Only about 22 min drive from North Lake Tahoe with a nice river running behind the camp ground and a campground trail alongside that same river with beautiful views. We had one of the "walk in" sites - we had to walk down from a small parking lot to our site. It's a bit steep, a bit rocky, and not even a half of a mile so it's not real hard but if you have any sort of physical ailment, these sites definitely aren't for you. That said, the walk-in site was beautiful because it was practically overlooking the river. Bring some mosquito repellent and enjoy the amazing view each morning :)2 things to keep in mind: 1) DISHES: There is running water from spigots but they don't allow washing of dishes - I ignored this (and no one said anything to me about it) since I think washing a few dishes is better for the environment than using a bunch of disposable stuff. So just FYI: There's no sink for washing dishes at the camp. 2) BATHROOMS: The bathrooms were very clean and smelled nice when we arrived on Friday but by Sunday they really stunk and there were a couple of times without toiletpaper - overall still better than most campgrounds for sure! Not a big deal imo (because I'm camping afterall!) but just a heads-up!

Very nice campground, conveniently located near Lake Tahoe. Clean, pleasant location next to the Truckee River

A perfect site close enough to hear the river at night and far enough from the road. Awesome spot!

Beautiful spot a stone’s throw from the river; weather was perfect at mid 40s in the morning and mid 80s in the afternoon. Wonderful outdoor experience!
