What Guests Are Saying
Alpine Meadow Campground offers a quiet and well-maintained environment with spacious campsites, making it a great choice for those exploring the Tahoe/Truckee area. Many visitors praised the cleanliness of the facilities and the helpfulness of the host. However, caution is advised regarding potential health concerns from tall grass, and some noise from nearby trains and the airport may be an issue for light sleepers.

Amazing campsite with amazing views. The only problem was the airport, when we were visiting around 1-3 am we heard airplanes taking off. We were really surprised not to hear the highway, but it was relatively quiet. The overall campsite was really nice, you are spaced away from everyone and it is really quiet. The lake is also phenomenal, as we were fishing, which was unsuccessful , we saw a hawk dive into the lake. Overall this campsite was awesome, definitely plan on returning, and defiantly recommend.

I am a return visitor & really like this campground, but It was very, very hot! I ended up driving down to the Truckee Regional Park & parked as close to the river as I could until evening. My campsite happened to have zero shade in the afternoon & little Martis Lake, near there, has no trees by the beaches. I took my big, black dog there anyway to let him cool off, but I won't ever reserve a campsite there again- that doesn’t have shade when it’s so incredibly hot.

I loved this place. Beautiful setting in the pines. Small lake nearby. Beware though, it's close to the area's regional airport. There will be some jet and prop airplane noise. I'm a professional pilot, so it was music to my ears but, you may not feel the same way.
