Reviews
Martis Creek Lake campground is a quiet, well-maintained site with spacious campsites surrounded by natural scenery and near recreational areas like Lake Tahoe and Martis Creek Lake. It is conveniently close to Truckee and local amenities. Visitors appreciate the friendly hosts and peaceful atmosphere, although some note road access challenges and basic restroom facilities. Noise from a nearby airport and occasional maintenance issues are recurring concerns.

Nice campground, good spacing between site and clean bathrooms. Proximity by bicycle to trails and downtown Truckee good.

Exceptional camp host. The bathroom facility are always clean and the campsites are mess free and ready for usage. I would like to give special thanks to the camp host for their support in helping me to dismantle my awning when it collapsed at the campsite.

Nice,clean campground. About the only noise is the occasional plane landing at nearby airport. Great place to relax.

Beautiful environment, as always. I enjoy the small lake, watching the birds and other people relaxing with their dogs.
So quiet and serene. The campground is small, no much noise. I love to watch the kids play--if there are any.
I did get too cold at night, and I envied the people sleeping inside trailers and vans.
The bathrooms are stinky, as always. Oh, well. The Host was off duty that Monday and Tuesday.
Quick access to the airport deli, with great menu of fresh foods with interesting spices.
I could really keep away from the Tahoe summertime crowd and enjoy the beauty of nature.

It is a nice little campground with spacious campsites. I tried site 23 this time and it was nice but did have full sun on the RV late morning until about 3 pm. After that the shade is great.

Nice campground with nice views of the meadows above the lake. It would have been perfect if we did not have campers with generators on both sides of us, one of which ran it all day. They did turn it off during quiet hours but was still a bit much.
