This was a fantastic location! So beautiful and you could walk right across the road to the water. It was perfect for sunrise as well being on the West side of the lake. Simple campground - but that's all you need somewhere like Tahoe.

Great place for a long weekend if you don’t mind the road noise. We were at a ‘lower’ campsite, so the road is right there but we did not have to take the stairs, so it was a trade off. Very friendly camp host. Easy access to the bike path on the shore, a public access dock, some shoreline that doesn’t quite feel like ‘beach’ but can fit a towel. A great public beach about a mile north. Barker Pass road is right there and goes back to a huge trail system.

This is a nice small campground. Sites 1,2,3 are practically on the road but have a very close view of the lake. We stayed in site 4. Sites 4 and 5 are very close together. You never know if you have loud or quiet respectful neighbors. There was a large group of people staying in Site 5 so I was worried it would be too loud because I am sensitive to sound, luckily they were very respectful and loud. Site 4 and 5 have a nice view of the lake. Site 4 has a nice little side trail leading down to the bathroom and parking lot. For sites 5-9 you have to go down the stairs to get to the parking lot and the bathroom, it’s really not that much longer but having that direct path from 4 was nice because then we didn’t have to walk by other campsites and disturb people every time we went by. 4 and 5 are right next to houses and are separated by a little fence, this was fine but I am just sharing that if you want to feel like you are out camping away from civilization you wont feel like it here.
Sites 7 and 8 looked very close together. 6 was a little farther up from the stairs and 9 was furthest from the stairs. Most people probably know that when you want to select a site to reserve, the campsites on the map are not always to scale as far as how close in proximity they are to each other which is why I am trying to explain each site as best as I can. All had a lake view. I believe 6 and 9 had less of a view, but I didn’t go back to them to look because they were occupied. Beware, you are so close to the lake so the view is great, you are also close to the road so the car noise is loud and pretty constant. I knew that would be the case so I won’t give this campground a bad review because of that - you just have to know what to expect when coming here. Great view, close proximity to lake, and close proximity to cars. Across the road there is a dock you can walk out on which is cool. One bathroom has a sink with running water water which was great.

Campsite lines were a little hard to see in the dark.

Camping was an incredible experience! This particular campsite was fantastic, located just across the street from the lake that provided breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. There were numerous hiking trails nearby, perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings and immersing ourselves in nature.

The site itself was well-maintained, and I appreciated how clean it was. The restrooms were conveniently located and, while they weren't exactly luxurious, they were manageable and typically tidy. After all, we are camping, so one should have realistic expectations about amenities!

I also want to remind fellow campers and tourists to please keep your area tidy and respect the natural environment. It’s essential to leave nothing behind and appreciate the beauty around us. Additionally, I urge everyone to refrain from smoking. Being considerate of your neighbors is crucial, as we all share this lovely planet together. Let’s do our part to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone!

DON'T SMOKE!! !!!

We were sandwiched between two groups of way more than 6 people at each site and one group had a dog off leash the whole time. I wish the host would have intervened.
