This small camping area backs up to
100,000 acres of Tahoe National forest. You can walk to a restaurant with regular bathrooms and wifi. Here we have out door compost toilet and cold out door shower. ATM we are nothing special. Lots of cool things to do minutes from here, but we mainly boast a safe place to park on your journey. Historic and epic rock climbing is minutes from your campsite. Also there are 4 ski destinations less then 20 minutes from us. fishing lakes can be hiked to. Quads, snow mobiles, xcountry skiing, hiking, downhill and horse back riding can all happen without getting back on the freeway.
September 1, 2023. In and effort to make stayovers more comfortable, Site 4 and 5 are being removed and site 6 is being modified to host a full time 34Ft RV available for nightly use.
This isn’t any type of r.v. park or camping spot. It’s basically a small rocky patch of dirt just off of a road. It is in a beautiful area but I could have pulled into a highway turn out and had the same experience. There was also piles of cut wood. Looked to be like some side gig. Along with the piles of wood there was also large piles of building materials such as concrete, old structures all over and looked to be some kind of storage area for old cars, trailers etc.. sorry for such a negative response but I don’t want anyone else to get duped like I did.
Super welcoming hosts to a great little spot convenient to rt 80 with great tree views across the meadow. The whole "campground" was pretty small but it seems like they keep on adding amenities and sites. Nice relaxed vibe. We drove to nearby lakes to play
When we arrived there was no one to help us so we took a walk. It looked like an abandoned RV site. There were two what looked like permanent motorhomes. We finally found the sign with a 5 and it and it was attached to the side of the outhouse bathroom. There was a plug no way to park close enough to it to not block the other 2 motorhomes there. When the hosts did finally come around they said they were “sorting things out” - like changes, and we could just go park in another site and would have to have brought a long extension cord with us. Since we lived a couple hours away we decided to go back home. It was unacceptable and when we asked for our $75 back through the app we only got $30 back. The host knew we were not being offered an electric site like we paid for and still did not refund us. That’s just not right.
I was very grateful to find this layover on our trip west. The host was incredibly response, like INSTANTLY!, to all questions and helpful. If you have a BIG rig (my TT is just 20') it could be challenging to navigate, but no problem for me at our size. And I saw a shooting star! :-D
