Snowflower is one of our favorite places to camp. The campground is beautiful, peaceful, and a great place to relax and get away for a few days. The trees, fresh air, and overall setting make it feel like a true escape. The staff has always been kind, helpful, and welcoming. Collette and the team go above and beyond to make guests feel taken care of, and that really makes a difference. We always appreciate the effort they put into keeping things running smoothly, especially during busy weekends. We’ve had great experiences here and always look forward to coming back. Snowflower has become one of those places that feels special every time we visit. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing camping getaway.

Check-in was smooth. We used to camp here years ago and the staff was not very nice. These guys were awesome! The cabin we’re staying in is fantastic and clean. There’s towels, sheets, pillows, shampoo all the utensils and dishes you need. They are just a bit small but definitely big enough. I mean you’re in the forest you’re kind of going to be outside anyway!

Went up for memorial day weekend with the wife and kid, rented a cottage very spaciousamd and neat. Collette and James treated us like family from the moment we arrived. The lodge has plenty of activities for little ones a pool table and a ping-pong table. The lake is amazing we brought up paddle boards and we're out there for hours. I will definitely be goin up again soon and would recommend anyone to bring their family up for a weekend. Thank you James, Collette and staff. See you soon

There's one huge risk going to Snowflower: If you are relegated to the distant upper loops--Tahoe or Sierra--you are about a 25 minute walk to the lake. And since reservations are no longer "first come, first served," you won't know where you're assigned until you arrive. In my opinion, the upper loops should not even be considered part of Snowflower. They are that far away from any of Snowflower's resort features! Thousand Trails should reserve those areas as a separate campground. Aside from that horrible policy, Snowflower--assuming you're near the lake--is a nice place to camp.

7 families and my family took time off work to do a Wednesday to Wednesday camping trip. We did this because we know that it is the only way to be together at a first come first serve campground so we have done this for years and years. We showed up, we all had our reservations and they informed us we have ASSIGNED spaces, they changed their policy and never said a word to us. All of our spaces were on opposite ends of the campground. Nowhere near each other. That’s the point of bringing eight families together-to be together. My space wouldn’t fit my trailer, so they assigned me a different spot. I got the trailer and set up and the kids settled, and my brother pulls in and says that’s his spot. So we go to the front desk again and they had a note on the door that they would be back in an hour. All of our friends and family are showing up, obviously upset. They showed up and the guy said “stop whining, it’s a beautiful day.” He said I could have my old spot back or I could call for a refund tomorrow because that’s not his job. I took my old spot back and had to cut down a tree and spend an hour with two guys and two shovels fixing the approach angle so I could back my trailer in…. And then 3 hours later I got a site set up again. Obviously we cut our trip short, I didn’t bother getting a refund because I didn’t have the capacity to deal with that level of incompetence. The logistics of 8 families, almost all of which have small babies, trying to coordinate meals and social time while having to walk 1/2 mile every time was a nightmare. The staff being rude was uncalled for. 16 people taking time off work and we didn’t even get an email, that’s insanely unfair. We booked somewhere else for the next trip. I don’t even understand how staff of any establishment could be so rude. I cannot say enough bad things about this place.

Just got back from two weeks of October glamping in 1000 Trails Snowflower. Collette the camp host once again gave us a warm friendly welcome. She can answer all your questions. All of the staff was readily available if needed to answer questions or help. They were busy getting the camp ready for the coming winter. Our experience was lots of fun trail riding, quiet hiking with the dog and not so great fishing. Walking the shower and sitting by the lake was an episode of different experience from the summer when it is much busier in a good way. Lake was beautifully serene with the fall colors reflecting off the water. Picture perfect. Lodge was open with activities to do. Day trip to Truckee and Tahoe was a wonderful experience also. Thank you Collette once again for your hospitality and service.

Jaime, Brian and Colette are absolutely amazing employees! Each of them contributed to enhancing our stay here, and because of them, we will be returning and spreading the word on this Thousand Trails campground! I hope these employees are acknowledged through their employers, as they are definitely an asset to the company.

Our group with small children had an amazing time and loved the RV campgrounds. We collectively stayed in the Redwoods and it was beautiful. Everything was so clean and well maintained. The lake was great for fishing and good hiking trails. Colette and staff are extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful.

Nice campground. RV spots in the trees are well planned and have easy access for backing in. Sites have water and electric. There are 2 dump stations. Campground has a welcome Center and very small general store. Pool and a couple of lodges. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quick weekend getaway with easy access for Sacramento and Reno.

Snowflower Thousand Trails is a beautiful place to RV and Pitch a Tent and Camp at. The Staff, Collette, Jake and Ron here are so nice. They go out of their way to make sure your stay is a pleasant one! Thank You All!! Karl And Margaret.

Collette and her staff were more than gracious to accommodate my family and I when we arrived on site! The call center had assigned us a site that didn't work with our 34ft 5th wheel so Collette found us an amazing spot with privacy and sunset views near the lake for 17 days!! The entire staff has always greeted us with a smile or a wave! Thank You Snowflower staff for making our trip a wonderful lifetime memory!

The location of this place is the only reason I'd consider revisiting Snowflower. We stayed in a cabin which had great views. I'm leaving 3 stars because the condition of our cabin was less than desirable. Immediately heard and saw several mice which is understandable but there were mice droppings everywhere even on the couch like the cabin hadn't been properly cleaned. Called to inform the front desk, received no call back. Also the blinds on several windows were completely broken and looked horrible, chunks of blinds missing, like just take them down if you don't want to replace them. Some of the windows were seized up and wouldn't open, no AC in the cabin so it was hot and stuffy, cobwebs everywhere. Lastly, I booked a no-pet cabin but there was animal hair everywhere on the sheets, the floor, and the towels. The cabin could be really nice but it just seems like it was boarded up for winter and not cleaned or maintained properly upon opening for the summer season. Hopefully they will consider better maintenance for a better experience, it wouldn't take much. Not sure if I'll return but the area was very beautiful.

Stayed in a trailer spot #60. Nice area. The campground is spread out so it doesn't feel crowded. Nice lake on the ground. Dogs enjoyed that the best. Lodge with a pool table,foosball and plenty of games. Bring lots of bug spray tons of mosquitoes. No luck with the fishing.

Overall, the campground is really nice. Beautiful location with a nice small lake to enjoy. The downside is the assigned sites at check-in. Our assigned site was too small for our rig. After waiting for about one hour to have our site re-assigned due to four or five other families needing site re-assignments for the same issue we had, Collette assigned us to The Cliffs. This section turned out to be perfect for our friends and us. We were able to stay together where we were not able to stay together in our original assigned sites. Collette did her best with what she was given to help the families who were displaced due to the new TT assigned site system. She went above and beyond staying overtime to help the long line of folks needing help. This cannot be easy for her. We did enjoy our stay and will be back but I am not sure this new assigned system is working well. One complaint: I attempted to contact the office several times for weeks prior to our arrival. The voicemail is chronically full and no one answers the phone when calling directly to the office.
