Campground was nice we had a great site #23. Bathrooms were in dire need of cleaning of cobwebs. The road into the campground and portions of the loop are a disaster. I can’t believe you can’t find the funds to at least chipseal the road.

This is one of my favorites! So quiet and peaceful. Good kayaking in Martis Lake next door. I’ll be bringing my own drinking water next time, though. The water tastes horrible which is strange because Truckee has great tasting tap water.

I visited Alpine Meadow in mid September and mid week. There were very few visitors in the campground. The sites are mostly level and well maintained. It is a short walk to Martis Lake and some trails around the lake. Very quiet for being so close to Truckee.

Great quiet camping spot! There are only 25 sites and it was well spread out so it didn’t feel crowded at all. We really felt like we were in the wild but also such a short way from Truckee downtown which was great for dinner one night and to go to the store. The facilities are pretty minimal with vault toilets and only running water for hand washing and refilling water bottles. The airport is quite close as well so we did hear some airplane noise during the day but nothing at night so it wasn’t really disruptive. Close to some amazing hikes above Tahoe and Donner Lakes. We saw no bears which was great! We previously have camped in South Lake tahoe but it’s very crowded and noisy there. We will definitely be back to this campsite. Feels like a hidden gem!

Sweet, clean campground. No hookups but great for a couple of days of trailer camping.

Loved this quiet site. Felt peaceful and calm. There’s a body of water nearby but you need to drive or ride a bike (dusty trail). Camp host was nice. I have T Mobile and excellent cell service. Very close to North Star.

Very loud, drunk neighbors who left a pile of trash for next campers. Campground hosts did nothing to address issue.
