Very quite campground among the big pine trees. Limited internet even though you have 5G. Two pit toilets with running water in the sink. Close to the lake and lots of good birding.

Great location for us! At 80+ years old our backpacking days are over but we still love the tent scene…we’ve had motor homes and assorted trailers but now prefer the simplicity of a nice quick setup tent and sitting around the camp fire at night reminiscing…that’s the cats meeoow to us. The campgrounds are clean, not too crowded and even the pit toilets were well maintained. Super friendly camp hosts too…It’s at the south end of the Truckee airport near Martis lake. We are aviation fans so There is lots of biz jet, helicopter and private plane traffic which we like to see. And early in the morning small tow planes launch hi-tech gliders overhead that silently soar the near by mountain ridges. It’s pretty cool! You can charter a site seeing trip for a bird’s eye view and see all the world class skiing resorts that Tahoe has to offer in less than an hour’s flight time…And avoid the car traffic that is inevitable in this world class location. The icing on the cake is that it’s 5 minutes from downtown Truckee and four 5 star restaurants if that’s your bag. Truckee has turned into an upper end resort town while maintaining its historic charm. Yes we know it’s more like glamping but the close by amenities make this campground a 5 star choice. Enjoy🤗👍

Special gem with bird watching along with great trails. Love the fact it is part of a land preserve.

Beautiful area with great trails, some paved or gravel. Planes and jets take off directly overhead and are loud between 10 am and 5 pm, intermittently.

Nice campground with nice views of the meadows above the lake. It would have been perfect if we did not have campers with generators on both sides of us, one of which ran it all day. They did turn it off during quiet hours but was still a bit much.

It is a nice little campground with spacious campsites. I tried site 23 this time and it was nice but did have full sun on the RV late morning until about 3 pm. After that the shade is great.
