William Kent Campground is paradise for those who love to camp. You're surrounded by the forest and it feels so far from any civilization. It's extremely peaceful. And yet, you walk out of the campground and you're at the lake with amenities like restaurants and a market. The west shore is the best shore. I would go back there every summer if I could.

Very nice campground just across the road and up a moderate hill from the Lake. Be advised that many of the campsites are limited in size so if you have both a vehicle and a trailer or RV, you may have to park your vehicle at the dirt lot near the entrance and walk up to your campsite. Strict rules that no tires can be off the pavement of each sites' spur. Bathrooms convenient and clean. Fire pits and picnic tables provided. We enjoyed and plan to return.

Great little campground in Tahoe. Our site did back up to a neighborhood, but the occupants of the home were great. If you are looking for a secluded spot, away from it all, this is not that place. If you are looking for a relatively quite place to take the family to get away for a couple days, this is the spot. My kids have already asked when we can go back?

The entire campground was very well maintained. The bathrooms were stocked and clean at all times. Close to stores but not too close that we lost the camping feel. Additionally, there is a market very near by

Great clean campground, the outer ring of campsites back up to neighborhood houses which is stranger. Overall nice campground.

Great place to enjoy summer days, my site (77) was spacious and had everything as described.
My only suggestion is that there could be showers for baths so everything would be more than perfect.
