I enjoyed camping here for the location. Restrooms are clean pit toilets in concrete block buildings. This is a nice little campground in the Tahoe area. The sites are well spread out. The below pictures should help you know if this area would work for you. There is a water fill station right at the entrance and faucets throughout the campground.

24 rustic campground sites for tents and trailers under 30 feet. We appreciated it not feeling like an RV park with big rigs. Vault toilet, fire ring, broken picnic table, bear locker at the campsite, with water at entrance for filling camper or spigots located around campground loop. No dump station. Weekdays were very quiet. Weekend was a party past 3AM each night from different campsites. All Saturday nights are booked for 2024, yet there were a few empty sites. No penalty for no-shows besides the $20 site fee and minimal reservation fee. Hiss, Boo!

Really clean and easily accessible campground in a great “in-between” location that offers easy access to Truckee or a quick drive to Lake Tahoe proper. Was mostly larger rvs and groups but it suffices just fine for my smaller motorcycle and camp setup. Not many bugs when I was there in early June as well. Friday nights offered a decent show of jets flying in and out of the airport which I thought was pretty fun, noise wasn’t an issue! Restrooms were basic but useable, and there was clean potable water available at many locations around the site.

Fantastic campground for a quick getaway near Tahoe. Excellent paved pads for the RV, great bear proof dumpsters, quiet neighbors. Loads of room between sites too. A most excellent place to see the stars at night. I will for sure have this on our next trip itinerary. No electric or water, but they do have public bathrooms and fire pits. I saw lots of pop ups, tents and a few RVs like ours.

Nice quiet little loop, very spacious campsites. Might have trouble with a big rig here, pull off areas are a little small. No services, but the gentle breeze kept us comfy all night. Close to Truckee and 80

Basic facilities, some shade and normally quiet. Weekends are normally booked up, but rarely are all sites full. If you book, please cancel if you aren't using your reservation.

The location is really beautiful, enough space between neighboring campers, quiet and clean. Had an awesome time.

The beauty of the surroundings deserves 5 stars, but the place can be noisy (next to a small airport where Private jets fly regularly). Our space barely had enough space for our tent, which wasn't great either. Also, there wasn't any ranger on site to enforce the noise ordinance so you could hear kids screaming till 1:30 am.
