Great camp ground. Location is good Has showers and restrooms. Can get a little packed during peak season. Camp host are great. Watch out for tree branches and pine cones with your Rv

Centrally located in Tahoe, feels less like a campground and more like a very expensive parking space. For the price you’d think the showers would be free, but those are also coin operated. There are lots of sites and it’s well maintained, but I would not spend my money here when there are better campgrounds nearby

Campground in the center of town. Great location for traveling around Lake Tahoe! Not too many amenities but has clean bathrooms and an affordable dump station (free for guests!).

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.
