Spaces where too small to fit in, the trees are overgrown into the roadway and parking areas which will scratch up your RV.
We couldn't get through the campground or into our space without damaging our RV so we couldn't stay there, then the park service refused to refund our money for spaces we couldn't use.
VERY TIGHT TURNS AND NARROW ROAD. ONLY GOOD FOR CARS AND TENTS.

Great camping just a few miles from Tahoe City. The campground is just a short walk from the lake. We saw a couple of bears during our visit 🐻.

The staff at this campground is awesome. Especially Judy. She took the time to return my phone calls and helped us secure a site.

Beautiful campground by Lake Tahoe with walkable distance to the beach and stores. The campground was a bit busy, lots of campers. It is also frequented by bears who are non-aggressive towards people, but very determined to get any food. A mama bear with her cubs, interrupted our neighbors dinner, and took their food! We had to remain hypervigilant anytime we ate. All food must be secured in the bear lockers at all times! The bears visited the sites nightly.

Clean and beautiful campground. Good amount of space between sites to feel far enough away. Bathroom facilities were well taken care of. It’s definitely bear country so be aware and smart! 065 is meant for two vehicles, but we were able to have our van with canopy open comfortably. Across the street from a beach (no sand, mostly pebbles and rocks) that you can launch paddle boards and what not. Would definitely come back again!

the camp site is big, clean, close to Tahoe city.
Cons: Almost no public beach walkable. No lights in restrooms.

The hosts were great, grounds clean and location exceptional. My concern is numerous campsites had more than 6 campers which creates more noise impacting our experience. One camp site had 11 campersWe have stayed here numerous times and would like to see campers per site strictly enforces.
