East Meadow Campground

Once rec. gov took over reservations everything went smoothly for us. Thank yoi

The toilets were not working the entire time we were there and not posted anywhere and just got water a few days before our arrival. Camp hosts were lovely and very nice people and not their fault and most embarrassed by the state of affairs. Nothing posted by NID at all so drove up to other campgrounds all closed and again nothing posted anywhere on boards that would have saved an hour drive. NIDs responsibility and every NID people we spoke to knew nothing and made attempt to alert campers of any and all closures. There was zero wood available and hosts said had been awhile since had any and no idea when they would. Won’t go back sadly!

The campground opened late, due to Winter storm damage, which is understandable. However, in the extra time that they took to open, the Forest Service did a poor job of getting it ready. We had to modify our reservation because of the late opening, so imagine our surprise when the flush toilet bathrooms were not open! In fact, there was only a SINGLE pit toilet available to the entire campground. To be fair, a Ranger did come by while we were there to try to turn on the water to the flush toilets, but there was a big leak that prevented her from leaving them operating. In addition, the Dump Station associated with the campground was locked up, and the camp hosts did not know when it would be available. All in all, the experience could have been better.

We reserved campsites to find out the water was shut off, only one restroom was open for the whole complex, no camp host to even speak with, and to top it off our planned week camping at that campground(according to the website) was on FF or first come first served basis! But, NID or Nevada Irrigation District, posted on a white piece of paper that the gates were being closed on Monday October 10, 2022 at 12 noon! I find this disappointing that no more than 1/4 mile away is Pass Creek campground with full services except a camp host. I am perplexed at the misinformation given to campers and the frustration felt by all campers that we encountered. I would hope that I would get a response personally back on this review, but I am not holding my breath.

Beautiful campground but there was no camp host so spaces were unkept, pine needles, dirt and rocks scattered throughout out space. Most spaces are pretty tight for an RV so knowing the larger spaces is a must. Received an email 2 days ahead of our trip saying water would be off so we anticipated such but should've received some sort of discount as all bathrooms were out of commission. Felt bad for the hunters and tent campers, especially the ones who told be they called the local ranger station and were told that the bathrooms were operational. Had to give them xtra water and TP. We're quasi local and been here many times before and love the area and campground.

The water was shut down to the camp site, so you had to bring your own. Due to the water being shut off, the bathrooms were locked with no access to a toilet. They did not provide portable bathrooms either. There was no camp host to regulate other campers. Pass creek camp ground (next door) had available running water, bathrooms and a camp host.

Beautiful camping area with lots of trails nearby, including access to Pacific Crest Trail. This is a clean, quiet, and secluded place. secure your food in the food lockers in each campground. Bring scent-proof baggies for your food to avoid bear encounters. Lovely place, wish I could have stayed longer. Mosquito Fire (2022) brought smoky air in the evenings, clearing in the daytime. Please respect the place, pick up after yourselves, and observe any fire restrictions.

The camp hosts were very nice and helpful. I WISH YOU WERE PAYING THEM FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THEY DO!

Got the site i wanted and had a nice relaxed time at the beautiful facility..thank you

Great experience, wonderful site!
