The location of the campground was outstanding. Being near the lake, but not too near the busiest areas was a plus. We were able to launch our kayaks, ride our bikes, go to dinner at Sunnyside Restaurant, play pickle ball at nearby Kilne Park, and sit on the pebbled beach; all attractions being within easy walking and biking distance. Being a mile south of the busy Tahoe City center made for a relaxing experience. The campground itself was well-kept and pleasant. The only negative we can think of is that about a third of the campsites were too close (within full view) to neighborhood homes. We recommend you book campsites in the lower half and interior areas to avoid looking at the side of someone's house.

Good Campground. RV dump is available. But when host is not available in the morning, no place to pay, especially when leaving early morning. Other than that, everything is good. Best campground that close to the lake.

Roads in the park are narrow and the campground is surrounded by houses. That said it was wonderful! Well maintained, camp host extremely friendly, big trees, quiet, can walk to Tahoe city, the bike trail, market and restaurants. We will be back

The campground was extremely clean and run very well. The campground hosts were exceptional in doing their job and made the experience wonderful. Campground convenient to Tahoe City, restaurants, the bike trail, and beach.

Loved the campground. Our site had a lot of room, and it’s in walking distance to the lake and cafe/store. There is water for washing dishes close by.
