Summary
This is glamping PLUS beautiful scenery. My favorite diva campsite, because it has pretty much everything you need to get away but not really. We used to catch so much fish here. But now, I enjoy hiking around the lake and just relaxing.
On this particular trip, we explored the hiking trails around Pinecrest Lake and also drove to several nearby places.
Nearby Places
Stanislaus River
Beardsley Dam
Sonora
Downtown Sonora was cute.
Mercer Caverns
We saw signs along the highway for tours of the Mercer Caverns, a cave located in Murphys, Calaveras County, CA. If you are claustrophobic, this is NOT fun.
Jamestown
Visited the Railtown State Historic Park.
