Lake Tahoe is such a beautiful place and Emerald bay is probably one of the most beautiful. I got a bit lost when just exploring the campground area and noticed there wasn't a bad spot in the whole camp area. Some have water view others didn't, ours simi-did.

Things I loved about this campground.

• Showers with hot water! ( you do have to pay for the shower a dollar per 3 minute. You need cash to get tokens for the shower room.) *Clean bathrooms that flush.
• Large sinks at the restroom area to clean dishwear
• Water pump so u can douse your fire easily. Just need your own bucket. *bear box
• picnic table
• tall fire pit with half grate
• platform for tent areas. *cute little beach that a quarter of a mile walk. ( my friend and I took down our inflatable kayaks and paddled to the Island. It was a huge plus that added to our trip and loving this campground)

Things I didn't like

• Campsite very close together
• the platform for the tents. Even though it's cute it if your tents not the "right" size you end up needing to get inventive.
• one car only in most spots *

Our trip was so amazing when we visited this camp site. We went opal mining and this campsites are right there at the entrance. It was so convent and beautiful. My favorite things about this spot.

• the view
• the fact that this is a free site and they still have bathrooms.
• the shower ( it's not temperature controlled and in a creepy spider webbed filled barn thing. But I totally loved that it added to the experience.)
• the little pod! So wonderful after a day in the sun mining. Things I didn't like
• it's right in the valley the wind was CRAZY! almost blew over the tent. We had to put everything in the tent to keep it down. It was also INCREDIBLY difficult to get the fire started because of the wind. With all the fire starters we had it took us a long time to get the logs to catch because the wind kept changing and putting it out.
• be aware some people drive ATV, motorcycles and stuff around the camp area.
• the ducks or what ever screaming all night. Normally I love the sound of nature at night but it sounded like people were murdering ducks all night. It was a bit much. *
