It would be great but there are to many noisy generators running and people blasting their music because I guess they think all their neighbors would like it.

Camp host was awesome! Spot was quiet and secluded. Felt safe and had a great time! Can’t wait to go back.

Gorgeous campground. Close to many great liking locations. Due to the elevation, it's much cooler than the Sacramento Valley and substantially cooler than other locations in the Sierra. The host was conscientious and helpful.

Gorgeous campground, very clean and well designed. Plenty of space between sites. We really enjoyed our double site, with no neighbors behind us.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable and friendly high-altitude campground. Superb trails for all levels of hikers can be reached from Mt Rose Campground. Very convenient location for attending the Shakespeare play at Sand Harbor

This is a fabulous RV/tent camp. The spaces are far apart and the camp is kept very clean. You can't find a better host than Mark. The location is perfect between Incline Village and Reno.

Nice cement pad for campsite. Was difficult to get reservations. Reserved signs throughout the campground on all the camp sites, yet only about 20 percent of us showed up to camp. Which made it nice for us. A big 5th wheel had a generator running all day, allowed, but if you need to escape noise pollution, not the best place. The meadows and trails were breathtaking beautiful, and high elevation, though makes hiking a little harder, made for a very cool night.
