"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."
"Whip out your wallet and empty on it on the check-in desk of this thousand trails (or whatever) park."
"Our tent site was #311 and it was perfectly tucked in the trees with a stream alongside."
"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."
"If you plan to go into Yosemite NP, it's a long drive so plan accordingly. Our family really enjoys Rainbow Pools and Yosemite Pine's proximity to Rainbow Pools is part of why we stay here."
"Not located in the Yosemite Park (we made that mistake). 20-30min drive to Yosemite Park.
Very cute and quiet spot.
Trails around camp grounds, petting zoo for kids."
"Watering holes on campgrounds and around the area like Cherry Lake, Rainbow Pools and Gods Bath! California is full of beautiful wonders and this little gem in Stanislaus Forest is one of them!"
"The site has several trails and is secluded in a great little canyon."
"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."

$32 / night
"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."
"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."
"The campground was beautiful and my kids had a blast walking around all the buildings (hall, chapel, cabins/dorms) and on baseball field, disc golf course, and basketball court!"
$33 - $66 / night
"The lake is walkable but the path is very steep and there aren’t many places to sit. We ended up driving 5mins to the boat launch and hung out near there instead."
"Fishing and recreation on lake with some boat in areas to camp. Water levels vary. Forested but large fires have ravaged much of the adjacent area in the past few years. Campground host,fees."
ScoutSeemed ok until people showed up at 11pm drunk. Ran their generator right next to our tent. No camp host on site. . No sleep. Learned too late the place has a reputation. Too bad. It’s a beautiful spot.
ScoutThis is a very nice RV park with mature trees. Close to lots of cute towns and wineries.
ScoutWe just returned from RV camping at Cole Ranch and highly recommend it. The grassy hook-up RV sites were big and welcoming. The shoreline overlooking the river was relaxing, quiet and inviting. Barry the camp host was amazing. He was attentive, informative and available. The amenities were above and beyond anything we have seen at other locations. Complimentary watercraft for the river, stocked outdoor kitchen, and hot showers with shampoo/lotion etc. The extra touches made you feel at home. One afternoon we took out one of the facilities canoes on the river and relaxed on the water all afternoon. Fishing was a success, what a bonus. We will definitely be returning next year with family and friends. Barry thank you for the delightful experience.
ScoutGorgeous area and plenty of space to go around. The hot springs parking lot signs that say that there is camping at the day use area where this is marked. BUT not far down the road there are so many sites. Plus a fresh water spring
GuideLots of camping spots in the area, all well spaced so you can live your hermit life. But it is right next to a popular byway, so it can be noisy. Overall no complaints, would stay again!
ScoutThe ground is very flat and many areas are paved with gravel. At 7500 feet above sea level, the view is wide and the scenery is beautiful, especially the sunset view.
GuideIt's suitable enough of a campground, Verizon works. There is sun for solar panels and enough shade to be fine mostly, I have a canopy so it helps make it more than fine. Only downside is the ground is basically dust dirt. My dogs love it, my bedding doesn't!
TravelerA beautiful setting at the head of Lundy Canyon. Recently under new management that has resurrected this lovely place. Excellent wooded sites, lots of privacy. Large RV sites with full hook ups or secluded tent sites with no facilities except showers available and fresh water. Friendly owners love on site. Excellent fishing with boat rentals and a little store.
GuideWe couldn’t find this spot. We went up a dirt road near where it said on the map but it didn’t look right and wasn’t very accessible for our car. We ended up camping further down the road in what seemed to be a day use car park? We’re not really sure. It’s definitely worth checking in daylight hours, we struggled as it was 10pm when we arrived
