This campground is very well-maintained. It's developed enough that it's very convenient (easy parking, leveled spot for your tent, picnic tables and fire rings, water spigots, bear lockers, firewood for sale, and vault toilets) β but it's also still very beautiful. The spots aren't too close together, although I definitely heard the neighboring kids playing.
Pro tip: walk to the front of the campground and head left onto the trailhead for a gentle 1.5 mi loop around a gorgeous meadow with a creek, wildflowers, and signs about the history and nature unique to this area. This loop connects to the Tahoe Rim Trail so you may see some backpackers. Be polite and say hello!
The host was very friendly and helpful. Dogs are allowed, which is wonderful, just be sure to keep them on leash. One camper let her dog go off and it tackled a nice old dog who was on-leash. It was very upsetting to watch. The host gave the negligent owner a warning.

This is such a great camping spot in Tahoe. It has access to so many amazing hikes, and it is one of the best well kept and clean campsites I have ever been to. The staff is super helpful, nice and very approachable. The campsites feel like they are hidden in the woods, and it is quiet with beautiful views. The toilets are kept clean and there is great running water.

Beautiful and well-kept campground on the summit of Mt. Rose. Cool temps were a welcome respite after our trek through the desert to get there! Took a nice hike on the interpretive loop from the campground.

Large clean site however you have to carry items up stairs to get to picnic tables, bear box and fire pit. Cell service with AT&T was very good at three bars of 5G. Very clean campground with excellent site host.

We drove down to Sand Harbor early to have a wonderful kayaking tour of beautiful Lake Tahoe. We also hiked up to Mt Rose. Exhilarating. The bathrooms and campsite were clean.

One of the cleanest campgrounds I've ever been to. Camp host is great! The only part I didn't like is how hard it is to get a site here.
