Want to Know.
Answers to the most common questions about our seasonal sites, the lake, and how it all works. Don't see yours? Just give us a call.
01 — Reservations
Getting a Site.
-
Pine Island Kinderhook fills sites through direct inquiry — not online booking. Call or text Sam at (517) 618-1658, send an email to info@staypineisland.com, or fill out the inquiry form on this site. Because only 3 to 4 sites open up each season, reaching out early is the best move.
-
Pine Island has 31 total sites, but most are filled by returning seasonal guests who come back year after year. Typically, only 3 to 4 sites become available for new guests each season. When those are gone, they're gone.
-
The earlier the better. Many guests who land a site at Pine Island reach out in the fall or winter before the season they want. If you're thinking about next summer, now is the right time to get on our radar.
-
No — and that's by design. We prefer to connect with guests directly before committing a site. It lets us make sure the fit is right on both sides. Call, email, or use our inquiry form and Sam will follow up personally.
02 — Rates & Season
What It Costs.
-
Seasonal site rates start at $3,200 per season for full hookup sites (electric, water, and sewer), covering the full April–October season. Contact Sam at (517) 618-1658 for current pricing on specific sites.
-
No. Pine Island Kinderhook is a seasonal campground only. Sites are rented for the full April through October season. We do not offer nightly, weekend, or weekly rates.
-
The season runs April through October each year. Sites are not available outside of this window. Many guests use their site on weekends throughout the season, with some spending most of the summer on the lake.
-
The seasonal rate covers your site for the full April–October season, including electric, water, and sewer hookups, access to 700+ feet of private Silver Lake frontage, use of the on-site boat launch and marina, and access to all campground amenities.
03 — Campsites & Hookups
Your Site.
-
Yes. All 31 sites at Pine Island Kinderhook include electric, water, and sewer hookups. Pull in, plug in, and get settled — no hauling water or managing tanks for the season.
-
Pine Island accommodates a range of trailer and motorhome sizes. To confirm whether your rig fits a specific site, mention your rig type, length, and number of slideouts in your inquiry. That's the fastest way for Sam to give you a confident answer.
-
Yes. The campground sits on 5 acres of well-shaded property with mature trees throughout. Sites are well-spaced and the shade keeps things comfortable even on the warmest summer days.
-
Contact Sam directly at (517) 618-1658 or info@staypineisland.com to discuss your pet situation. It's best to bring it up during your initial inquiry.
