Pinecrest Campground is nestled in the Stanislaus National Forest in Pinecrest, California. Located in the central Sierra Nevada Mountains, it sits between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, making it a fantastic outdoor getaway. Here’s everything you need to know about Pinecrest Campground.
Dry camping, also known as boondocking, is camping without hookups—no electricity and no water connections. This is how we primarily use our trailer since most of the campgrounds we visit, like California state parks, are dry. They don’t offer water…
Sunset-Union Valley was a beautiful campground filled with pine trees, lake views, and large campsites. We enjoyed spending time on the lake and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Donner Memorial is a fun campground. It has a lake, it has nice trails, it has lots of trees, it even has some history. And it’s a convenient place to explore the town of Truckee. It’s a fantastic Tahoe camping location.
Hidden Springs offers small but private sites to relax at camp. It’s located in a beautiful area with redwood trees and the Eel river. If you want to relax under some trees it’s a great place to visit.
Van Damme campground is in a beautiful area. Whether you want to stay and relax at camp or explore the neighboring towns it is an enjoyable trip and a fantastic experience.
Bodega Dunes was a fun campground to visit. There are lots of limitations for dogs but we were all able to have fun and relax without even leaving our campsite.
Antlers campground has nice large sites and views of Lake Shasta. It gets very hot in the summer and unfortunately there is no swimming access available on the lake.
Elk Prairie campground is worth a visit. The campground itself is beautiful and worth seeing even if you stay there the entire trip. But if you have the time, take advantage of being in the center of some incredible experiences such as Fern Canyon.
Richardson Grove is a beautiful campground. It has redwoods and the Eel river. For being such a large campground there aren’t too many trailer friendly sites, but we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Campgrounds with both redwoods and a water feature are our favorite places to be.
Burlington Campground is in a beautiful location surrounded by redwoods. We enjoyed our visit and found it very relaxing. There are, however, many sites that wouldn't work for a trailer and most sites have little privacy.
Stillwater Cove was a very relaxing place to camp. There were beautiful trails that easily kept both the kids and dog busy. And a beach that you can walk to from camp.
