Meadowview Campground - Campsite

Great campsite! Restrooms were kept clean daily…read more Heavily monitored by campsite staff. Absolutely no service for AT&T. Loved having the little community center that served coffee and snacks near loop 400. Best part of the site!

No reservation needed or possible, it's a first come first serve. To find a spot you'll have to…read moredrive through the campgrounds. It helps to have one person get out of the car and read the permits, sometimes previous occupants forget to take their permits off the site markers, so it's easy to think the site is occupied. Once you've found your desired site, park(each site has it's own parking spot). Make sure you take a picture of your license plate and remember your site number. Head back towards the entrance of the camp grounds, in front of the info board you'll find the permits you'll need to register for you site, oh yes make sure you have a pen too, and exact change, cause you'll be depositing payment into a slot. I didn't have exact change, and wasn't able to find staff around. I recommend arriving well before evening, so you're not setting up tent in the dark and with bugs. Beautiful meadow view. Restroom well stocked with toilet paper, trash was emptied daily, clean except for the bugs, but what do you expect, it's better than porta-potties, functional soap dispensers and sinks with hot water. What I loved about this campground was that each site has a parking spot and it's own fire pit and some even have benches nearby. You're allowed to burn any downed wood, twigs, pine cones around, NOT TRASH. There are dumpsters around to dump trash. Tons of cute spots to take pictures. One last thing, I have sprint and the reception SUCKED, I was only able to receive and make calls. But luckily we didn't need phone service, just make sure you check the weather & maybe make a make available offline if you're maps dependent.

Golden Pines RV Resort & Campground - Zen cabin

What a terrific place!!! First time staying here. I rented the Zen cabin for 5 nights. It was the…read moremost relaxing vacation ever! Quiet well kept grounds. The cabin was perfect for me. Just a bed, sink and toilet. And it did have electricity. Campsite also includes a built in bbq, a fire pit and table and two chairs on the deck. Was able to park my car right next to the cabin. Cabin also included a table top fan which was very helpful, as it was a very hot week. As someone who wanted to camp, but didn't want to sleep on the ground, these little cabins they have were perfect! Showers were coin op and just a quick walk from the cabin. Showers were .50 cents for 3 mins. You can add more quarters for more time. The communal bathrooms and showers were VERY clean at all times. Very well kept. The pool was terrific! Perfect temp and was very nice to hang out down there and read a book. Just a 5 min drive to big trees state park. Also a quick drive to Lake Alpine, Stanislaus river, Columbia state park, some terrific restaurants, and the moaning and Mercer caverns. The staff was super friendly and very helpful! All in all I had an amazing trip, and I will definitely be back!

We booked an overnight at this place a few years ago to attend a wedding. It is a smaller…read morecampground and feels a bit tight with 22 full-hook up sites and only 30 amp service. They have one site with 50 amp. They do have 6 pull-through sites for larger rigs. They allow tents on pull-through sites only. The sites are dirt, but fairly level. Anyone with a large rig and tow vehicle should avoid this place or call to ensure you will fit. There are several large trees in the park that can make backing your rig difficult. Most of the sites are fairly small. If you are trailering another vehicle, they recommend renting another site to accommodate that tow vehicle which is a bummer. They do have a pool, showers and bathrooms. For me, it was cool to experience this place one time, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Great place to explore/hike/fish/hunt. Be prepared and safe…read more Research on the fact.usda.gov sometimes needs a little more clarification. If you're going to overnight, confirm with the ranger stations on if you need a wilderness permit (free) which can not be ordered online and only available at all 4 ranger stations. What really sucks is that the ranger districts don't know much about the areas in all regions,only the area they oversee, and they will not answer your question relating to an area they are not assigned, they'll defer you to the correct station to answer your questions: Summit (all areas need a wilderness permit for overnight, but not when you're exploring during the day) I felt the lady who answered my questions from this station was kind of curt with me. She may need to get some training on customer service or choose a new line of work if she doesn't want to answer phone calls. Calaveras (some areas) call to confirm if the area you're going to overnight at may need it. Groveland (some areas) call to confirm if the area you're going to overnight at may need it. If you last minute decide to overnight, the permits can be collected at a self service area for when the stations are closed.

This is truly a beautiful place to come & just get your Zen back! I mean the meadows, Duck lake ,…read moreAlpine lake, cherry lake need I say more. They have some of the most gorgeous hiking trails. If you like mountain biking that's a great option too. The camping here is always fun. The smell of all the trees, so refreshing.
