Everything went well.

A perfect site close enough to hear the river at night and far enough from the road. Awesome spot!

Campground is right on a busy highway. The loop roads were narrow and had big boulders fronting the road. There was little room to park and we had difficulty getting our small camper in the designated spot. We ended up leaving a day early wouldn’t stay there again.

The campground is a bit worn down, but everything works fine. We would have loved to go tubing on the river Truckee had we known about this before arriving. It looked like so much fun - even for the small kiddos.
We spent the day at Commons Beach in Tahoe city. Such a magical little spot in the middle of the city.

Very convenient location and clean campsite. The road noise was bothersome most of the night.

Clean bathrooms, water available. Close to activities. Site 4 would ideal (not a pull through) for noise and privacy

Stayed here for two nights. Camp sites and bathrooms were very clean. The Truckee River was right next to our sites which made it awesome to take a walk with the kids down the river. Only downside I'd say was the HWY being a bit too close which meant car noise. Other than that, it was an overall great experience.

Site #10 is very small. It is directly across from the parking lot area intended for tent campers (camping down by the river), and crowded. Consider booking this site if you have a smaller vehicle only. There were a lot of ant piles in the site area and it was unlevel. We had a rooftop tent so this was not an issue but it may make it difficult for a ground tent. Recommend booking one of the larger sites away from this parking area if you have a larger vehicle.
