Pine Meadows Campground

I thought our privacy was invaded several times, I understand rangers coming by doing their jobs, but walking up on a camp in the dark, flashlight off was very creapy to me.

Very clean. Great place to take your kids and just relax. Water is close by

Space is in the middle of two other sites there’s a long divot in the ground that goes down hill and makes it hard to place tents. The space isn’t bad but wouldn’t be my first choice. Overall it is close to the bathrooms and water.

I came to have a relaxing weekend just to have to hear a generator run 12 hours a day the hole week I was there. It was loud enough you can hear yourself think. Most of the time they left all day but ran a loud generator. I’m sad to say I will not be back or recommend the camp ground. It was so bad everyone at the end of the campground cheered when he ran out of fuel.

Reservations required. No hook-ups. Variety of size and type of sites, some right on lake, others up against roadway. Decent AT&T signal.

Bring what you need with you. Closest stores back in Cottage Grove.

Check-in host was pleasant. Lots of signs stating all vehicles must have pass displayed but if you arrive later in the day there’s no one at booth to give you your pass.

We've come here on and off for 3 years. Several long stays and most recently over 4th of July which was very quiet! Clean park and nice folks. My only suggestion would be to allow a short term parking pass for our family who live 30 mi away, maybe a 2 hour so pass, they can at least come out and enjoy a meal with us. Not being able to have any visitors has been the only drawback.

1. No place to dump gray water. So, everyone dumps it around their campsite. Unsanitary.
2. Could use dog bags and dog waste bins.
3. Would be helpful to have support or somebody checking in when they see red flags happening.
For example: One guy ran his generator all day and all night until 10pm, and he wasn't even there and it was in the shade with a breeze outside. Not even hot outside.

Clean and well maintained

We had site 59 which has almost no shade and few trees. The overall site was beautifully maintained with hot showers, water at almost every site, and clean bathrooms. The rules are much stricter at this site so be prepared to have a ranger or volunteer driving by all day. Great place to take kids with easy access to the lake to swim.

We only stayed for one night during the week, but our short time was very enjoyable. The campground sits right on the lake and the sunset is beautiful and the morning stillness serene. This site is right next to the bathroom, which is convenient but I didn't find to be any more noisy or busy. The spots can be close together, but they do go quite deep from the road to the lake, which is nice.
