Great camp off the highway! I got two sites with a group of 7. The bathrooms were stocked at all times and the sites were clean. Only curious thing was we went during fire restrictions and our understanding was that no pit fired were allowed (even with a permit) and we had neighbors that burned fires. Perhaps some more patrols, regulation, and clarity around that?

Pictures of campsites were very inaccurate. It made it appear that they had shade however, there was absolutely no shade in our spot and most of the spots in this campground.

Nice little campsite! River running behind, 2 different reservoirs up the road and Truckee, CA is close if you need a store or restaurant. 1 pit toilet, some sites are close to each other, but I enjoyed my stay and would go again.

Honestly, we had a great time. But we paid for spot three a month previous. Someone was in spot two that did not leave until 6 PM so our spot three was taken by someone else that was supposed to be in spot two. There was no camp host available to do anything about it. We had to take the camp host spot. Or drive an hour back home…. Basically great spot but poor/zero management.
