Welcome to the Summit Ranger District, which encompasses the upper Highway 108 corridor on the Stanislaus National Forest. Large motor homes and trailers cannot be accommodated in some campgrounds. Electric and sewer hookups are not available. Fee RV dump stations are available at Clark Fork Campground, Dardanelle Resort and near Pinecrest on Highway 108 (closed on Sunday), one-half mile west of Summit Ranger District office. For the most current information please call the Summit Ranger District at (209) 965-3434, or stop by the office on Highway 108 at the turn-off to Pinecrest Recreation Area.

Data interpretation: campground-level amenity flags mean the amenity is reported somewhere in the campground—not at every site. “Not verified” is intentionally different from “No.”

Campsite-level check

Will my RV fit?

Compares your rig with each imported campsite's documented entry type, driveway length, surface, grade, overhead clearance and hookups. Sign in to use a saved vehicle, or enter dimensions below.

Compatibility uses recorded campsite fields only. It does not certify road access, turning room or overhead obstacles on the way in — check approach-road photos and the managing agency.
Camper photos by site

What the actual site looks like

Photos are attached to a site number only when the contributor stated it; moderators remove location metadata and reject unsupported associations.

No camper photos for this site yet

Be the first to add what the pad, entrance and approach road really look like.

Add a photo of a specific campsite

Location metadata (EXIF GPS) is removed before publication. Photos appear after moderation.

Moderated camper reports

Report conditions or correct a fact

Structured reports are reviewed before they appear. They add evidence next to official data; they never replace it silently.

Noise & quiet

Daytime/overnight quiet, generators, traffic, neighbours.
