Meadowview Campground

Dont expect it to be quiet after quiet time

The bathroom toilets were frequently clogged and some bathroom sinks were not working. Also, campsite rules not enforced. Other sites had 4-6 tents and had well over 6 people. Noise was a problem.

Very busy campground but nice large campsites. Some large groups of people, most of whom were quiet after 10pm, but not all. Our campsites were near the road which had traffic early morning. Great hike around Pinecrest lake and good to get away from all the crowds at the main access area to the beach/lake. The drive through Sonora Pass is spectacular and well worth it. Beautiful hike from Kennedy Meadow Resort.

I was happy that Meadowview has started taking reservations. Our site #409 was shady and large, but the bear box was filthy and we needed to clean it before using. Be aware that yellowjackets are out in force and will swarm you at every meal. The bathrooms are in a state of disrepair with toilets that barely flush and only one working sink. Staff did a poor job of cleaning it.
The highlight was discovering that the Pinecrest Community Lodge, just across from the 400 loop, has clean bathrooms and you can buy a hot shower there for $10.
Cell service for T-mobile is non-existent, but Verizon had weak signal. The General store at Pinecrest is well-stocked with camping essentials.

We moved from meadow view to pine crest to be closer to the lake. The campground is very nice. However, restrooms need a serious renovation.

The campground was wonderful with large sites and fairly calm even on a weekend. Unfortunately our site was left with other people’s trash which we picked up. The bathrooms are extremely dated and old. They do try to keep them clean but they seriously need updating. They were kind of creepy going into even during the day as the lighting was horrible. Otherwise a very nice campground with friendly people. The lake is in walking distance or an easy bike ride. There is a store close by. Ignore the bathrooms and all is good!

Great experience! Love everything about the campground

Interesting alternative to the Pinecrest campground, slightly farther away from the lake and closer to the main road. Only problem was that driveway which should be big enough for 2 cars was small and it was hard to park 2 cars there (we had to go over the rocks). But place is nice, restrooms are clean.

Decent amount of space, sort of away from most campers though very close to the road way and walk way. Overall quiet and clean despite the number of people walking by and heading to the lake. This campsite isn’t too far from restrooms either. I would definitely come back.

Didn't expect Black Bears visiting our campsite 3 times the first night, tried to get into our food boxes but was unable to get to food as I shouted and flashed my flashlight to scare it away. My wife and daughters and grandson were too afraid to spend another night since most of that section broke camp the following morning and they felt we were not safe there. I paid for two nights but we ended up staying 1 night.
