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.

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.

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.
