Nice shadowy place, clean restrooms. The beach was very small and therefor crowded, so prepare to drive to another beach

We had many family members camping throughout William Kent camp ground this summer. The camp sites were very generous in size and the many bathrooms were always clean. Special shout out to camp hosts, Michelle, Rick, & Ed, who were all fantastic! Will return in the future. Thank you.

Super beautiful clean campground. The woods are so beautiful and the sites are big so you won’t feel crowded at all. Bathrooms are clean and well taken care of. A very good stay and we’ll definitely come back.

During our stay at this campground, we enjoyed so many things! The camp hosts were exceptional - friendly, able to answer questions, and even chased off a bear 🐻. The camp was very clean and peaceful even when full of campers.
We loved every moment!!!

Overall great experience! Very welcoming and friendly camp hosts. The site was clean and well kept. You can purchase firewood at check-in. The bathrooms and water refill stations are very convenient. Each site has a bear locker for food. We were told there was lots of bear activity but didn’t see any while we were there! There is a small beach access across the street but it’s mostly rocky. We did bike rentals down the street and rode along the truckee river. There’s a few cafes nearby for quick breakfast!

We love this campground. Always feel lucky to be able to get a reservation here during the summer. The two different camp hosts on site during this stay were awesome. Friendly, helpful and good conversation. There is no shortage of great things to do nearby.
