New listing
Meadowview Campground is located by Pinecrest Lake, just 30 miles east of Sonora, at an elevation of 5,600 feet. The campground caters to all ages and is within walking distance of the lake, an amphitheater, a visitor center, a swimming beach and spectacular hiking trails; the area also includes a day-use beach and a marina, a small shopping center and a coffee shop. Meadowview offers a variety of tent, trailer and RV camping with access to all the fishing, hiking, swimming and paddling that Pinecrest Lake is famous for. Pets are welcome, but must be compliant with Tuolumne County leash laws and never left unattended. The Pinecrest Lake National Recreation Trail takes hikers on an easy 4-mile stroll around Pinecrest Lake. Rainbow trout is a common catch in the lake, and swimming is enjoyed at the sandy beach. Educational programs are also a highlight of the recreation area, and bike rentals are on hand so campers can bike around the area. The area is mostly forested, and each site has a paved parking pad, picnic table and campfire ring. Drinking water is handy, and restrooms have flush toilets, sinks and a utility sink. No RV hookups are available, and there are no showers. Many campsites are shaded by trees and sit near the southwest side of the 300-acre Pinecrest Lake in Stanislaus National Forest. In this beautiful mountain landscape, wildlife viewing opportunities include marmots, squirrels, coyotes and deer. Stanislaus National Forest is situated in the central Sierra Nevada Mountains, between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, and the area boasts gorgeous views of snow-capped mountain peaks and California's Great Central Valley. Several activities are located in the nearby area: ample hiking trails, horseback riding, fishing, mountain bike riding and water activities. Pinecrest Lake is a boating and swimming recreation area with restaurants, stores, boat rentals and an outdoor movie theater. Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort is a ski area in the winter and in the summer is a basecamp for mountain biking, hiking and a great indoor/outdoor BBQ. Aspen Meadow Pack Station is three miles from Pinecrest Lake and offers horseback rides and a trail head for hiking. Kennedy Meadows, 30 miles east of Pinecrest, offers great river access for fishing, horse and bike rides, hiking, and restaurants. Sonora Pass, a scenic winding highway that has guided people across the Sierra Nevada since 1852, is located nearby.
