We booked at loop 3 camp ground. What we didn’t realized was it is right next to the street, therefore quite noisy, there are also no showers at the grounds. There is also a wood working factory close by and it was super loud starting in the morning hours. We booked 4 nights and left after the first. We reached out to retrieve our money invested and they denied the request.

We love the location for family! The prices are too far beyond reasonable for the accommodations, but we try to look beyond that just to be together.
* New floors help to keep the rooms clean.
* Kitchens are very sparse.
* Living room doesn't have side tables.
* No dish pan
* No kitchen workspace

We stayed here for 2 nights in the tent section. This is an overcrowded noisy unpleasant campground with no space/privacy between campsites designed for urban cityfolk that wouldn't know any better. Each campsite is crammed into the next so you are on top of each other (more like one giant campsite you are sharing). The campground is situated right next to the busy main road around Lake Tahoe so your tent shakes with the loud noise of every passing vehicle. The rules regarding noise after 10pm are not enforced so it is loud & uncomfortable long into the night. The rules pertaining to max amount of campers per site is also not enforced, there were over 20 people at campsites on either side of us. All rules pertaining to normal campground etiquette & common sense are ignored at this site. Campsites were not posted with reservation information and the camp hosts ran out of firewood to provide. Camp hosts were non existent to enforce or engage with any guests. The only positive is that you can walk to the lake but you would be better suited to stay at proper campground and drive to a day use lake lot. Not being familiar with camping in this area of the Sierra & also due to lack of avail we made the mistake of camping here. If you are a true outdoorsman and nature lover looking for some peace and tranquility in nature I would recommend avoiding this campsite.

Sites are too closed to one another. The noise from car passing is loud especially at night.

- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
