The campground is excellent overall. However, water is no longer available in the campground due to a broken supply line. Bring plenty of potable water. The drive to Truckee to resupply is a two hour round trip.

Camp sites were reserved for my scouting america troop, and everybody got a pleasant experience out there. Having a reservoir next door was good but the weather was not cooperating, too much wind for paddleboat... So the troop fell back on hiking and were very pleased with the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) being right there. It is not every day you can walk on such trail.
Overall, it was good and everybody enjoyed it.

These people aren’t wrong, the campsite host was incredibly unkind!
His dog running at you off leash barking could be scary, but he is also a large man with an intimidating presence.
He did not need to bully a lone 5ft female who had a simple question at a reasonable hour.
Coming from a family of campground hosts, I find it absolutely heartbreaking that there is someone in this role who does not find it an honor and privilege to care for these spaces and their visitors.
The place was beautiful but this guy needs a new line of work and a different way to deal with his feelings.

Sites 17 & 18, a short walk to the water. Restrooms with flush toilet, running water across from us. The sites are large and private backing up to trees. Steve the host is very friendly and Informative. If your launching call NID ahead for when the gate is open. Its not posted at the launch. Love this lake and campground
