Was there when we needed it!

Once again we found ourselves on the weekend of our road trip and because we didn't have a plan of where exactly we would be on a certain day- we failed to stay in Lake Tahoe. However- this place was only 50 minutes away! It was perfectly quiet and private- tons of trees for hamocking and even had a nice lake across the street! We very much enjoied our time at this campsite and in Tahoe!
