I was in site #19 and it was perfect. Clean, close to everything, and well appointed. I was really impressed by the tent pads at every site! Very well maintained. Beautiful place. Just a quick walk across the street to the Carson River (which was pretty low this time of year). Also a nice 10 mile drive to Lower Blue Lake-spectacular beauty!

Site 12 was well shaded and very private. Restrooms were clean and water was abundantly avaliable.
