It was a stop over on our way home and we thought the campground was lovely. Our only complaint was the 2 o clock check in, because it was a Sunday and we wanted to be able to leave our trailer there so we could check out downtown Truckee.

Watching the glider soar above was unique. Interesting location in the meadow near the airport. Pit toilets stink the worst here.

I have been coming here for the past 15 years and it is my favorite campground in the area. Easy acres to town and the Truckee River but just far enough to have a quite night under the stars.

On a warm day, Alpine Meadows Campground offers cool shade amidst mighty ponderosa pine grove. Well-designed and well-maintained facility conveniently located on the outskirt of Truckee.

Bathrooms and camp ground very clean. Some sites don’t have much between the sites for privacy but they’re far enough away. Large sites with lots of flat ground for tent camping.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
