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.

Nice campground. Larger campsites than many forest service or BLM campgrounds. The proximity to town and Northstar make it easy to access services, yet the campground doesn't feel like you are camping in town.

Unfortunately, the dump station here has been permanently closed. I bet on the expensive side, but spacious paved sites.

I LOVE Alpine Meadows for several reasons! Let's start with a GREAT, FRIENDLY AND INCREDIBLE STAFF! Lori, Tom, Greg and Jessica are the BEST! I have been camping and visiting Alpine Meadows for several years and Lori, Tom, Greg and Jessica always make my trips here feel like I am at home enjoying spending time with family and friends! They greet(know me by name as well as other visitors), wave and stop by several times on every visit(at least 6 trips a year) as they are making their rounds, make sure everything is OK and my experience is enjoyable, exceeding my expectations! The camp grounds are clean, well maintained, including bathrooms, are well stocked and checked throughout the day and the view is very relaxing! I visit several camp grounds a year and this by far is my favorite largely because of the incredible staff and I will definitely continue to visit and look forward to seeing them ALL there! PLEASE let them know how much they are APPRECIATED AND VALUED! THANK YOU!

Took a wonderful drive up Old Highway 40 up to the overlook and bridge and views of Donner Lake on the way . Drive into old Truckee for the day. Geocaching is fun in the area too

Campsites were separate enough for privacy and big enough for vehicles.
