This was our first time visiting this campground, and we absolutely loved it! Itβs on the smaller side, but very well maintained. The host was warm and welcoming, and firewood is available to purchase on-site. There are plenty of water spigots throughout the campgroundβgreat for filling your RVβs fresh tank or collecting water if youβre tent camping.
Bathrooms were impressively clean, and there are several hiking trails you can access right from the campground. Keep in mind that the elevation is quite high, so give yourself a little time to acclimate when you arrive. The higher elevation also means cooler weather, which was a nice bonus.
We loved our campsite and the overall experienceβdefinitely planning a return trip!
Quick tip: If youβre coming up from Incline Village, the right-hand turn off the highway into the campground is very sharp. Be extra cautious if youβre towing a travel trailer or driving a large RV. As you get close, slow down and keep an eye out for the turnoffβitβs easy to miss.
Happy camping!

This is an excellent little campground. After camping there I understand why it is booked most of the time. It was very clean, loved the campsite with the large pad with 2 picknick tables and paved parking spots. The host was very helpful and friendly.

We come every year with 5-7 teardrop trailers. we always have a great time as in the heat of summer, it is 20 degrees cooler than Reno.
