Easy late check-in, nicely managed sites. My favorite handle among all the bear vaults we used during the trip. William Kent Beach is pretty small and limited, but you're not too far from some decent hikes.

Very beautiful campsite! Be sure to put your food in the bear box because bears frequent the campsite, along with other wildlife!

Site 037 is a great location, next to the bathrooms great amount of shade. Loved our stay here they had awesome host and very helpful. This camp site is literally across the street from a mini market, restaurant and the beach! And it’s only 5 minutes away drive from the nearest little town! Loved our stay here will go back.

Had a good time! Proximity to lake and Truckee river. The camp hosts very picky about dogs barking or kids playing making noise even during day time.

After hours check in clear and smooth, excellent location, clean campsites and bear boxes. Saw a bear so definitely happy to have to box! Bathrooms well maintained but a little far apart from each other.

Be sure to bring ear plugs as trailers and caravans are allowed to run their noisy generators from 7 am until 10 pm Some people run them continuously. Kind of takes the fun out of camping
