The Best Camping Near Pollock Pines, California

Camp sites are well spaced apart allowing for privacy.   I had site 7 and was able to set up 2 tents 8x10ft each.  Toilets are vault toilets.   It is quite a distance to the lake so many campers drive to and from.  Hosts were great and keep it well organized and clean.   Cons: mosquitoes and flies.

Great hosts

Not my favorite but there were a lot of first-come-first-served sites so we were able to do an impromptu camp week. 

Not a lot of shade. super dusty long walk to the water... The dirt seemed EXTRA dusty and not as much relief from the heat as we had hoped - The water was jumping right in temp which was nice. Oh, and the camp-hosts weren't the friendliest!
