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!

We love this campground for the beauty of the area and the nice sites. We also appreciate how hard the staff works to keep the bathrooms clean!

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!

$44 for the site for one night was too much. The restrooms were filthy and there was no soap or paper towels in any of them. Noro Virus is a real problem and by not having soap available you are asking for an outbreak and the spread of the virus.
