Our campsite had plenty of space and was quiet despite being wedged between a couple neighborhoods.

Great location at Lake Tahoe, near Tahoe City. Many things to do: Truckee River, Lake Tahoe, rafting, bike riding, fishing, shopping, many places to eat and drink. Campground is neat and clean but you have to dry camp.

The bathroom next to my site was not working and I didn't know that in advance. It is in a good location and close to beach. People who work there were friendly and helpful.

Our neighbors partied all night long for multiple nights and camp hosts did nothing to stop it. We will never go back.

Beautiful campground! We were there for a week and enjoyed every moment. Spacious site, close to bike trail along the lake, convenient location. The only negative comment can’t really be helped. Campground was there first, but it sure would be nice if the roads were a tad wider in places. Towing an RV through the campground must be done carefully! There are no lights in the restrooms and no showers. Just mentioning as a heads up if going there. That would not stop us from going back.

Very nice campground. Accessible, close to boat rental, bike rental, and restaurant, right next to the lake.
Good number of restrooms and water outlets.
Helping staff. They checked in and hold the key for me as I got stuck in traffic reaching the campground.
Nice cabin, though it is not wood one lot of ventilation and lighting
Please note there are no showers. Also, note there are lights in restrooms.
