Great place to take our RV. Love the wooded surroundings and clean camp ground. The restroom we used was definitely clean, even for a camp ground. Also loved being directly across from Sunny Side Restaurant

Very experienced professional camp hosts. Camp well organized.
Bad that open pit camp fires allowed in Tahoe Basin. Just criminal foolish.

Great camping spot. Short walk to lake. Clean facilities and sites. Is in a small community so houses nearby. Can be heard but not really seen.

Great campground for glamping. Beautiful Lake Tahoe right across the street and perfect location to get on to the bike trails!
Close to Tahoe City and the restaurants there.

The campsite was a perfect distance from Tahoe City so that we could bike into town and back in about 15-20 minutes on the bike path. Across the street from he campsite was great little opening to the lake for morning dips. The most notable part of the experience was the friendly and helpful campsite hosts!

William Kent campground is in a great location. Cross the street and you are at the William Kent public beach. Crystal clear but cold Lake Tahoe waters will refresh you. Campground facilities are as described.
I‘d say the toilets could be serviced/cleaned more often as they apparently are.

The campground is pretty, foresty, close to town and walkable to the lake, but not right on it. It was mostly cleaned up, other campers were friendly. I was excited to book my visit for next year until the host made me leave or book an additional site because my second vehicle was a sprinter van and he said it was considered an RV. There were only two people staying in the camp spot, and we were sleeping in the airstream trailer. My sprinter doesn’t have hookups or shower or toilet so I’m not sure if it really should be considered an RV. After trying to nicely and calmly move explain to him I had bought the extra parking pass from him for the vehicle and have a conversation with him he directly told me “you burners think you can get away with everything, …” carried on having a one sided conversation with himself and explained to me he didn’t need to listen to me because he was “right”. I purchased another campsite because it wasn’t worth the $40 to argue with him and waste my time with someone that had already made up his mind about being right, not willing to listen, and discriminated against me because I go to burning man. I also asked for a refund of the parking I had paid for when I purchased the campsite and he refused to even continue a conversation. Honestly haven’t dealt with someone like that in a while. So yeah campsites great 8/10, hosts 2/10 - only reason they get 2 points was for being available and keeping the place cleaned up.
