The staff at the campground are wonderful, the location is excellent, and the campsites are spacious and well maintained. The only downside is the amount of people on the area. I imagine that most people that come to the Lake Tahoe area are aware that it is a very popular area. If you are prepared to be around a lot of people, this is an excellent campground.

Had site 90. Great site with lots of space between campsites. Lovely peaceful lake so nearby. The only downside I would have to say is the shower…. The token is for three minutes. But I shower pretty fast and I had soap and shampoo still all over. I felt like it was maybe two minutes at most. Campground itself was great. Oh! Please please please do something about the road leading to the campground. It’s AWFUL!!

Great campsite. Would have liked to have stayed longer. Close to bathroom. Only drawback was it was close to the next campsite.

We stayed at #113 for 4 nights and the site has pretty good privacy and it was close to the restroom. The restroom was very clean and you can tell the someone cleans it every morning. The camp host was very close to our site which makes us feel safe with the bear and our camping equipment. The shower facility was a little further than I like but it was also clean and roomy not like others you just get a stall.
No laundry on site but there is so many of them less than 10 minutes drive from campground. No dish washing station, so bring extra pan to wash your dish at your camp site.
Other than the above mentioned, Lake Tahoe is just so nice to visit and so beautiful. All we did was going to the beach relax and watch kids play in water.

We were greeted by great park staff at check in. They advised us of current bear activity. So we put our open foods in the Bear box overnight, we could hear the bears banging around late at night in the Campground. The park is well kept. We got another ranger tip the next day about a trail to the Lake, the view was amazing!

Great, clean campground! We were there for one night and saw two bears in the first couple hours, other campers were great scaring them away and everyone seemed to be keeping very clean camps, which we love to see in bear country!
