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

I did not know what to expect, but this campground blew my mind. Pristine campsites, cooler climate and wonderful staff are just some of the benefits of staying here. It’s a must!

Nice campground, really close to Lake Tahoe and Mount Rose. Lot‘s of privacy. 2 fire pits. And really clean. We enjoyed it a lot.

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

We've been visiting Mt Rose Campground for nearly 15 years. (Minus the years snow pack kept it closed. ) When we first started camping there, the road and campsites were dirt. The campground was remodeled and what they did was astounding. We find the campground has become super popular and it's a challenge to get a reservation .he campground sits about 8900' in elevation which makes it a cool (figuratively and actually) place to go in the summer. When the temps in the valleys are 100 degrees. The campground peaks in the high 70's or low 80's. The campground is clean with well maintained outhouses. The campground has had the same camp host as the previous years which has a direct relationship in the cleanliness of the grounds. (Great Job Guys!) The campground is ground zero for hiking and biking in the area with Mt Rose Meadow, Mt Rose Wilderness and the TRT access. I like Rose and hope everyone will stops going there.....

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.
