This is a lovely, quiet campground. There is nice, easy access to the river from right across the road from the campground and other fun things to do nearby. The host was great and we hope to come back. This is a littl gem just off the beaten path from all the craziness of the Lake Tahoe basin campgrounds.

Been going there since the 1980's.. beautiful, peaceful, area that never fails to make me feel sad when I leave it.. close to the Blue lakes and tons of hiking and fishing for all ages. You will not be disappointed.

The facilities and campsites were very clean. The campsites have been recently refurbished with very nice tent pads, new bear boxes and tables, plus bbqs and a nice fire pit.
