I had rented site 79 to be next to site 77-78. However, site 79 and 80 are reversed on the recreation.gov map and we ended up not having sites next to each other. The bathrooms on our loop were not cleaned very often and they were out of toilet paper multiple times during our stay.

the campers in the double site 20 was very loud and rude all the way to 3am. The camp host did there job and kicked them out the next day. Looking forward being back up there next year.

The Logger campground (Tahoe NF) is well maintained. This campground is in a nice stand of east side ponderosa pine. Any interaction with host, FS employees and FS volunteers was positive and friendly. The camp site was pleasant. Rest rooms were as clean as one could hope for in a campground. We arrived on a Saturday and nearly all sites were full. Noise in the campground was normal low rumble and quieted down by about 9pm. There was a bit of what I call light pollution. Several RVs had exterior lighting that pretty much destroyed the night camping experience. I wore a ball cap all evening to block the bight lights. By Sunday 11am we were nearly by ourselves. There was a very orderly exodus as other campers pack up and pulled out.
Stampede reservoir level was very low. The local soil I believe is ash and stone. This eliminates any "beach" area and the soil type leaves a muddy rocky bottom. Shore swimming is not pleasant. Boating, fishing, canoe/kayak and water sports away from shore looked good enough.
When full Stampede reservoir is nice to look at. When very low it is not attractive.
