Excellent site layouts and camp hosts, campground is tight to the neighborhood so it does feel a bit like you're in someone's backyard.

Convenient location, beach, store, rental locations all right outside the campground. Great hosts - firewood for sale yes - Very poor/ no Verizon or ATT network.
Active juvenile bear in the area right now - we saw it in the evening roaming around at the campsites with many people around so be aware...
all sites on the periphery share a fence with houses so not so intimate a camping experience but thats what you should expect for being so close to amenities i guess in Tahoe area :)

Convenient location for biking, restaurants, rafting, lake access. Surrounded by residences but looks woodsy. RV dump location poor, traffic can be blocked.
