Beautiful view of the lake! Very cold in am. Green hills, and lots of bite flies. Very nice neighbors. Cute kids on bikes,
which seemed safe for the little ones. I will be back again!

Very quiet, well spaced apart camping spots. Total of 25 campsites. You hear the airport lear jets and planes coming, but by mid evening it is quiet. Fun to watch the planes and gliders as they come in and depart. Bathrooms are pit toilets, but well stocked and kept very clean. They also provide hand sanitizer in the bathrooms. Hiking and bike trails close by, as well as stores, restaurants and great walking and bike trail by the Truckee River.

Lovely campground with scattered trees overlooking the alpine meadow. Sites are nicely spaced but non-electric. Water is available at the entrance. No dump station. Convenient to Truckee, Donner Memorial State Park, & northwest shore of Lake Tahoe. Very close to Truckee airport (general aviation), & a meal at the Red Truck Cafe there was very good at a good price while watching the private planes take off & land. Hosts were friendly & helpful. I'll be back.

This campsite was adorable. Incredibly easy to get to and the sites are clearly labeled. The area is gorgeous and there is ample space between the sites to not feel like you're on top of everyone. The sunset was gorgeous and there was a surreal foggy landscape in the morning. We'll definitely be back.

Quiet campground with sites well spaced apart. Thin understory, mostly low brush, so limited privacy. Water spigots at several points around the campground but no site hookups. Conveniently close to a large grocery store and to Truckee.

Campground located in a beautiful location with a gravel road leading to Martis Creek Lake. The airport is nearby so noise from planes can be heard. Bathrooms were clean but dated.

Quiet and clean campground. Large camp sites. Running water on bathrooms- although pit toilets. Water also provided for drinking was really good as well.

I love this campground! It is very peaceful. The camp hosts are very nice to deal with and very helpful. A couple things to know is that this is NOT a swimming lake and NOT for any kind of gas powered boats. Be sure to go see Donner Lake and museum of the Donner Party.
