Small campground with ample space for privacy between campsites. The town of Truckee, and grocery and hardware stores are just a few minutes away. Short drive of 15-20 minutes from Kings Beach, the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Good phone and internet reception.

In talking with Park Staff, it is truly a hidden gem. Always a pleasure to stay there!

Great campground. Sites are spaced far enough apart so that you do have a little privacy. Great hikes in the area.

Beautiful dry camping campground. Sites are clean and nicely maintained, fire ring and picnic table. Spaced far enough apart too you are not in top of neighbors. Private jets flying over on Sat morning can be loud but only drawback.

We camped 5 nights in a 29' RV, it was very pretty, quiet, and close to Truckee. I love aircraft, so being close to the airport was a plus, but some may not like the sound. The lake was low, but very pretty, and lots of trails to hike and bike.

We went late in the season. The campground was nice, clean, and quiet. The bathrooms were clean but stunk really badly. I’m not sure what the smell was but it was awful! Otherwise I’d give this place a 5 star.

No walking trails from campground making it necessary to drive down to lake. Could use a remake to make it more recreationally friendly.

Great mountain getaway at about 6200' elevation. Airplane noise is fairly loud most of the day but it is super quiet from 9pm to 6:30am. Fun to watch the gliders being pulled. Camp host is around but never made contact. I guess that is good. Campgrounds were nice and clean. Bathrooms were clean but very stinky primarily due to a tiny flue venting three potties. Otherwise it was nice to have mountain weather.
