Stayed for just one night. The host is very nice ! Took a star off because it’s next to the boat storage lot and woke up to the metal banging sounds in the morning. It sounded frightful

We got spot 45,46 and 47 all the spot were big and spacious lots of room for more than just three tents lots of trees if you don’t like the sun but enough open air to see the start and get some sun in the morning, would def get this spot again if you wish to explore the north of Lake Tahoe don’t get it if your trying to stay near emerald bay or South Lake Tahoe it’s around 45 mins or farther

We enjoyed spending 4 days at this campsite. It was very close to William Kent beach, walking distance, as well as to a lot of bars and restaurants. The campsite was well kept and the hostesses, Lori and Judi with her cat Leo, were beyond friendly and a pleasure to chat with. We will definitely be back! ☺️
