We enjoyed our stay at Good Meadows. The garbage was well taken care of and staff cleaned the bathrooms daily. The fire pit had been recently cleaned out as well.

@FredrikA8722B2 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #12

Very nice location. Just a few steps away from the Truckee River and a quick drive to Lake Tahoe.

@PeterJ8984222 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #22

Really nice surrounding. The only negative point is the noise from the nearby road.

@KevinM8804744 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #21

Very well maintained campsite. great location.

@ElizabethB5852 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #17

First time there and really enjoyed it. We were in site #17. We experienced initial difficulties in leveling our Class B Sprinter due to the downhill slope of the site. Changing sites appeared to be problematic although the camp host was helpful in explaining how we could do it online. We decided to stay in that site and the host came down and checked on us to ensure we were settled. The campground is convenient to both Truckee and north Lake Tahoe. While there was some road noise, the sound of the Truckee River masked it for us. It is a little slice of paradise right off Hwy 89. There was quite a bit of one nighters (usually tent campers) and a lot of sites were empty during the day for campers who take day trips around the area. That made it an especially quiet campground.Vault toilet restrooms were cleaned every day and always had plenty of toilet paper. No flies or bugs in the restrooms!

Nice camp, bit of a hike down to the water. Campground was covered in hundreds of ant hills.

@NickA5023435 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #11

Clean campsite and bathroom. Quiet despite being near road, river drowns out the noise. Respectful neighbors.

@JenniferW73279 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #13

Nice and quiet, despite being close to the road. Small campground means campsite is near the restroom, but not too near. Campground host was onsite. Bathrooms were very clean. Note the bathrooms are pit toilet only; no sinks, no showers. There is a faucet for potable water. Very close driving distance to Pallisades Tahoe and close to Truckee and Tahoe City.

@AmyB6929249 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #8

Clean, beautiful and great location!

@DavidE7840041 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #17

We loved this campground. It was well kept and everything worked as it should. Good river access and conveniently located between Truckee and Tahoe City. Bring a broom, the campgrounds are well used and dusty, but in very good shape. We had a positive experience here.

@JoseR3910067 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #19

Great little campground on the river. Always a pleasure to stay there. Now if the camp host was available multiple times. He was there, just didn't want to have anything to do with campers. Needs to be replaced, does not represent your organization well at all.

@WColeW93903FF9 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #12

Great setting. Host watchfulAnd communicative. He kept restrooms clean and stocked. Host also monitored sites keeping them all current for reservation status.

@BarbaraS935217 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #17

Nice roomy site, #17. Could hear the Truckee river and road noise was minimal. Clean bathrooms.

@BinTA5F53C3AFE · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #8

Its vault toilet. But the restroom is super clean! Its the cleanest vault toilet restroom I have ever seen.

@AlexG3369952 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #18

nice big campsites. was actually a bit too spread out in 18 with our trailer being confined to the designated parking. Overall great spot tho. some hwy noise but if you can get a spot by the river the hwy is mostly drowned out. great location for going between truckee, olympic/squaw valley, and tahoe. mens long drop wasn't too bad! i think folks knew to keep the lid closed.

@ClaireG8232267 · Camped on Oct 12, 2024 at Campsite #15

The campground was wonderful. Bathrooms were clean, campsites were easy to set up on.

@LawrenceC94977 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #8

Stayed in Site #8. It was mid-week and near the end of summer. So not very active during the day or night. Rented a 16' trailer through Airbnb. It was dropped off, so the site worked well as a 'pull-through'. Throughout my two-day stay, I enjoyed the easy access to the river. Didn't need the restroom. The site host never bothered me, but he was present and appeared to be very attentive. The site was perfectquiet, peaceful, and full of solitude. I couldnt have asked for a better spot.

@RyanW7011906 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #22

Great campground in the Sierra Nevada.. Stayed at Site 22, in Mid July. No problem with bugs, very nice campsite with a large bear box and fire ring. We just stayed overnight on a pass thru, but this is a great overall location to experience the North Lake Tahoe area. Truckee is a 5-7 minute drive, with great dining and shopping options. Tahoe City is a short drive, as is the Donner Pass area, which is not to be missed. Clean pit toilets a short walk to the river if you want to take a dip.

@TyR7550663 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #17

Very clean and well laid out camp ground. There is even a nice little wading pool at the edge on the river for the little ones. Only negative was the road noise from the highway that could still be heard throughout the campground.

@Esmeralda6585A · Camped on Jun 8, 2024 at Campsite #16

The site was perfect with plenty of room for our 8 person tent and canopy. It was very close to the bathrooms. Short walking distance to the river. Beautiful overall. The road noise becomes white noise and tend to forget youre so close. Only issue we had was the host. Hes not welcoming at all. We didnt even know who he was until we were packing up and he accused us of chopping branches off the trees. He went as far as to report us to the forest ranger. Ludacris! We camp regularly and know better than to mistreat Mother Nature. Shame on the host!

@JEFFERYH781231 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #12

Amazing host and cleanly park

@MartinR6350446 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #19

Beautiful location. Lots to do in the area.

@JackJ3499729 · Camped on Sep 20, 2023 at Campsite #3

Campsites are too close together.

@KevinM8804744 · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #11

Great campsite. Spacious with easy access to the Trukee river.

@DarrellS869781 · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #11

Big spaces. Clean. Little bit of highway noise but not signiicant

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
