Beautiful area. Mosquitoes were really bad. Bring mosquito nets and screen tents.

Sites are nice but not level for motorhomes. I found only sites 2 and 4 were good. I was glad to move to #2 even losing one night was worth it. I found it colder than Lakeside Truckee which surprised me for being there in the middle of June. Days are warm but nights were down to 47.

Everything was good but the parking. There needs to be more room for vehicles. No running water was nearby but the campsites were well done with excellent shade.

Not much going on in camp but a great central location for day hikes and a visit to Lake Tahoe.

Enjoy kayaking at Caples and Silver Lakes. Blue Lakes are small and better for swimming.

Fine experience; excellent host; clean sites and pit potties. Only problem, camp sites showing Reserved, and then no one arriving so many good sites sat empty.
