I stayed at this campsite for three nights, and it as always very clean. It is across the street from lake access and a general store which I found very fun and convenient. All of the camp hosts I interacted with were always kind and helpful.

Spacious campsite with multiple tent sites. About a 10 minute walk to the lake and lots of activities nearby. Friendly hosts with firewood available for purchase. A bit of a walk to the bathrooms but they were well kept and clean. Other sites are fairly close but not on top of yours. Despite being close to the residences they were hardly visible.

Spot 008 is legit. A short walk to the beach. Great atmosphere.

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.

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!
