Alpine Meadow Campground

As always our stay at Alpine Meadows campground was relaxing and very enjoyable. I did rain quite a bit of the time but is to be expected in the fall. The facilities were clean and trash bin secured from wildlife and clean. You do have to make reservations and even in early October the campground was almost full.

Good amount of space in the site and driveway relative to our expectations from the photos. Our site had more than one flat spot for tents, which was helpful. No good spots for a hammock in this particular site, but there could have been a spot across the loop road or in some of the other sites. Nice to have a water available throughout the campground, as well as a sink with running water in the restroom. There was low-medium level noise from the airport, highway, and train, but that's to be expected based on a quick look at the map. Not your place for a true wilderness experience, but on the other hand a convenient location relative to town.

Beautiful area. Nice campground. Horrible speed bumps. However we would happily stay again.

Clean, asphalt parking, easy leveling, goos stars, quiet.

The host was exceptional. Cleanest camp sites and restrooms we have ever seen. Very friendly and helpful. Beautiful campground and Lake.

Great location for exploring northern Lake Tahoe area.

Only concern I have was the Camp Host was never around, as their sign say Off Duty for the time we were there. We had no issues, because it was more of an off season with few campers. Bathrooms were clean except the ladies faucet in the sink ran and over flowed if it wasn't turned off all the way. We enjoy the quietness of not hearing road noise. We enjoy the lear jets and Cesena planes that fly over to land at the airport.

Mid-week late in the season, it was a lovely place to stay. The pull-through at site 13 is a widening in the road and probably not wide enough for slide outs but plenty for a pop-up trailer. The view from the campsite takes in the dam, meadow, and lake. Just across the dam is the entrance to the Waddell Ranch Preserve, popular for hiking and mountain biking.

Clean, asphalt, pretty level and spaced out nicely.

This campground is a great place to stay if you are in the Tahoe/Truckee area. It is conveniently located close to Truckee off highway 267 which runs over Brockway Summit to Kings Beach on the northern shores of Tahoe. There are a number of great trails in the area or within a short drive from the campground.

However, it is also located adjacent to the Truckee airport as well as the train tracks. I was awakened by a trains horns at 6:45 followed by a jet taking off at 7am. Though the restrooms were clean, they looked a bit worn down.
