Mt. Rose Campground is the best campground I have camped at. Small and quiet and lovely. Host Andrew takes personal pride in his work. The bathrooms are cleaned every morning and he rechecks later in the day to restock. He is personable to talk with and very helpful. The sites are spread out farther than normal campground sites. The sites are paved with cement so no dirt in the shoes or sandals! He works at keeping up with removing any grease stains on the cement or tables. They were remodeled 10 yeasrs ago, but look like new. Big tables, large firepit and a post to put your stove or grill. Only 21 sites plus a few walk-ins. Campground along the Tahoe Rim Trail, so through hikers come in for one night in the walk-in and first come first serve sites. Can't wait to return

Gorgeous campground, plenty of space between spaces. Only downside is no dump station on the mountain.

From start to finish, our 2-night stay in Mount Rose left us wishing we had stayed the whole week. It’s proximity to Lake Tahoe was excellent, it was quiet and held a pleasant crowd who kept to themselves. The grounds were scenic, clean and allowed for some privacy in an open-air setting. The bear boxes were a great touch and the bathrooms were clean and well-kept. The only inconvenience was the lack of showers but it didn’t bother us all that much!
