Spacious campsites with privacy. I just wish bathrooms would have light.

The campground is excellently maintained. The distance to the Lake is easily walkable. Last Fall I easily took my wife in a wheelchair to a wonderful dinner at Sunnyside. At the first of the camping and the very ending of the season this site cannot be beat. We have lived and camped with friends and family for over 40 years and this is our favorite spot. Miles of bike and hiking trails. Walkable to North Lake Tahoe with all of it's charm.

Love the grounds

Nice place. Quaint setup among the neighbors. Lake access across the highway, small so grab a spot early. No cleaning stations for dishes tho, which means have to clean at site.

The experience was good with the exception of some noisy neighbors and mosquitoes. I have been camping there for a few years now and have not experienced mosquitoes as I did this trip.

William Kent is a great little camp ground..,very quiet and very well spaced and for us with 2 dogs there is a great trail right down the street
@Jacquelin5BBD7 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #55
It was great experience so fun and relaxing
@YufeiZ8798200 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #27
Wonderful site, most quiet and level.
@IvanR8FD0F3465 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #39
Good place and close the beach. It will be better if more bathrooms and showers available.
@VictorC2285191 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #36
campground is awesome, just some steps from the lake. Bathrooms are clean, but no mirror nor hand soap
@Christoph94057 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #37
We camped at 37 and had a great time there! It was clean and had a lot of flat areas for tents.
@TitusE1826DF55 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #32
Lots of bears but a wonderful, clean, and safe campground with access to a small beach and very kind, welcoming hosts.
@NesaM8C0C68C46 · Camped on Oct 10, 2024 at Campsite #28
Great place to stay. But beware of bears.
@CarolynAC7CB4A · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #55
Great hosts. Good area with access to lake across the road. Clean tidy campground. The bear just after dark was a bonus!
@TheoSFD1DE603B · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #30
Nice campsite and friendly
@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Sep 30, 2024 at Campsite #72
Great place to camp and clean bathrooms. Very nice camp host. Wonderful places to hike close by. Sunnyside Restaurant and beach area are right across the street. Spaces are well spaced and you are not as close to a neighbor. Camping here is well worth it.
@DarrenB8585202 · Camped on Sep 24, 2024 at Campsite #6
Despite being adjacent to some businesses, this is a very quiet nice place to camp. Very convenient too.
@StephenG136341 · Camped on Sep 24, 2024 at Campsite #62
Very experienced professional camp hosts. Camp well organized. Bad that open pit camp fires allowed in Tahoe Basin. Just criminal foolish.
@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #66
Great place to take our RV. Love the wooded surroundings and clean camp ground. The restroom we used was definitely clean, even for a camp ground. Also loved being directly across from Sunny Side Restaurant
@IsaacR4397763 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #14
Great camping spot. Short walk to lake. Clean facilities and sites. Is in a small community so houses nearby. Can be heard but not really seen.
@JamesR5751753 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #32
The campground is clean and the staff are great
@stevenb5011158 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #72
Great campground for glamping. Beautiful Lake Tahoe right across the street and perfect location to get on to the bike trails!Close to Tahoe City and the restaurants there.
@SiangLan7C915E · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #72
Beautifully set up of the campground, lots of shade. Clean toilets, easy to get water and RV dump. Quiet guests. Fire wood available, and last but not least very helpful and enjoyable staff.

The campground is pretty, foresty, close to town and walkable to the lake, but not right on it. It was mostly cleaned up, other campers were friendly. I was excited to book my visit for next year until the host made me leave or book an additional site because my second vehicle was a sprinter van and he said it was considered an RV. There were only two people staying in the camp spot, and we were sleeping in the airstream trailer. My sprinter doesnt have hookups or shower or toilet so Im not sure if it really should be considered an RV. After trying to nicely and calmly move explain to him I had bought the extra parking pass from him for the vehicle and have a conversation with him he directly told me you burners think you can get away with everything, carried on having a one sided conversation with himself and explained to me he didnt need to listen to me because he was right. I purchased another campsite because it wasnt worth the $40 to argue with him and waste my time with someone that had already made up his mind about being right, not willing to listen, and discriminated against me because I go to burning man. I also asked for a refund of the parking I had paid for when I purchased the campsite and he refused to even continue a conversation. Honestly havent dealt with someone like that in a while. So yeah campsites great 8/10, hosts 2/10 - only reason they get 2 points was for being available and keeping the place cleaned up.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
