Stunning site. It’s quiet and - for beginners like me - an excellent place to still have close access to groceries, restaurants, and coffee shops if desired.
There’s so much natural beauty around with Truckee, Tahoe, and the Sierras but we unexpectedly ended up enjoying our two nights mostly around the campground itself. This was a pleasant surprise, and a wonderful way to feel grounded where we were.

My favorite go-to semi-seclusion spot that has large expansive views with very few obstructions and people!
