This campground is very well-maintained. It's developed enough that it's very convenient (easy parking, leveled spot for your tent, picnic tables and fire rings, water spigots, bear lockers, firewood for sale, and vault toilets) but it's also still very beautiful. The spots aren't too close together, although I definitely heard the neighboring kids playing. Pro tip: walk to the front of the campground and head left onto the trailhead for a gentle 1.5 mi loop around a gorgeous meadow with a creek, wildflowers, and signs about the history and nature unique to this area. This loop connects to the Tahoe Rim Trail so you may see some backpackers. Be polite and say hello!The host was very friendly and helpful. Dogs are allowed, which is wonderful, just be sure to keep them on leash. One camper let her dog go off and it tackled a nice old dog who was on-leash. It was very upsetting to watch. The host gave the negligent owner a warning.

One of the cleanest campgrounds I've ever been to. Camp host is great! The only part I didn't like is how hard it is to get a site here.

We've been visiting Mt Rose Campground for nearly 15 years. (Minus the years snow pack kept it closed. ) When we first started camping there, the road and campsites were dirt. The campground was remodeled and what they did was astounding. We find the campground has become super popular and it's a challenge to get a reservation .he campground sits about 8900' in elevation which makes it a cool (figuratively and actually) place to go in the summer. When the temps in the valleys are 100 degrees. The campground peaks in the high 70's or low 80's. The campground is clean with well maintained outhouses. The campground has had the same camp host as the previous years which has a direct relationship in the cleanliness of the grounds. (Great Job Guys!) The campground is ground zero for hiking and biking in the area with Mt Rose Meadow, Mt Rose Wilderness and the TRT access. I like Rose and hope everyone will stops going there.....

I did not know what to expect, but this campground blew my mind. Pristine campsites, cooler climate and wonderful staff are just some of the benefits of staying here. It’s a must!

One of the best campgrounds I've stayed at! Vault toilets but soooo clean!
