Great campground with quick access down to Lake Tahoe. The road down is steep. You'll have road noise at camp, but the sites are nicely spaced out and everything was very clean.

Such a good campsite. Was expecting it to be a typical barebones site but the sites are so well maintained. Plus you are right next to the trailhead for Mt. Rose and the TRT
