I've been camping up here for nearly 30 years and while the new reservation system makes it harder to camp spontaneously, the additional staff on-site add a personal connection to the campground that was missing before. It's nice to see a friendly face greeting you when you arrive especially if you have a question or concern. The campground is well maintained and rules are enforced regularly but not harshly, which is ideal. The walk to the lake is relatively short and it's nice to be away from the main road where there's heavy traffic on weekends and holidays.

Our favorite camping spot. We love it now that there’s a reservation system… only bad thing was they’ve always been strict with noise after 10pm and this time it was horrible. 1 camp site screaming and partying until 1am and running up and down the camp sites yelling. Yet they want to make sure my car isn’t on the dirt in the spot we’re at… they need a new host especially someone who goes and checks all sites and enforces quite time at 10 like signs say.

This site is HUGE! Tons of room for multiple tents on flat ground.
The facilities are well maintained and there are multiple water sources throughout the camp grounds.
It is about a 1 mi walk to the beach from this site as well.

We have been camping at Meadowview for 25 years, we absolutely love Pinecrest! The all reservation camping is horrible so many empty sites. No staff patrol the campground at quite time, we had several campers with extremely loud music & loud talking until 2 am.

Nice location, lots of shady campsites, and about a half mile from Pinecrest Lake. However, the bathrooms were disgusting. I have camped here many times and I’ve never seen the bathrooms this bad. Very disappointed.
