This was our second trip to Alpine Meadows Campground. Each time I am impressed on how clean the campground is kept. The sites are ample size and most have been constructed with shade in mind. I find that the sites on the outside of the circle probably get the most shade with the ones on the outside of the circle in the first half seeming to have the most. The first time we went, we had AT&T fo cell service and there was no service within the campground, but if we went to the flag pole at the enterence we were able to get full bars, this was 4 years ago, might be better now. This trip we have Tmobile. We were able to get 2 to 3 bars of 4G throughout the entire campground with a few spots getting full bars. It was enough to make phone calls or use the internet browser. Was here to unplug though so only used the cell as needed to check local information sites, which we never had an issue doing with the service available. I love how quiet this Campground is and generally everyone that this camp attracts is super friendly. It's a great location of hiking and biking trails. Martis Creek Lake is close by. It's a little bit of a walk but driving from the campground is about 3 to 4 minutes only because the road is rough and dirt/gravel, it is in good repair though. The road to the lake cuts off right at the enterence to the campground so it's super close. Took my kids about 10 to 15 minutes to walk it when we were here several years ago. This is a great campground for families. The traffic is slow, because speed limit is I think 10 mph but the road around the campground doesn't support faster (bumps, small/one lane). KIDS DO RIDE BIKES AND SCOOTERS AROUND THE CAMPGROUND SO MAKE SURE TO STAY GOING SLOW AND WATCH! Overall, it was a great trip to unplug and get away for a while. I also loved the there is space between sites so you are not right up next to your neighbor. Bathrooms have stalls, sinks, paper towels, toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

The campground is located in a very beautiful meadow with a fantastic view of snow-clad mountains. However, the serenity was rather frequently interrupted by passing aircraft (jets, helicopters, crop-dusters) due to the proximity to the Truckee airport; it wasn't too annoying, but did hinder the sense of the wilderness - the only reason for the 4 stars. The sites are very affordable and well-maintained, potable water is close and readily available; firewood is accessible, restrooms are stocked and are as clean as a vault toilet can get. There was no soap though, so don't forget to bring your own one.

We camped 5 nights in a 29' RV, it was very pretty, quiet, and close to Truckee. I love aircraft, so being close to the airport was a plus, but some may not like the sound. The lake was low, but very pretty, and lots of trails to hike and bike.

No walking trails from campground making it necessary to drive down to lake. Could use a remake to make it more recreationally friendly.

I LOVE Alpine Meadows for several reasons! Let's start with a GREAT, FRIENDLY AND INCREDIBLE STAFF! Lori, Tom, Greg and Jessica are the BEST! I have been camping and visiting Alpine Meadows for several years and Lori, Tom, Greg and Jessica always make my trips here feel like I am at home enjoying spending time with family and friends! They greet(know me by name as well as other visitors), wave and stop by several times on every visit(at least 6 trips a year) as they are making their rounds, make sure everything is OK and my experience is enjoyable, exceeding my expectations! The camp grounds are clean, well maintained, including bathrooms, are well stocked and checked throughout the day and the view is very relaxing! I visit several camp grounds a year and this by far is my favorite largely because of the incredible staff and I will definitely continue to visit and look forward to seeing them ALL there! PLEASE let them know how much they are APPRECIATED AND VALUED! THANK YOU!
