No Show Policy A no-show customer is one who does not arrive at a campground and does not cancel the reservation by check-out time on the day after the scheduled arrival date (or for day-use facilities, by check-in time the day of arrival). * No-show customers are only recorded at staffed facilities. At most remote facilities, all customers are noted as automatically checked-in on the date of arrival. * It is recommended that staffed facilities hold a campsite until check-out time on the day following the arrival date. * It is recommended that staffed facilities hold group day-use facilities until check-in time on the arrival date. There is no change fee if a customer extends or shortens a reservation if the change includes dates from the original reservation. If they choose to depart early, they may forfeit some or all of the recreation fees. There is no change fee if the customer changes campsites that are the same price and on the same reservation dates in the same campground. If the campsite the customer is changing to has a price difference, the customer will be responsible for any additional fees or be provided with a refund, based on the price difference. Where recorded, no-show customers are assessed a $20.00 no-show fee and forfeit the first night's recreation fee for a campsite or forfeit the entire day-use recreation fee for a day-use facility. We recommend customers contact the facility if they are en route to their reservation but cannot make it by the check-in date. In these cases, no refund will be issued, but the facility can ensure that a "no-show" fee is not assessed.

Everstoke is a mountain biker's paradise, with 8 tent / van / trailer campsites available and several of miles of really fun, hand built singletrack, including LOTS of challenging features on our 91 acres… and we've got lots more trail to build!
In addition to campsites, we also have an awesome "tiny home" for those more into the comforts of "glamping". It has a master private bedroom (queen bed), and two lofts that have a queen on one loft and two twin beds on the other loft. It has a fully stocked kitchen, private bathroom with flushing toilet, shower and sink. An AC/heat unit keeps temps exactly how you like them.
Regular campers have access to running water, a flushing toilet, a community kitchen area (grills, tables and some cooking/eating utensils), in addition to a community campfire ring, two "cool down" tubs to soak in, and a fun bike skills area at the base of Everstoke.
Everstoke is located in the heart of the Lost Sierra. We're a short walk away from the beloved Brewing Lair, and super close to other world class riding and hiking trails in Lakes Basin, Downieville, Quincy (Mt. Hough), Mills Peak, and Beckworth Peak.

William Kent Campground is conveniently located on Lake Tahoe's west shore, a few miles south of Tahoe City. It straddles the highway and features not only a large area in which to camp, but also a day-use area that is popular among visitors.
Just minutes away from the campground, 22-mile-long Lake Tahoe provides sunbathing, swimming, boating and water skiing. Anglers can look forward to healthy fish populations of kokanee salmon and mackinaw, rainbow and brown trout. The campground is also ideal for people planning a full day of bike riding around Lake Tahoe. Bike trails that traverse the western shores of Lake Tahoe begin near the campground.
William Kent Campground is situated in a residential area, alongside a busy highway. The campground has more than 80 sites, each surrounded by tall pine, cedar and fir trees. Many of the sites are secluded with evergreen shrubs and the terrain, with its shallow gullies and low ridges, helps to keep each site separate from neighboring sites.
A day-use area is located across the street from the campground for lake access and other water activities. Tahoe City is less than 5 miles away.
This location has limited staffing. Please call (530) 541-1537 for general information.

It was a great RV park to stay at in Graeagle, California. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is great. The town is only 1 mile from the RV park and you can easily walk there. I highly recommend the Graeagle Outpost for coffee, ice cream, and more.
It would be even better if there was more space between each RV spot. It feels like your neighbor is right there in your business all the time. They put up fences to give some semblance of privacy but it doesn't really help because they are only partial fences.

Keystone RV Park is a top choice for travelers, offering clean facilities, spacious sites, and friendly staff in a peaceful setting near local attractions. old age homes Nelspruit provide essential care for the elderly, including comfortable accommodations, medical support, and social activities, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment with compassionate staff.

I went to Everstoke a week ago. Based on my camping experience here, I would suggest to those who intend to come here to experience some camping styles. Traditional campers can choose from spacious tent sites where they can pitch their own tent, 2 player games and enjoy a rustic camping experience. For those looking for a touch of luxury, there are luxury accommodations, offering comfortable and stylish tents equipped with amenities like cozy beds, private bathrooms and even fire pits.
Scout
Came up for tonights for a family reunion. Great location and great store that had basic needs. Views overlooking the cemetery were pretty cool. Would stay again.
TravelerI've been visiting and camping at Everstoke frequently since Brian (BKXC on YouTube) and Aaron (MTB'ing Adventures on YouTube) purchased the 91 acres a couple years ago. What an undertaking it has been! But 2 years later, they and hard working friends have created something very unique, in a truly fantastic location! You just have to experience it to believe it. Seriously.
Besides being able to build fun trails, and then riding those trails, my favorite things about Everstoke are the campsites nestled in the trees, without another campsite or 3 right next to me. I really enjoy the hang out area, meeting other guests and trading stories about where we rode, where everyone is from, and giving people suggestions for hitting all the other epic trails in the area. And it truly doesn't hurt that Everstoke is right next door to one of the coolest breweries I've ever visited (The Brewing Lair).
Four of my friends stayed in the "tiny house" during the Everstoke Enduro on 9/17/23 and were very stoked on it. Please let your not-so-campy friends know there's a great non-camping option at Everstoke that has all you need but the food and drinks you will consume!
Lastly, Everstoke has only just begun. I think there are about 10 miles of riding on the property currently, and that's only on the bottom third of the 91 acres. So much more fun to be built up higher on the property! If you have ideas for trails and features, come on out and make them a reality!
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to welcome this new listing to our platform. Check them out and come back here to leave them some love!
GuideMovin west is perfect being so close to town and the brewery ronin is a short bike ride away
ScoutCalled and they are long term only

