"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."
$22 - $44 / night
"The campground is in a beautiful setting, easy to get to, and right off the Highway."
"Nice campsite located right on Highway 89, 1 mile from Truckee and a short drive to Tahoe City. Right on the Truckee River and has 68 family sites and 7 walk in sites."
$20 / night
"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 ."
"It was late and we couldn't find the owner so we ended up staying outside the park on the road. The manager got things worked out in the morning and refunded our money for the night before."
"Close to Truckee, a very nice looking rv park, plenty of nice size spots surrounded by trees. Quiet and well maintained.
This is the one to stay at when visiting Tahoe-Donner."
"Year round camping with a convenient location."

"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."
$26 - $151 / night
"Miles of trail systems for all skill levels that start from the campground. The town of Truckee is a 10 minute drive away for all supplies, dining, and tourist attractions/activities."
"We were here for 3 nights, a beautiful area with lots of trails around, a nice and very well maintained campground and very friendly host. Close to Truckee which is a cute town. We'll be back!"
$30 / night
"Easy access right off the freeway but tucked into trees so you don't hear any road noise. Nice hiking trails, clean restrooms and very nice staff. Well maintained!"
"This is relaxing and very quiet area but next to the hwy. Nosie at night. Ranger is very cool. But nice spot"
$42 - $118 / night
"The sites were large considering the prime Tahoe location - we had plenty of space for our 9x8ft tent. "
"Conveniently located within walking distance of a lot of different places. Beautiful campground. Only enough parking for one car per a spot. Decent bathrooms."
"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."
ScoutThe camp spot is great for an overnight camp spot when driving on I-80. Easy to get to, quiet enough. Not a recreation destination.
ScoutCute campground if you are not looking for a quiet in-nature experience. The highway noise is dominant!
ScoutEasy to find. Nice space. Bathroom and trash and even a shower. Dump station if needed. Very dog friendly. Some nice hikes nearby. Will go back!
ScoutNice Quite kos campground clean and neat
GuideCampground was easy to find and access right off the road. Check in was a Lil off, as the main store/office is actually across the street. When we tried to check at the campground the worker their acted like she didn't really want to be working? And gave an unhelpful direction to the right place.
It is a bit louder than you would hope do to being close to the highway. Also, no dogs are allowed on the beach which was a bummer, but I assume was for wildlife preservation, or preventing landmines.
TravelerDrove a long way to come to this campsite, but it was closed for some reason. The area is gorgeous though!
TravelerThe drive was nice once you get past the burn scar. There was no one around so it was peaceful and the weather was decent. There are just a few spots but plenty of room for trailer parking. There is a bathroom and bear box. Pack it in and out for trash.
TravelerWe arrived at the turnout pinpointed on the app. It is about the size of a tennis court, maybe smaller. There are some large ruts on one side. (See photo)We went up the road to the Red Rock Trail. There is dispersed camping on both sides of the. I would recommend walking in before you drive it. We had no trouble getting with our 32ft trailer and 4x4. The spot was great. A short hike to the base of the canyon. I will say the hike up is steep and lots of loose dirt.
GuideNice paved RV Park away from the bustle of the casino but close enough to walk over for a meal. They are remodeling the hotel but we can’t hear anything inside our RV. The laundry room is decent size with 8 washers and 8 dryers, everything is in working order. The bathrooms are clean with 4 showers, 4 toilets, and 4 sinks, all clean and tidy. There is a tree between each camp site but they appear to be trimmed up enough for taller RV’s to still fit; the trees are just leafing out and will be welcome shade this summer.
