Campsite was clean and quiet.

@JeffreyW413498 · Camped on Aug 13, 2024 at Campsite #9

This is an excellent little campground. After camping there I understand why it is booked most of the time. It was very clean, loved the campsite with the large pad with 2 picknick tables and paved parking spots. The host was very helpful and friendly.

We come every year with 5-7 teardrop trailers. we always have a great time as in the heat of summer, it is 20 degrees cooler than Reno.

@SharonH5098220 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #6

Perfect other then the one or two folks who feel the need to run their generators right up to 10pm. It be nice if we can have quiet time from 8-10 to enjoy the amazing peacefulness of the wilderness.

@CarlB2043472 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #10

Mark, the host, was exceptionally good. The camp is very clean. There are great trails near by for hiking.

@CaroleS5664624 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #15

The camp host does a great job keeping the campground up. The campground is peaceful, clean, and attractive.

@EllenA9604537 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #10

Delightful stay. Much cooler temperatures than Reno. Did some nice hikes.

@NonaP8487287 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #8

Very nice campground- well maintained. My site was down several steps from the parking space for my RV. That was a bit awkward. It was too hot for a campfire, but this fire ring did not have a rack top for cooking. There was a separate grill tho.

@RichardF767024 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #12

Campsite 12. Excellent location and relatively level.

@BrianR3295011 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #11

Super clean, quiet campground. Beautiful views!

@CadenceM76BA8A · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #14

Great stay at this favorite campsite. Host is friendly but not obtrusive and does an absolutely fantastic job of keeping the restrooms clean.

@BethB9210736 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #7

Beautiful mountain top location with easy access to hike to the Galena waterfalls or up to Mt. Rose summit....in addition to a number of trails that can be quieter, with fewer people. Views of Lake Tahoe on nearby trails. The campground itself was well maintained, as were the rest rooms. Campground hosts were polite and had firewood stacked, available to those who want a campfire at night. Reservations are necessary for many nights - especially weekends or holidays. The hike in tent sites have some of the best views. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely, local campground, and the camp hosts are FANTASTIC. Andrew Connectt & Ashley keep the sites and the restrooms immaculate. Hope that they return next year. We have one complaint, & that is that Rec.gov needs to enforce the access to handicapped sites & not allow non-handicapped people use them. Specifically, site #12 at Mount Rose. Hopefully handicapped signs & numbers will be required information on the Rec.gov website when people choose a camp spot. I am handicapped & have had difficulty with this. Thank you.

@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #16

The host is great and keeps the campground very clean.

@HeatherP910905 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #13

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.

What a gorgeous campground! Loved hiking to Galena Falls! A great stay!!

@RalphG03F10232 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #5

very nice

@SarahG7471679 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #2

This is such a great camping spot in Tahoe. It has access to so many amazing hikes, and it is one of the best well kept and clean campsites I have ever been to. The staff is super helpful, nice and very approachable. The campsites feel like they are hidden in the woods, and it is quiet with beautiful views. The toilets are kept clean and there is great running water.

@KaterinaJ2D63A · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #18

Andrew the host is doing an exceptional job taking care of this amazing place. Everything is clean and wonderful!

@beckys6325177 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #3

Beautiful and well-kept campground on the summit of Mt. Rose. Cool temps were a welcome respite after our trek through the desert to get there! Took a nice hike on the interpretive loop from the campground.

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #3

Large clean site however you have to carry items up stairs to get to picnic tables, bear box and fire pit. Cell service with AT&T was very good at three bars of 5G. Very clean campground with excellent site host.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
