"It is RV/Camper, tent & dog friendly. Though there are very few "tent only" sites.
They have non-flushing restrooms with TP!"
"The campground is in a beautiful setting, easy to get to, and right off the Highway."
$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"

"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."
"Right next to the water, and close to town. Cell phone reception. is spotty ."
$20 / night
"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
"The spaces are a good size but kinda close to one another. Rangers are friendly and often stop by just to see how things are going. Currently there's a fire ban but they do have fire pits."
"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!"
$42 - $118 / night
"Yes, we were on the back end, so as far from the lake as you could be, and yes there are cabins that butt up to some of the sites."
"The sites were large considering the prime Tahoe location - we had plenty of space for our 9x8ft tent. "
$20 / night
"Either way, it's slightly off the beaten path, in a good way. No highway noise, and a quick trek on foot or by car will take you to Martis Creek Lake right behind the campgrounds. "
"Nice trails nearby. Fishing in Martis Creek Reservoir."
$15 - $30 / night
"Nice campground situated close to the shores of Washoe Lake. Great amenities; picnic tables, fire pits and shade structures at many of the campsites."
"Very dog friendly. Some nice hikes nearby. Will go back!"
GuideThe name is tricky, but it seems to be officially Alpine Meadow... but also Martis Creek. Either way, it's slightly off the beaten path, in a good way. No highway noise, and a quick trek on foot or by car will take you to Martis Creek Lake right behind the campgrounds.
The sites themselves are large, and the ones on the far end of the park open up to the field between the grounds and the lake, yet every site is in the trees, keeping it a bit cooler in the summer (even a little chilly at night... in late May it got down in the 30s).
The one bathroom building is clean and easy to access, since the grounds are pretty small. No host to be seen while we were there... we could of had our pick of open sites, if we didn't have reservations.
The campground is right near the Truckee airport, but the trees act like a buffer for whatever noise the small aircraft make. We saw them, but didn't seem to notice any obtrusive noise from them.
GuideThis campground is in town but still is a great place to stop. Has nice dog park, great hookups. Close to the Sparks marina if you want to walk, but we were here for the Nugget rib cook-off. Just not sure on the all the rules as it seems some are followed some you can ignore.
TravelerGorgeous spot. Park undergoing renovations and roads a little tight but all in all a beautiful park. Great dog park
TravelerThe area is nice, it is not near the lake but the lake is only a small drive away. The place is crowded and they pack you in here, but our site (113) was a nice place in the corner. There are much better sites with more room near the dog park if you are looking for more space.
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.
GuideWe came into south lake to visit family. This campground is right in town but there’s enough space and trees to give it a natural setting. Bathrooms are great and it’s pretty quiet considering it’s popular. Looks great for families and there’s a dog park, pool and trails.
ScoutWe broke a jack and the maintenance workers were incredibly helpful in getting a tool we needed to fix it. The park is clean and has multiple very clean dog parks. We will stop again.
ScoutIt’s a nice park with a store and lots of things to do (pool, tennis court, etc) but we preferred a campground down the road for cheaper for the views of the lake. It’s dirt here so be prepared for everything to get dirty or muddy! We paid for the 5.2gb wifi since ours is having trouble connecting. I’d stay here again but wasn’t my favorite, I liked the general store a lot, cute gifts and things! They do have a really big dog park which we loved too, the dogs also seemed to love it!
GuideGreat location if you want to be near Costco and the capital city. Great views of the Sierras and the Carson valley. Sites are narrow, about twice the width of your RV, and separated by chain link fencing. But all sites are perfectly flat, paved pull-throughs; easy in, easy out parking. Also electric, water, sewer hookup, cable and strong wifi and cell service. Sites are gravel, but the campground has nice grassy dog parks, clean bathrooms and laundry, and well-stocked store with propane refill. Pool and fishing pond were closed but looked great. We were there in early April 2021; with our binoculars we could see skiers at the top of Heavenly Mountain ski area!
