Meadowview Campground — Hotel in Sonora

Pretty nice $30 first come first serve no reservation campground about 3/4 mile from Pinecrest Lake. About 3/4 mile walk to the lake depending on camp site. Flush toilets with lights, but only a few for the whole campground. Good fresh water from spigots. Trees are slowly dying away leaving less and less shade so be nice to the trees when your here. Most camp sites have several spots for tents, and most have large paved parking pads for at least 2-3 good sized vehicles, several different types of sites from open sunny, to shady, some rocky, some in a meadow and some with tents spots down a hill. You can hear the highway from the campground louder depending on what size you campng in but its not horrible, but the semis drag brakes can be loud if late at night. They allow fires in fire pits currently when I visited. I had to review because there was no good picture of the camp site layout I could find online except their hard to read size number map posted so I had to put a good map I found of the grounds, enjoy, camp, and have fun!! 4 stars cuz its far from lake, lots of sun, limited bathrooms and neighbors houses with lights on...

BEWARE CAMPERS: (Camp host gave away our site and kicked us out of the campground.) A large group of us decided to head up the hill and go camping. We reserved and paid for 3 campsites for a duration of over a week. Towards the end of our stay we, as a group, decided to go to the lake. When we came back one of our campsite was taken! The camp host decided to pull our tag and give it to someone else because there, "wasn't enough camping equipment out" over all we complained and wanted our site back, which, was paid in full for another 2 days. They would NOT give our PAID site back and eventually kicked our entire group out of our other 2 campsites. We had a total of 18 people including many small children that we had to uproot and find another spot up the hill to set up camp. Very dishonorable camp site + host to allow this kind of behavior. We will not be back. Not to mention the campground was...

Review is for the Dodge Ridge Organization that manages this site not the campground itself.

Visited on a busy weekend. Rules state an 8 person maximum, site next to us had easily 20+ people in 8 tents.

Dodge ridge patrol drove by this site multiple times during the day/night and did not enforce the user limit or quiet hours all weekend with this loud group going well past 3am all weekend.

Something to consider for the future booking as we haven’t had this experience over at the Pinecrest campground or any other campgrounds for that matter.

Campground - 4 stars - is nice with exception of the occasional noise coming from the adjacent lair of the bear campground and...
