Great campground in Truckee, far from the highway so much less noise that other campgrounds nearby. A bunch of hiking/biking trails accessible right from the campground, with Northstar being literally at riding distance. The campground is right next to a small airport but was not too noisy, I think there was only 2 planes I noticed taking off while I was there. Recommended!

Nice campsite! Neighbors were minimally noisy, which was really nice considering it was the 4th of July weekend. We walked down to Marlette Creek Lake, and our dog loved splashing in the water. We came camping to avoid the sound of fireworks, as our dog nearly has a heart attack from them, but we could still hear the display in Truckee. It was muffled, but still audible. Overall, we enjoyed our camping trip here and would like to return. We did come home with several sneaky bug bites so I'd use more bug spray next time.

We love Alpine Meadows Campground. It is generally quiet and always beautiful.

Great location - close to highway access but not so close as to feel like you're on the side of the road. The sites are spacious with lots of wildlife, plants and trees. Just a short walk to a nice wildlife recreations area. We were very happy with the stay and would return.

Lovely campground with scattered trees overlooking the alpine meadow. Sites are nicely spaced but non-electric. Water is available at the entrance. No dump station. Convenient to Truckee, Donner Memorial State Park, & northwest shore of Lake Tahoe. Very close to Truckee airport (general aviation), & a meal at the Red Truck Cafe there was very good at a good price while watching the private planes take off & land. Hosts were friendly & helpful. I'll be back.
