Good place to stay while you explore nearby tourist destinations but the ants sure are a problem though. Also, remember to put your food somewhere that the bears can’t get it because they’ll scavenge here all right.

We got there in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. The camp host’s were nowhere to be found. We called multiple times and knocked on the office door. Two other guests tried the same thing. We ended up following the late arrival payment instructions and left cash in an envelope.

This is a great location in South Lake Tahoe! Close to the lake, has showers and flush toilets, and a short walk to restaurants and grocery stores. The campground can be a bit noisy due to proximity to Hwy 50 and the occasional blasting stereos in the campsites, but is pretty quiet at night. Note that this campground is only open for the summer months and requires reservations. There may not be on-site staff when you visit, but site permits are checked every day to verify that all visitors are valid.

Do not camp here if you have kids or by chance are allergic to ants. This place is infested with them. They are EVERYWHERE! You can't even sit outside and enjoy your campfire without them crawling all over you. Also they charge for showers, so if you do come make sure you bring plenty of quarters only because that's all they take. Also, if you need to contact the person that runs this place you'll be waiting more than 2 days for a response. For $50 a night you're better off spending an extra $50 somewhere comfortable where you don't have to worry about being bitten by ants.

My parter and I recently spent 2 nights camping here. This campground is conveniently located, spacious, and pretty. The camp host was nice and helpful. The bathrooms (which have flushing toilets) where clean but missing seat covers and hand soap. This campground is surrounded by city so be aware that you'll hear city sounds. I would definitely stay here again!

Let's start off by an outlandish amount of money, eveninthe off season, for what you get. I've lived in the basin for three seasons and this place has definitely upped their prices to make Tahoe a less desirable place. It will cost you $100 a night to be smashed in next to people and $35 if you just need to dump a 10 gallon tank, personally I would head to Nevada beach or zephyr cove.

What a great place! The staff is nice and helpful! A big shout out to Shane for helping us park and get situated. It snowed last night and he was there first thing this morning to answer questions and make sure all was well! We will be back! Thanks Shane for your great Hospitality 😀🥂

Wonderful. We had kayaks dirt bikes and bicycles. Had great time with all. The way this park is set up you are in the woods and across the street from lake and around the corner from a grocery store. I can't wait to go back

We stayed at this campground with our trailer for 1 week. We absolutely loved it. Awesome location, well maintained with hook-ups, very close to the city spots, right across from the beach and other activities. Yes due to Covid situation their seasonal staff is not available and public restrooms were closed. But they communicated that well in advance. We would love to come back, best wishes for upcoming Happy campers!
