Great site

Clean campsites close to Pinecrest Lake. Sites don't feel as close together as Pinecrest CG. Flush toilets and sinks, bear boxes, potable water. No t-mobile service but Verizon had no issues. Definitely plan on returning.

Great Value For Price

This is a great site. Close to town and Dodge Ridge. There isn't really any cell signal, which is a good thing. The site is somewhat primitive, but we really enjoyed it. There is a lot of shade and that is a plus. They provided us with firewood, and had more for purchase of needed. It is close to a few trails and the lake is very cold, but refreshing.

Great Family Campground - First Come First Served

No reservations so its first come, first served here. Most campsite are level, wide and spaced-out. About a 1/4 mile walk or drive to Pinecrest Lake. Store has food, ice, drinks close by. Steam Donkey bar and restaurant next to store.

A great spot to get relief from main Pinecrest CG crowds. Have camped here for more than 30 years, first come first served basis. Nice wide open site for RVs and tents. Bathrooms have toilets and sinks. Showers are pay token next to Pinecrest store.

The store, post office, bar and restaurant is 1/4 mile down Pinecrest road. Gets crowded on the weekends in summer.

This campground is less crowded than main CG. Cash only with CG host. ($23.00 per night, accepts senior and handicap discounts)
