What Guests Are Saying
East Meadow Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful location with well-maintained sites and easy access to the lake, making it ideal for swimming and paddle boarding. However, recent issues with water availability and restroom closures have impacted the overall experience, along with concerns about noise and site management due to the absence of a camp host. While many campers appreciate the campground's charm and atmosphere, consistent maintenance and communication about amenities are needed for improvement.

Very nice, secluded spot right next to the reservoir. Some spots are very close to one another. We stayed in spot 42 with a tent. Most other campers there had trailers or RVs. We found a flat spot large enough for our 14-person tent but some sites didn't look like they had enough flat ground for even a smaller dome. The bathrooms were nice and well-kept and had flushing toilets but no showers. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The drive in was beautiful and I love how secluded this campsite is. It was extremely peaceful and quiet at night.

Campground is quiet and off the beaten bath. Reservation said check-out is 2pm, but apparently it's noon, so beware! We stayed the morning of our check out to hang out at Jackson Meadow Reservoir. When we got back to the site at 12:45 a very rude person stopped in front of our site and told us: "this is our site". They idled their vehicle in front of us and watched us pack. At 1, even though we were just about ready to go, they got the camp hosts involved. Camp hosts told us check out was at noon even though I showed them the reservation with check out at 2 pm. It would be great to get check-in and out times correct so there aren't confrontations.

We camped in space #12. This is a very nice space, large camping area and easy hike path to the lake. We have a tent trailer, my truck and one car. My daughter and Granddaughter set up a tent to camp in. We walked around the campgrounds several times and met the hosts, who were very friendly. We had a wonderful time and will return. The restroom was close by and well maintained. The only drawback we faced was the size of the parking space. We squeezed the vehicles in without room to spare. Anything longer than my tent trailer and it would not have worked for us. We witnessed several other spaces with this same issue. So, the solution we came up with is... we will rent space #11 and space #12 when we return, giving us one really large camp area and plenty of parking area

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.
