This campground has an amazing view of the lake, definitely a highlight. The campsites are big and there are only 9 of them, so it never feels crowded. The staff was really friendly. It is pretty close to the highway so the traffic noise wasn't great, just bring some earplugs!

nice campground, but keep in mind that parking is difficult, you can’t park next to your campsite there’s a parking lot, if you are in campsite 1-3 it’s easier, but if you’re in any other site you have to go up steep stairs & then a steep incline, so expect a workout carrying heavy loads equipment up & down & even just walking yourself. other then that the campsite has a great view & a little beach across the street. camp host and other campers are great & the bathroom is nice & kept up with & had cell service (i use at&t)

Great place to camp! It is right next to the road, so you get that noise. But it is a small campground, so it doesn't get very crowded. And you can see the lake from camp (at least where we stayed - site #1). There is a dock you can walk out onto the lake, which was nice for stargazing at night and sunrise. The camp has everything you need - bear box, fire pit, and picnic table. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We did see a bear come through many camps looking for food. The hosts came by right away telling us to put food away and trying to scare it off with airhorns. That was exciting! But remember to use the bear box! Bathrooms were clean, and there is a sink and flush toilet in one. Not a far walk to site 1 from the parking lot.

Nice location, VERY close to the lake, though this also means very close to the road. We were in space 8 which meant hauling all our gear up the stairs and back a ways. It was kind of sloped and with the road noise, not the best sleep.
Super friendly host and great location for exploring Lake Tahoe.
We did see a momma bear and cub trying to get in our car at the parking lot. Take bear precautions seriously.

The campground is very nice, although the walk up the 27 stairs was a haul with our gear. This is also something to keep in mind if you need to use the restroom during the night.

This is a great campground in a quiet area on the westside of the lake. The camp hosts are extremely friendly and there is ample parking with clean bathroom access. They have secure bear boxes and very clean/roomy campsites. I loved waking up to the towering old growth trees and lake views. In the Fall, you'll have a great view of the moon over the lake when you walk across the road. There's a picnic table and bench to sit and relax - enjoy a meal by the lake. The campsites also have a great big picnic table for all your fine cuisine needs. If you need to gas up or run to the grocery, Tahoe City is very close by. There's also a market nearby with an amazing coffee shop and eco-friendly essentials. Highly recommend!
