This is a lovely, local campground, and the camp hosts are FANTASTIC. Andrew Connectt & Ashley keep the sites and the restrooms immaculate. Hope that they return next year. We have one complaint, & that is that Rec.gov needs to enforce the access to handicapped sites & not allow non-handicapped people use them. Specifically, site #12 at Mount Rose. Hopefully handicapped signs & numbers will be required information on the Rec.gov website when people choose a camp spot. I am handicapped & have had difficulty with this. Thank you.

Beautiful mountain top location with easy access to hike to the Galena waterfalls or up to Mt. Rose summit....in addition to a number of trails that can be quieter, with fewer people. Views of Lake Tahoe on nearby trails. The campground itself was well maintained, as were the rest rooms. Campground hosts were polite and had firewood stacked, available to those who want a campfire at night. Reservations are necessary for many nights - especially weekends or holidays. The hike in tent sites have some of the best views. Highly recommend.

Great stay at this favorite campsite. Host is friendly but not obtrusive and does an absolutely fantastic job of keeping the restrooms clean.

Very nice campground- well maintained. My site was down several steps from the parking space for my RV. That was a bit awkward. It was too hot for a campfire, but this fire ring did not have a rack top for cooking. There was a separate grill tho.

Perfect other then the one or two folks who feel the need to run their generators right up to 10pm. It be nice if we can have quiet time from 8-10 to enjoy the amazing peacefulness of the wilderness.
