Although it was a maiden voyage in our new trailer, it was a great experience. My wife and I have been camping at Hope Valley Campground every year since 2013. The first time I camped at the Hope Valley campground was August of 1976. We've had good campground hosts and one bad one. The folks there this year were wonderful. As soon as we arrived they stopped by and checked to see if we needed anything. They were visible the entire 4 days we were there. There is always something to do up there. Fishing or kayaking at Upper and Lower Blue Lakes. Fishing on the West Fork of the Carson River. Plenty of places to hike. Campground spaces are far enough apart for the new normal of "social distancing". We'll be back next year.

Dan and his wife were wonderful....we had some issues with our trailer and thank goodness he was there to help us. We have stayed at Hope Valley Campground numerous times in the last 45 years and have many lovely memories there. Campground is neat and tidy and we love it there.
