I am a return visitor & really like this campground, but It was very, very hot! I ended up driving down to the Truckee Regional Park & parked as close to the river as I could until evening. My campsite happened to have zero shade in the afternoon & little Martis Lake, near there, has no trees by the beaches. I took my big, black dog there anyway to let him cool off, but I won't ever reserve a campsite there again- that doesnt have shade when its so incredibly hot.

This was a hidden gem which we will add to our list of close-by campgrounds. However, it was difficult to find using Apple maps - it sent us to a narrow dirt road leading to the dam! Getting to the campground was frustrating but we enjoyed our site, the hosts, the bike rides through the campground and to the lake. There is a cute amphitheater behind this site (#20) but no programs during the time we were there. By backing in at a slight angle we were able to level our Sprinter van without needing blocks. Signage could be improved on where to turn off hwy 267 and then to the campground. Be aware, there is no shade at the lake but plenty of mixed shade and sun at the campsite. Water there is not potable and a pipe was broken while we were there so we had a brief time without spigot water.

The tranquility of this place is amazing. So much wildlife; woodpeckers, bluejays, eagles, beavers in the lake. I was so happy to see that much of the weeds in the lake have been cleaned out. Thank you to whoever did that. I love that there are no power boats allowed. It makes kayaking the lake so lovely! I spent 15 days here and enjoyed the peace and quiet immensely. I will definitely be back. Please don't tell anyone else about this place. My only complaint is that I hate the pit toilets, but I found a way to work around that, I used a blue boy tank that I could empty.

Campground located in a beautiful location with a gravel road leading to Martis Creek Lake. The airport is nearby so noise from planes can be heard. Bathrooms were clean but dated.

It’s a beautiful, quiet park with gorgeous pine trees. The only thing that would’ve made it better was if there had been access to potable water.

Nice Campground, except the toilet. Wind brings the smell. Flush toilet would make it more attractive.

Wonderful place to camp as it has less crowds and bathrooms were clean. Great location to a variety of activities and loved watching the lear jets and glider planes as the flew over. Quiet campground off the main highway. Highly recommend.Not crowded when we were there.

This campground was immaculate! Logs and sumps lining the roads and camping spots. Rocks were laid round circling small plants. Each site had a picnic table, a bear box, a bbq, a campfire ring and a bear pole with a hook. Bathrooms were very clean. There are about 24 sites including the tent sites. We stayed at site 20 and we did not need to use any leveling ramps.
