The campground is located in a very beautiful meadow with a fantastic view of snow-clad mountains. However, the serenity was rather frequently interrupted by passing aircraft (jets, helicopters, crop-dusters) due to the proximity to the Truckee airport; it wasn't too annoying, but did hinder the sense of the wilderness - the only reason for the 4 stars. The sites are very affordable and well-maintained, potable water is close and readily available; firewood is accessible, restrooms are stocked and are as clean as a vault toilet can get. There was no soap though, so don't forget to bring your own one.

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.

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

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.