Spent a great couple of night here in June. Some of the sites back onto cabins and we were worried they would be noisy at night, but we didn't hear a thing.
The hosts and rangers were really friendly and helpful. The sites were large considering the prime Tahoe location - we had plenty of space for our 9x8ft tent.
You can walk to a small beach from here, or go to Sunnyside bar + restaurant for lakeside food and drinks. Also walkable to Tahoe city, but I think cycling would be nicer.
Recommended!
ScoutCheck in was super easy with the host George escorting us to our site. We went with a group and we were close enough together for hanging out. Short walk to town for a morning of mini golf. Even though the park is close to the road, I didn't hear anything. Memorial day weekend George hosted camp-wide dinner of BBQ tri-tip and kielbasa. Was nice not to have to cook and it was delicious!
We had friends come for the day, no worries at all.
The kids scootered and rode bikes along the camp roads, and drivers were cautious and patient. The showers are extremely clean, private, and comfortable. Seems like everyone complied with "camp shower" guidelines as I had good water pressure and hot water for my short but satisfying shower.
The restrooms are equally clean. There was a vault toilet closer to our site, and they are cute and also extremely clean with good odor control and plenty of supplies.
We have already booked for next year!

Close to highway Quiet Easy pull in
TravelerIt was alright but kind of expensive
ScoutGreat place to stay and visit Virginia City
GuideThis was a quick getaway for us on a rainy weekend in September. It was delightfully quiet and in a beautiful area. The camp host, Judy, was welcoming and provided us great information about the area.
We even got in a nice bike ride into Tahoe City.
The hosts take great care of the campsite, I truly hope we get to return soon.
ScoutStayed at Couchland Rv park. Clean quite park with full hook ups. Not much to do at the RV park but we were out site seeing most the time anyways

I am a member of Thousand Trails and that being said this is one of my favorite TT spots in California. Family friendly, great little Lake for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. RV sites have partial hook ups.  Thousand Trails does not reserve campsites so it can be quite a scene to find a site especially in the summer. Only one dump station was open (there are 3) so waited 30 + minutes to dump, hopefully management is working on that… they do offer a honey wagon service for $40.00 available 2 times a week.
Guide
Got lucky and dodged smoke! Stayed at North Site 33 - if you have a trailer, use caution on the appx 100 foot back-in with about 10 feet between trees. Once in though… absolutely amazing. Sites were large & easy walk to lake. Dogs (and their humans) loved it. Sites are  large, you don’t feel like you’re on top of anyone. North campground has back in sites, west campground has pull through sites. North campground has easier/better lake access. Road in can be bumpy in places, but worth the drive.

We had great time at sardine lake campground. Great place for active families. Gorgeous view of sardine lake and sand pond in walking distance and lots of other lakes around the area.
ScoutThe area is well laid out with plenty of room. Nice hookups and area to dump if you’re not in a place.
Traveler
Friendly office staff made the check in process easy and enjoyable, the maintenance crew keep the grounds very clean and make you feel welcome.
ScoutI’ve been camping at Coachland since 2015. Year round camping with a convenient location.
ScoutHad a great time with family, everyone was friendly and helpful. CC # was stolen at same time reservation was made, unsure if it was related or not. Many activities to do in the area and being close to the river was great.
TravelerThis was where we went for our first outing with the travel trailer. The staff was very helpful. The dog park is AMAZING HUGE AND FENCED.
ScoutGreat lake for swimming and water play. Too warm for trout and too small for kayaks/SUPs. But it does make a beautiful backdrop.
The park is rather spread out, so a bicycle/ebike is a plus. And if you mountain bike, there's some decent trails close by to ride. There's also legit fishing lakes within about a 20 minute radius.
RV sites are mostly electric and water only, and many aren't anywhere near level. Nonetheless, I loved the place and will definitely go back. If you prefer parking lot RV parks though, go somewhere else.
Traveler
Definitely a great stay, big space, plenty of clean bathrooms, great camp store, and great hikes without having to leave the campground.

If the first place you think of when you hear “the Sierra Nevada mountains” is Tahoe or Yosemite, I would strongly encourage you to explore points north of Truckee/Tahoe in the Plumas National Forest. And, a great place to stay while exploring the area is Little Bear RV park. This clean, quiet, and very family friendly campground offers a mixture of full and partial hookup sites, plus cabins. It’s right on the Feather river, with a refreshing swimming hole walking distance from the campground. Plumas Eureka state park offers a number of hikes that even little ones can manage. It also has great picnic areas on the creeks that run through the park. Within a 30 minute drive are a number of gorgeous alpine lakes. Gold Lake is especially beautiful and peaceful. I spent 5 nights here and while I love the more “famous” Sierra attractions, I have to say: I didn’t miss the crowds. Plumas is what Tahoe was like in the 1950’s. Highly recommended.
ScoutVery nice staff. Campground always full. Long spaces but close back to back spaces. No store but Truckee is not far away. Very quiet and friendly campers. Clean and dog friendly. Lots of shade from tall pines. Easy access for big rigs and toad parking.
