We had such a wonderful stay! Our camp host, Hobie, was amazing—friendly, hilarious, and made us feel right at home. We were lucky to snag a spot on the last weekend the campground was open, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Grizzly and Luna (our two pups) had the best time exploring, and we loved how quiet, clean, and family-friendly the site was. The bathrooms were honestly the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a campground! We highly recommend this spot and can’t wait to come back next year.

What a great campground, made even more enjoyable by the fantastic friendly informative host, Hobie 😍. Our group really enjoyed staying there for the very last weekend of the 2025 camping season. Hope Hobie is there when we come back again! Fingers crossed water becomes available for 2026.

Incredible campground, with great places, good sanitation, and very nice and fun hosts. Super close to some beautiful areas and on a walking distance to some natural pitholes and the Silver Lake. I came for bouldering specifically, and it's within ~30 minutes of driving from some of the best bouldering you can do around Lake Tahoe. Highly recommend staying here.
