This is a huge campground, with a variety of camping sites, near enough to Lake Tahoe for activities but far enough away to avoid the massive crowds of east Lake Tahoe. The spots appear to be large enough to comfortably give you space, but close enough that if you come with a group you can hangout easily. Reservations, early, are a must as it does fill up.

Our family loved this campground so much that we agreed we're only interested in going back to Lake Tahoe when we can stay here! There are a bunch of cul-de-sacs, so everything is spaced out and it's great for walking the dogs around. We backed up to a meadow but still had a lot of trees for shade. There were picnic tables, water, good fire rings, bear boxes, and flush toilets.

We walked to Fallen Leaf lake, which has an awesome trail. We had a bear wander into our camp in the afternoon, and the meadow was struck by lightning. All in all a great trip! Just note: cell reception is spotty but it's a good excuse to put down the phone and enjoy the scenery!
