Great location good price

I stayed one night in my 19 foot travel trailer. The spots aren’t big enough for much larger rigs. Lots of tint campers as well. Nice location. You can walk down to the lake Forest boat ramp and there’s a beach where you can go swimming it’s only 2 miles from Tahoe city $30 a night no hook up and porta potties but a great location.
