Great campground for exploring the west shore of Tahoe. Fantastic bike paths. We rode 64 miles over a period of 3 days.

We were at campsite 54; the campground was nice and not dusty. However, we were unable to use the fire pit to grill food as it was too high off the ground but we had a pan to make it work. The lady’s room did not have running water but had a water spout not far. Overall good experience and would go back.

Nice camp hosts, very friendly! We didn't get to stay long but had a nice time here. We did have a bear come through during the evening but it ran off pretty quick. Some RVs had trouble backing into the spots, it can definitely be a little difficult. There is enough space for a couple tents per site. Very peaceful!

Campground is kept clean and the hosts are very friendly. We would give 5 stars if there were showers. Close to grocery, dining, bike rentals and bike paths.

The campground was really clean, including the sites themselves and the bathrooms. Even though the campground is in the middle of a housing development, there is shielding and screening between most of the campsites in the surrounding homes. It was very quiet.
The hosts were charming and very hospitable. They gave us great suggestions for where to go dine and recreate around Tahoe City.
We will be back!
