The campground host was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. The campground is peaceful and beautiful. I would be very careful when choosing a site - especially if you are towing a trailer. The interior roads are narrow and they have lined them with rocks and timbers making it quite challenging to back into sites.

It was a great near location for Tahoe. Everything was clean and there is grocery stores near by just in case you are in need of something. The campground spots are close but far enough to be comfortable.

We always love tahoe, no matter where we camp. this location was clean and quiet and convenient to the bike trail, Truckee, palisades and the rest of the Tahoe basin. Being so close to the river enhances the experience.

Was a bounty of peace, tranquility and super galactic omnipresent oneness achieved. Camp Host was engagingly friendly. Love him! All fellow campers really do not care what you're doing. The bears are friendly too...
I assisted one crossing the road...

We really liked this campground. Our solute wasn't too close to the highway so it was pretty quiet. Nice pull thru space. Nice host on site.

Great campground next to the river! Nights can be a bit chilly, and note the noise from the highway.

campsite has lot of potential.. but it fails in some aspect:
-potable water is not so good
-toilette is low manteined (igienic papaer ended and no sanitizer... and low cleaning=
-no access to river (even if you are close to)

Very close to Highway 89, so lots of road noise certain times of day. We have a small trailer and the loops are laid out incorrectly for backing a small trailer in, especially with the spacing of the trees and large rocks to keep people on the road. We had to come in through the exit in order to back in. We spoke with another small trailer owner there who had done the same. Sites are very narrow and challenging to back into with trailers. When it says 30 ft equipment is allowed, that is for the trailer and the vehicle. The sites are not long enough to accommodate both of over than length. The river is very pretty, but not easily accessible and there is no beach area. Campground is a great central location if you plan to tent camp and go out and do other activities.

Camp host was wonderful. Yes the sites are right off the highway but honestly you barely notice. Spacious spots. Lots of shade. Close to many activities.
