool offers a refreshing escape from the valley temperatures below. The cool mountain air and warm pool water create the perfect combination for a relaxing afternoon.
Our pool is exclusively available to Pine Ridge seasonal site holders and their registered guests, ensuring a peaceful, uncrowded swimming experience. The RFID-secured gate system means you never have to worry about unauthorized access—just tap your card and enjoy.
The pool deck features comfortable lounge chairs, umbrella tables, and plenty of space for families to spread out. Whether you're doing laps, teaching the kids to swim, or simply floating on a lazy afternoon, the pool is the heart of summer life at Pine Ridge.
