[Meadowview Campground](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd525156.jpg "Meadowview Campground") [Meadowview Sign](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd525159.jpg "Meadowview Sign") [Meadowview Campground](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd525160.jpg "Meadowview Campground") Meadowview Campground is situated in the Pinecrest Basin approximately one mile from the Pinecrest Lake Day Use Area and ½ mile off of Highway 108 and the Summit Ranger Station. Campers are welcome on a first-come, first-served basis. It has 100 camping sites, each of which has a metal stove/ fire pit and a table. Roads and parking areas, which vary in length, are paved. Water hydrants are located to serve several sites. All restrooms have flush toilets and sinks. This campground fills nightly on weekends and many weekdays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is recommended that you arrive early in the day if you plan to find an available site.
Off Dodge Ridge Road near Pinecrest Campground within the Pinecrest Recreation Area.
BEST TIME EVER , highly recommend . Went during winter as they are closed . We will check out during the summer !
Meadowview in my opinion is better than Pinecrest campground. At Meadowview the camp sites are further apart and it is rarely crowded
Quite and remote enough to enjoy a couple of days in the wilderness.
The camp is well organized, has running tap water near each camping area, bathrooms (for doing your business but no showers), and dedicated trash containers.
I'd give it a 5/5 if only the bathrooms were more tidy and maintained.
The camping here was nice. You just need to get here early on a Thursday if you plan on camping over the weekend during the summer season. I got in on a friday morning and struggled to still find a spot (this camp site is first come, first serve). The only thing i did not like was that this place has no showers, but hey, you can't always have it all. But Pinecrest Lake is really nice.
