ScoutHad to check out a few spots to get WiFi AT&T one bar the sun set are awesome can see colors in the sky for a good two hour
ScoutIt's really hard to get more information or pictures of the camp. Obviously, the page is setup to the Dyrt application and must be downloaded into your phone.
You are not going to get any information if you don't do that. Disgusting how they are trying to get money no matter what.
GuideIf you like to fish and hike this is a lovely place. Pro-tip: the spot next to the camp host is the best. The ones down the hill by the river are smaller, dark and cold.
ScoutLove the water station
GuideGravel drives, concrete pads, close together, small grass areas. Great staff, and the Wi-Fi worked (my last four campgrounds advertised Wi-Fi, and it worked at the office, but not at my campsite). Close to town, with town having many multiples of options for food, groceries, etc. Nice for the couple of nights I was there. Road noise can be loud at times.
TravelerWake up with the Little Truckee River a stones throw from your window. Bear boxes because we are in bear country.
Ample space, lots to explore in the area.
ScoutFirst come first serve sites although plenty, fill up fast. Luckily there is a lot of Dispersed camping all the way around the lake! So beautiful, and the lake is really warm in the summer
ScoutStayed for 2 nights, there was no person available to make reservations or talk to about anything. Also they are charging a ridiculous price and advertising there is wifi but the wifi has no internet.
ScoutVery peaceful setup with a good distance between campsites. Perfect if you want to bike the wonderful trails nearby.
