Not too far from Truckee in case you've forgotten something. Very clean and neat campground. Camp host is friendly. Toilets even smell good unless another careless camper leaves the lid up. There is no water available at the site. Traffic noise off the 80 is a bit loud at times.

Very nice campground. A bit of road noise because it’s so close. Nice walk down to the river and so close to the bike path and river access.

The camp is more than beautiful, always clean, the bathrooms clean, and there are always people in charge watching, I love going there, we had a great 4th of July 🫶🏻, the only bad thing was the mosquitoes but that's part of the great nature of the area 😊

This was an outstanding campsite. There is no water here and we are close to the highway, but these are small factors considering how nice everything else was. The hosts are amazing people and great to talk to, everything was well organized and maintained. Firewood was available for purchase and the bathrooms never smelled. We were only 15min away from Lake Tahoe City, making camping very easy. Will be going again!

No piped water. Pit toilets very clean. Very few guests midweek so campground quiet but very close to the highway so road noise.
