Enjoyed walking down to the Truckee River - maybe a designated trail or signs could be added so we do not walk through other campsites? Campsites and bathrooms were great and well kept. Enjoyed a quick trip to Truckee for a bite to eat and Lake Tahoe is absolutely beautiful and only 30 minutes away

Very pleasant stop for the night right on the Truckee River

@TedL1618731 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #22

The sites are far enough apart for good privacy. Good shade. Toilets were clean. The river is nearby to swim or fish. There is a lot of road noise with the highway nearby. The host was there but never saw them. A bit far from services so best to have what you need.

@SynthiaS0F8B12 · Camped on Sep 13, 2025 at Campsite #13

We camped at site 13. The smell from the toilets permeated the campsite all day long. The road noise was extremely loud 24/7 without any stopping. There wasn't but a couple of access point to the Truckee River. Mostly for fishing.

@MirjamD75376F8 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #17

Great campground, the host was very helpful and friendly. Some road noise, quiet at night.

@EricaM1032592 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #19

Beautiful little campground. Very quiet and peaceful, especially toward the back of the campground. I recommend getting a site away from the highway. Our site was along the river (site 19), so the sound of that helped to drown out any highway noise. There was a nice little path down to the river from our site. It was also a huge and very spacious site. Rustic campground, vault toilets but clean, and only 1 water spigot by the camphor. Not sure if there is one in the other loop. I also actually got cell service here. Great location too, just a quick drive to Truckee.

Very nice and quiet! Will go there again. Sites are nice and big and close to MTB trails.

@MelissaR426533 · Camped on Sep 4, 2025 at Campsite #23

The campground was clean, beautiful, and well-maintained; however, it is far too noisy due to highway traffic, making it difficult to relax or sleep well.

@ANDREWL5237889 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025 at Campsite #21

This is a great campground! My favorite in the area!

@AbigailD569616 · Camped on Jul 31, 2025 at Campsite #18

We had this site for a week. All was quiet and ok until the last 3 nights. Some other camper left their cooler out thinking a bear couldnt get into it. They were very wrong. The next day/night the bear kept coming back. Actually heard it was 2. It was not scared of people yelling and banging on things or dogs growling and barking at all. We packed up to a hotel for the last 2 nights. No need to risk anything. The camp host never came around when we checked in. It would have been helpful if they spoke with people checking in to make sure they understood the bear situation.

@SusanG3849669 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #1

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.

@RyanF8490936 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #13

We had a larger group so we actually had 4 sites. We were concerned about road noise but it was not bad at all. And the campground was very clean and quiet. There is a spot where people can swim in the Truckee river and cool off. But the river is moving quickly so watch little ones closely. I would definitely recommend this as a fun place to camp as it is close to Truckee and Tahoe City.

@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!

@EmilyR2265278 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #11

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.

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.
