The host is super professional and friendly to people. We found a clean campsite and a clean bathroom.
He was always present at the site to address any questions or emergencies involving bears and other wildlife.

Good location, easy access to Little town, but I don’t like the idea of camping in someone’s backyard. Our campsite backed up to Homes and their backyard. In fact a lot of them did.

We stayed for 9 nights, 5 in sure 74 which was awesome and another 4 in site 14 which required a bit more setup for our 31’ MH. We had to split our stay due to weekend availability of site 74, the folks that reserved it did not show or cancel. Dumpstation was easily accessible without blocking traffic, but water tank refill held up traffic. Campground was quiet, we really enjoyed the trees and a small beach yo stare across the lake.

First time here. Camp Host / Management top notch. Tahoe is a heavily visited lake, and yet much of the campground feels away from the busy lake activity. However, its also easy reach of bike trails, shopping and dining if you like. Will return again if lucky enough to find an open site next year.

We camped in August and September. August was a bit noisy in places but September was peaceful. If you have a larger rig you need to read the maximum length accommodations.
There are wonderful restaurants within a very short walk. Sunnyside and The Fire Sign. As well as a small but beautiful beach. The camp hosts were great. Very accessible and willing to help.
