We were lucky to get a FF spot and spent three nights. Clean restrooms and campground. Super easy access to the lake from this site where you can paddle board and kayak in peace.
We were traveling along the Oregon coast and then needed to divert inland to the Portland airport and continue north to Tacoma for a wedding reception. Not far off I-5, this place was gorgeous. Tall trees, lush foliage, immaculately maintained. As others have noted, the sites with hook-ups across the road on the east side are for large trailers and not as picturesque. To the west are these beautiful sites, facilities, and walking trails. In the morning, we hiked the old growth loop prior to resuming our journey. Be aware, Google Maps says you enter off of Park Road, but that is incorrect. The entrance is on Jackson Highway.
Spent two nights here away from everything. Snow on the surrounding mountains, giant white pelicans in the marshes. We felt like immigrants crossing the Nevada desert in a covered wagon (actually our custom built Ram Promaster adventure van). Great get away.
We stayed for two nights in late September. Never saw any camp host, other campers were complaining that toilets had not been serviced. Bear boxes had a lot of natural debris inside. Overall, the place needs a little attention. Rangers we’re working hard to remind people of no campfires, conditions too dangerous currently. That said, the area is beautiful and well worth the visit. Road through the campground was dirt with a few rocks to maneuver around, but no problem with clearance. Picnic tables were in good shape as were the bear boxes. Most sites had a combination shade and sun with tall pines. Best if you are self-contained. Great hiking all around, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing. Great area to relax.
This 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.
The camp sites have a large cement pad which contains a large picnic table with benches, BBQ, and a fire pit. The area in each site for tents is incredibly level and nicely bordered. Additionally, the toilets (pit) and toilet rooms are exceptionally clean. This year’s camp hosts keep the entire camp ground very clean. Some sites are close to each other, but that’s good if you have another set of friends/family with you.
