Nice quiet campground. A couple of miles from the highway so road noise is not an issue. Restrooms have running water in the sink but pit toilets. Not an issue for me but others may not like that. Potable water spigots are spread out throughout the campground. Most sites have a good amount of shade. Great location only about 10 minutes from downtown Truckee. Martis Lake is a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk from camp if youre looking for some fishing.

This once very well kept campground has been in decline over the last few years. The relatively new campground hosts do little to nothing to ensure campers find a clean/prepped camp, they no longer rake the dead pine needles away from the fire pit, nor do they even check to see if the bear boxes have anything in them from the previous campers. On one stay I found a full bag of trash in our bear box when we arrived for one of our 3 stays here this summer. I took it to the trash.On another stay this season the urinal in the men's bathroom was completely backed up with urine the entire time we were there. I took a picture of the condition but NEVER saw the campground hosts to point it out to them nor should anyone have to..We arrived on another stay a day late but early in the morning on the second day of our reservation only to find our site was occupied. Seems the campground hosts had not put up our occupied tag for the day of our arrival/length of stay. So, the couple just took our spot. The woman in our campsite assured me she'd looked on Rec.gov and the site was available. I showed her my printed reservation that clearly showed that the night they stayed there was already reserved and paid for by us. She just shrugged her shoulders. Had our tag been put on the site like it should have been, this wouldn't have happened.The campground now requires you to arrived no earlier than 2pm and depart no later than noon. We had been using this campground for years/decades when this requirement was enacted. When we questioned why, we were told it was "to give the campground hosts time to clean and prep the campsites." Well then, clean and prep the campsites.It would be easy to blame the relatively new campground hosts but the Corps of Engineers are letting it happen. They have a facility sitting adjacent the campground. They drive thru the campground. They should be the ones letting the hosts know they are not doing their job...Phil & Karen
