"I think this is my favorite California State Park. It is situated in the Calaveras Big Trees Giant Sequoia Grove."
"Pros - you are in the middle of the Sequoias, near hiking, kayaking, etc. Beautiful river nearby; pretty easy in and out for small-ish RVs. Hard to beat the location."
"A short walk down to the edge of the Stanislaus River and you won't want to leave. Very family friendly."
"This hidden gem has a great lay out with tent only sites up front and spots for RVs and tents around the loop in the back - all sites have tables and fire rings are fairly close to several pit toilets"
$40 / night
"The campsites are a very short walk from the lake. the sites are spacious, well spaced and shady. Amenities are quite good with flush toilets, showers, a general store and more."
"This is a nice campground on Pinecrest Lake near Sonora Pass in Stanislaus National Forest."
"Some noise from chainsaws in the distance one day, and some target practice, but neither lasted long. 2 bars LTE of Verizon."
"There are a few people on dirt bikes ripping around trails so not fully secluded but still a good spot."
$25 - $35 / night
"Perfect location. Sites are decent size and some are more private than others. Site 97 is large and relatively private. Great for a pop-up camper and two tents."
"I made the drive in a 2wd cargo van and I saw an 80s Ford Mustang down there at the same time but i don't think I'd recommend doing that. A basic truck or SUV would have an easy time driving down."
"I loved it super secluded way off the beaten path. Great camp host and the fishing was incredible"
"Really nice campground for families - bike trails, hiking trails, and access to the lake! Nearby showers are nice, too! Campground is near Tahoma Market if you need ice or last minute goodies."
"Pros: If you’re tired of fighting crowds around Lake Tahoe in peak season, head to the north west side of the lake to Sugar Pine where you’ll find lots of open sites amongst shady pines."
"Surrounded by trees, typical pretty campsite. Campgrounds is next to the water for close fishing. Less than 10 minutes to Pinecrest Lake. First come First serve. Dog friendly."
"Very nice , loved camping right next to the river. Bathrooms were very clean."
$30 / night
"With great sites, some close to the creek, friendly camp hosts, and an abundance of nearby activities, this is a must."
"You can walk to the pot holes for a swim or cross the street to one of the most beautiful lakes. It’s close to lots of trails. Easy access. Has bear boxes and fire rings."
$58 - $80 / night
"Very peaceful location with amenities for all needs. Far enough from the road to be quiet."
GuideGreat location to the TRT. Stayed here the night before getting on the TRT. Very quiet and plenty of sites open. Down side is all the used TP along the logs. Please leave no trace behind or use the clean pit toilets. Definitely will come back to this campground. The creek is nice.
ScoutHad to check out a few spots to get WiFi AT&T one bar the sun set are awesome can see colors in the sky for a good two hour
TravelerRed Cloud Rd offers few viable camping sites. The road becomes increasingly rough and eroded, with deep ruts and drainages. 4WD or AWD is necessary. Site offers scenic views, unobstructed night sky, and interesting exploration.

ScoutIt's really hard to get more information or pictures of the camp. Obviously, the page is setup to the Dyrt application and must be downloaded into your phone.
You are not going to get any information if you don't do that. Disgusting how they are trying to get money no matter what.
TravelerThe owners here are wonderful and the sites are great unfortunately I didn’t get too to stay due to an issue I had with my truck I highly recommend this little piece of heaven
GuideIf you like to fish and hike this is a lovely place. Pro-tip: the spot next to the camp host is the best. The ones down the hill by the river are smaller, dark and cold.
TravelerThe campground is very large. It takes 20 minutes to drive from the entrance to the site. The nearest store is half an hour away by car, so you need to be well prepared before entering. The site space is large, there is a distance between sites, and the privacy is very good.
TravelerMax overnight stay = 1 night at trailhead (other nearby THs are Bell Meadow & Gianelli), and dispersed camping is allowed. Medium sized parking lot, plus a few back-in sites. Popular with hikers/ backpackers & horses. 3 mi RT to Camp Lake, 8 to Bear Lake. I will try Lilly Lake next time. Good places for swimming.
