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.

Beautiful campground. The female ranger cleaned the bathroom really well and kept supplied with toilet tissue and paper towels. Waved as she walked by us.
The road getting here needs some serious repairs; COE is better than that.
Thanks for an enjoyable stay . Charles.

Nice small campsite. Clean and nicely spaced campsites. It is near the airport but I was not bothered by the odd plane taking off.

Our campsite #16 was spacious enough for our 10 person tent. We appreciated the fire pit with the grate, the pole with the hook which we used for our lantern, and the bear locker for our food! There was a clear path to the restrooms and everyone was courteous. We could see and hear people in other campsites but still felt like we had privacy!
