"Lake is calm, but it was too windy to set up the tent. Overnight temps in the 30's for Memorial weekend. Few trees, little shade. Lots of off road vehicles and RVs, but not a lot of noise from them."
"the lake is a great swimming temp in june, the views are gorgeous, and there’s plenty of trees and shade. i was lucky to have the spot i was in because there was plenty of foliage to keep my site fairly"
$23 - $75 / night
"Right next to the water, and close to town. Cell phone reception. is spotty ."

"Two of them have quick walking access to the lake. One is situated between. Most campsites are large."
"Nice state park right next to the Donner Memorial Site and Donner Lake. We were in site 133 which was not the easiest site to get in with a trailer."
"Nestled against the Eastern Sierras, on the Cal/Nev. border. Restaurant in the casino temp."
"The units themselves were a little tight (except the ADA one) and even though there were hooks, there was a round stool instead of a bench. The shower had good water pressure and hot water."

This is the one to stay at when visiting Tahoe-Donner."

"Be aware that there might be bear that get close to your sleeping quarters as the area is full of them. I was never scared, but my son swore that he saw one while he was going to bed."
"We selected this CG for its boondocking and proximity to Lake Tahoe. There was no water available so we filled our trailer tank and two 5gal containers."
ScoutViews are unreal but would not suggest walking barefoot, tent camping or bringing dogs up here. The bottoms of our shoes looked like a warzone and when we laid down in our tents we were pricked by goatheads. Opted to sleep in the front seat of our Forester 😂
2wd or RV would be tough but perhaps doable depending on the driver. Tough road for sure
RangerThe Crocker Guard House is available by reservation only through Recreation.gov.
The Crocker Campground is not part of the Crocker Guard House, the campground offers pit toilets, tables and fire rings, no trash service or water, pack in pack out. It is first come first serve.
LegendThe staff here gets the first shout out. Lana Banana and Mary at the front create a real pleasant atmosphere as you roll in. I camped here twice already this year and once a while back. The rest of the staff (shout out Martin) and the rangers who advise on bears like Cinnamon* are all great.
Pros:
Cons:
The lake, oh my, maybe the most beautiful lake in the entire Tahoe region. It isn't as big, but it is flat like glass, deep, and crystal clear. It is cold as an icicle–colder. Cold as a frozen heifers nose. That's probably a saying somewhere. Either way, bring a hammock. Bring a paddleboard (which will get checked for invasives), and bring yourself ready to relax.
Great hiking. Chill vibes. I can't recommend this spot enough. Compared to the parking lot style campgrounds or resorts throughout Tahoe-region, this is really camping and the rates are low comparatively, though not low, actually. $48/night. There are a few yurts if you go for that sort of thing.
TravelerSuper clean site, friendly park rangers, and loved the easy hike down to the private beach. We encountered a mama bear and her 2 cubs quite a few times but everyone worked together to make noises. I do wish there was a better system in place to help orient the bears back into the forest. All the noise did was scare them into walking in circles all around the campground.
ScoutFirst off, the spots are not 40ft. A truck and a small RPod would be lucky to fit comfortably. Anything larger, is a huge NO. The spots themselves are rundown and look abandoned. Piles of wood and downed trees are everywhere, in every site. We had to move piles just to get in the spot. The fire pits are busted and half dug into the ground. And bear boxes are hit or miss. Your site could have none or you could get lucky and have two!
TravelerCampground is small, not trailer friendly. The Yuba River is close-by and is a great place to cool off. Moderate noise from the freeway. There are bear boxes in most sites.
ScoutThere are some sites that are nice and wide giving you room from your neighbors and there are some sites like the one we had that left 1 foot of separation. We had respectful neighbors so it was not an issue. We were unable to pull out our awnings due to trees. Our front space is shared with our other neighbor so be nice haha. They have great staff here. Nice place to hub for Donner Lake or one of the other lakes in the close proximity.
GuideThere are a few sites about 4 miles back on an unmaintained road. The first turn off has the best view with somewhat flat ground for a tent. Very rocky ground and a little windy so ground tents might be tough. RTT and campervans are perfect for this spot!
ScoutQuiet clean campground with host. Some sites are by creek. Some by the road but the ride is higher up in elevation. There is a swim hole nearby. Road in is paved. Cool and convenient campground. There are separate grills in addition to fire rings.
