About

Meadowview Campground is situated in the Pinecrest Basin approximately one mile from the Pinecrest Lake Day Use Area and half a mile off Highway 108 near the Summit Ranger Station. This established campground offers 100 camping sites, each equipped with a metal stove/fire pit and picnic table. The campground features paved roads and parking areas of varying lengths to accommodate different vehicle sizes. Water hydrants are strategically located throughout to serve multiple sites, and all restrooms are equipped with flush toilets and sinks. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations accepted. Due to its proximity to Pinecrest Lake and the scenic Pinecrest Recreation Area, Meadowview fills nightly on weekends and many weekdays during the peak summer season between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Early arrival is strongly recommended if you plan to secure a site during busy periods. The campground is operated by Dodge Ridge Corporation under a special use permit administered by the Stanislaus National Forest.

Directions

From Sonora, take Highway 108 east for approximately 30 miles. Take the Pinecrest exit onto Dodge Ridge Road (Pinecrest Lake Road) and continue approximately half a mile to the campground.
