The campground was lovely and we started off with high hopes. Around 10pm on the first night (July 28th) a very loud chainsaw noise started up. Is was impossible to sleep through even with earplugs and continued until 2:00am. I called the police to file a noise complaint. The following night, it started up again at 10pm. I called the sheriff and they said Id was part of a road maintenance project and they couldnt do anything about it. If this is true, it is surely the responsibility of the campground to inform potential campers that there will be incredibly load noises all night. We got 0 hours of sleep between the two of us and ended up driving down to Meeks bay the second night in search of quiet. Absolute nightmare experience.

The actual lake front access of this State Park is not large. But it's in a prime location. Pleasant to watch the moon or sun rise over the distant shore. I also launched my kayak from this little gravel beach to cruise the section of the West Shore which is primarily private. Parking spots are few, but it's an easy walk across the street (Hwy 89) from the campground. The sites I saw were spacious and shaded by huge (Sequoia?) trees. Camp host was friendly and helpful.

The park is mostly very nice but there are a couple of criticisms. They don't trim their trees well enough on their roads. They scratch the sides of full width rigs. Also many of the campsites have the tables on the wrong side of your rig requiring you to either walk around your rig to serve at the table or go in the wrong way. Finally, there is no way to fill your water without blocking the narrow road at a narrow bridge unless your rig is very small.

Shhh. Don't tell anyone about this campground. It is the best deal in all of Tahoe. Near everything and on the right side of traffic, meaning very little traffic. It is well kept. Dump station is a plus and the bathrooms are modern and clean. We were pulling a 25ft trailer and had no trouble getting through the campground, but larger rigs might. Clearance is not quite 14 ft. to most branches and trees.
TIP: Listen to the camp hosts when they tell you to not eat outside after 9pm. They told us it was an open invitation for bears to join you. We don't eat that late, but the people in the site next to us did. A large bear came into their camp, chased the 2 people into their truck and then raided all of their food on the table and in the open bear box! Then, the bear ran through the whole campground. A bear visited the campground 2 nights after that, as well.
