Nice location near Lake Tahoe. Clean facilities. Too close to residential neighbors. One ran their power equipment late into the night!

The campground and its location are always wonderful to visit. I found the sites were not nearly as well kept up as they were in the past. The former Camp Host kept it much cleaner. The bathrooms were clean, three times a day, however, several of the toilets were leaking. The sites themselves have a lot of micro plastic and debris which a former host would be on top of.

Clean campgrounds and restrooms. Our campsite was close to two restrooms and water source. The site was level and easy to access.

Great location. Barb at the front gate was very pleasant and helpful. We loved being able to walk to Sunny side restaurant and the walking and biking trail along the lake.
