Stayed here for a couple nights. It’s a quiet and relaxing place nestled in the forest. We were cooking when we spotted this beautiful girl walking.

Great location! 25 minutes to lake Tahoe and 15 to Donner!

The manager was very helpful and kind to our questions and services. We rented a fireplace and he was very helpful and checked up on us if we need anything. Hiking trails are great and very beautiful

Nice but expensive for tent camping. 45$ nite . 60 for RVs which is reasonable.

Quiet campsites close to town in the middle of a neighborhood. Some RV sites would struggle with longer rigs. Will definalty be back.
