East Meadow Campground

Easy access, beautiful scenery and clean camp grounds

great

the porti pottis where clean, no water though, hard to believe a water company NID cannot provide water to hundreds of campsites, other than that it was nice the lake was open too boats again

Definitely coming back.

Insufficient lake access. NID makes their own hours to work the boat ramp. No water, no fires, year after year, yet per night rate remains constant. One of the hundreds of free, “no host” sites provides the same
value.

Unfortunately, there was no water because NID had to repair some pipes which meant no water and no flush toilets. The porta potties were grossly full and were not pumped for 3 of the 4 days we were there. The trash bins, of which there were only 2 for the whole campground, were very full.

Jackson Meadows Reservoir East Meadows Campground is a lovely place with access to the beach for nice swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, etc.
The campsites are nice sized and fairly level.
The campsites have no services, which is generally ok. However, this time there was also no running water and the regular bathrooms with flushing toilets were closed. We were warned ahead of time via e-mail, which was good. However, it was challenging to camp for a week without access to water for filling up ... So, we're hoping this will be fixed as soon as possible. That said, there were plenty of Outhouses provided and they were kept very clean.

We come to this campground every year and recommend it for rustic camping in a beautiful place.

No water, no toilets for 1 day then porta pottie's that weren't cleaned soon enough and were filthy. No campfires because we didn't have a host, who was in the campground next to us. Lake was very low and fishing was non existent.

We stayed in campsite 20. The campground is beautiful, lots of shade from the trees, clean and well maintained. Our site had 1 mostly level spot for a tent that fit a 6 person tent that had a lake view somewhat hidden through the trees. The lake was a short hike from our site.

I am giving 4 stars for the 1 small mostly level space for the tent and there was no running water at the campground. They did email well in advance so we could bring water in, and they provided porta-potties that were clean to use.

I will be going back, no water is temporary, and I can deal with a slight slope for the views and easy access to the lake.

The campground ran out of water and closed the bathrooms. The dump station was also closed. Otherwise, the campground is nice. The lake was low but didn’t stop us from swimming and paddle boarding. The PCT is close and makes for good hike.
