Perfect location for camping, very quiet area through out the night & only about 30mins from Lake Tahoe. Majority of the campsites have the perfect amount of shade & sun through out the day. & Martis creek is a short walking distance away, saw plenty of people out there fishing as well.

We have loved this campground for many years now. Our only complaint over the years and it still is a complaint is the condition of the main access road from the highway and then the mogul-like immediate entry into the campground. You get the feeling that your microwave is going to come crashing down on your stove. We’ve complained about this before but nothing ever changes.

Very quiet campground. Pit toilets and yet they clean them daily. Actually need to be upgraded, but glad they are kept clean. Close to Truckee airport,
but planes do not fly at night. Fun watching lear jets fly over , as well as planes pulling gliders. Nice campground off the beaten path. Enjoy staying her as you cannot hear road noise.

Very nice campground. Small and quiet. Air traffic noise is very minimal. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the sink gooseneck in the Mens restroom wasn’t sealed and every time you washed your hands, water would come out underneath the sink and go everywhere. I’m sure it will be fixed soon. Hoping ti come back soon.

We have always really enjoyed this campground, but this last trip, it doesn't appear that the campground is maintained as well as it has been in the past. The bathrooms were very dirty, and they are usually pretty clean. We have also seen troops there helping to maintain the pine needles, but didn't appear that has been done in quite some time. Maybe things have changed? Don't have anyone to do maintenance? But overall, nice quiet campground.

Loved this campground! Sites are big and lots of pull throughs for a trailer if you need it. I had enough service to stream HBO max on my phone (just for reference on how much service you can get) - AT&T

We like everything about the campground except for the really terrible access road and then the even worse entry Road where the circle completes itself that throws everything inside your rig all over the place.
