What Guests Are Saying

Alpine Meadow Campground is a quiet and well-maintained site with beautiful surroundings, spacious campsites, and close proximity to Truckee and Lake Tahoe. Many visitors appreciate the clean facilities, friendly camp hosts, and access to scenic trails and a small lake. While some noise from the nearby airport and occasional maintenance issues with the bathrooms were noted, the overall experience remains positive, making it a favored spot for campers.

SmallCG near Truckee. Sites mostly sunny. Bathrooms could use more maintenance by hosts as they seem to only supply paper goods with no cleaning
Would return

Great camp spot. Wish my site was a pull in spot not side of the road, but that’s on me.
Bathroom could have been slightly cleaner. But I’ve seen worse.

LOVED camping here. Quiet, campsites spaced well apart. Lots of nice walks and a gorgeous amphitheatre in the center of the campground. I took me a while to find the potable water faucets lol... but there are plenty around the campground. Gets COLD at night! Close to town and a fantastic Raleys Organic supermarket.

The campsites vary from great to bleak (no shade). I posted pictures of every campsite in this nice little campground on Google, etc. I have been there twice including last summer and then three summers ago. I seem to be immune but my friend was affected on both visits by something in the grass (Lymes Disease or whatever) that causes her to have serious red sores lasting for a long time (months) after walking thru the tall grass.

As a safety precaution I would recommend NOT leaving the paved trails in case you are not immune to whatever microbial critters are living on/in that grass. I avoided taking shortcuts to get water, etc. and never was affected.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
