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.

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.
