Meadowview Campground
Meadowview Campground is located less than a mile from Pinecrest Lake in the Stanislaus National Forest. Many visitors choose Meadowview because Pinecrest Campground is full or because they prefer to camp away the busy main campground. A paved bike path connects Meadowview Campground with Pinecrest Campground and the lakeside facilities. Pinecrest Lake offers swimming from a sandy beach in a dedicated swim area, boating, fishing, and hiking.
During the summer months, outdoor movies or ranger programs are offered every night at the amphitheater. Fishing is a favorite past-time from the shore or the designated fishing wharf. In the adjacent community of Pinecrest are a grocery store, sporting goods store, restaurant, bike rentals, and coffee bar. A snack bar is at the beach.
