The campsites vary from great to bleak (no shade). I posted pictures of every campsite in this nice little campground on Google, etc. I have been there twice including last summer and then three summers ago. I seem to be immune but my friend was affected on both visits by something in the grass (Lymes Disease or whatever) that causes her to have serious red sores lasting for a long time (months) after walking thru the tall grass.

As a safety precaution I would recommend NOT leaving the paved trails in case you are not immune to whatever microbial critters are living on/in that grass. I avoided taking shortcuts to get water, etc. and never was affected.

We were so happy to have found this campground. Matt was a great host and it was a quiet and clean place for us to park out 20 foot trailer for 10 days of bliss. Dog friendly and near Martis Lake, Truckee Legacy trail, Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake. Great location for us!! We biked and hiked and enjoyed a walk on the Lake Tahoe path just a short trip away. We’ll come back here whenever we can. It was wonderful.

Spots are far apart, quiet, clean, can walk to Martis Lake, or drive across to Martis Valley for a nice hike
