The campsite was a perfect distance from Tahoe City so that we could bike into town and back in about 15-20 minutes on the bike path. Across the street from he campsite was great little opening to the lake for morning dips. The most notable part of the experience was the friendly and helpful campsite hosts!

Great camping spot. Short walk to lake. Clean facilities and sites. Is in a small community so houses nearby. Can be heard but not really seen.

Very experienced professional camp hosts. Camp well organized.
Bad that open pit camp fires allowed in Tahoe Basin. Just criminal foolish.

Great place to take our RV. Love the wooded surroundings and clean camp ground. The restroom we used was definitely clean, even for a camp ground. Also loved being directly across from Sunny Side Restaurant

Despite being adjacent to some businesses, this is a very quiet nice place to camp. Very convenient too.
