I am a tent camper so bear that in mind. Do not get me wrong, pinecrest lake is beautiful.  And if you take the trail to the backside of the lake you get access to great granite back country.

But this campground is big. BIG. and crowded.  And then so many people come in for day use that it is a mob.  The layout is open not private.  Lots of tall trees but no understory.

I did camp here when it was only partially open at the end of the season - October and I pretty much had the place to myself as the "season" was over. While cold I could enjoy the lake without the movies nights, boats and crowds on the beach.

The campground has everything - table, fire pit, storage locker and bathrooms.
