Campground Reviews

Apr 15, 2024
Campground was a mess. There was tons of drama with management and people living in camp. Very disappointed
Apr 15, 2024
Had a great time, and due to snow there was only 1 other camper so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. The store was closed and we had full hook ups so we didn't need to use the onsite facilities so we couldn't review them. The camp host Emery was very nice and helpful. He checked in with us and made sure we had a great time.

I appreciate that the park had been affected by a recent snow storm but the guy was grumpy on arrival; no explanation of facilities (not that there was much open due to the storm). I feel that they should either declared themselves closed or a substantial discount should have been offered. $120 for what??!! Not a great stay. We were happy to leave early.

There's a mouse living in the cabin before us, they shouldn't be renting out the cabin in that condition. The management and the employees should remedy the situation before letting guests stay in the cabin, not expected this for the money they are charged us for a night.

Very dog friendly. It has everything we need

I do appreciate that we were able to modify our stay to only one night and we got a refund for the second night. This KOA location is under renovations and should not be advertised as open until the work is completed.

Run down, lights not working, toaster oven out dated and nasty, no microwave, refrigerator out dated, coffee pot was dirty (nasty), dishes drying in a dish rack in sink, no curtains in places. All KOA’s we have stayed at in the past have been exceptional.

It was probably the worst KOA experience we have had. Everything was in disrepair. The amenities weren't like other KOAs. The price was double what it normally is. The wifi didn't work and our water wasn't turned on. When we tried calling about our water, nobody answered and nobody ever got back to us. A couple of positives: bathrooms were heated, they did have nice showers and they greeted us.

We stayed toward the end of the season so the park was nearly empty of campers and staff. We like the lack of campfire smoke. It is a nice older park in the pines. Our site was by the creek. The roads are tight for parking rigs. WiFi was ineffective, but there is cell reception. The hookups worked well. We enjoyed being close to the Tahoe area.

Very nice. I like the way it is kept fairly natural

This park is poorly maintained. The facilities (such as the laundry room) were not clean and half of the machines were not working. The trash dumpsters were full. The campsite was not clean. Our campstove was stuffed with rubbish, including a used surgical glove that I would not touch with a ten foot pool. Management was friendly but I am convinced they are not doing their job.

We paid ridiculous overnight cost of $92, but needed a shower. We have stayed at KOA’s 3x before & had awesome experiences. We got naked…no water! We went to next shower, no water…3rd, no water! My husband went into men’s bathroom, toilets full of crap. No water to flush toilets. We never got our shower! Hands down this is only bad experience of our trip. Asked for refund, they said no

Great spot outside Lake Tahoe! You can tell the new owners are working hard to get this park back into top shape. Well-maintained sites, quiet, river is beautiful, location can't be beat! Spots are tight and laundry/wifi left a bit to be desired, but very soon they're going to have this place in awesome shape all around and it won't be beat! Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We really enjoyed the campground and look forward to seeing it continue to improve as the team brings it back up to koa specs.

The campground needs allot of work and they have switched to off season staffing, so the staff is only available by phone. They were in town when I arrived at 3:00 on a Saturday. I waited 45 minutes to be registered.

Campsite and amenities were nice enough. It is the proximity to hwy 50 that is the main issue - very busy, very noisy. We slept okay, but it was not like you were "out in the woods" while hanging around camp. More like "hanging out next to an interstate".

Very nice place to stay. The young man that checked us in was very helpful, courteous and pleasant. We will be back!
Oct 13, 2023
Nice place with potential, not yet up to the standards we are used from most KOAs.
Oct 12, 2023
WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Over $380 for TWO nights. Freeway noise. Littered and dirty. Hard to negotiate the sites. Office never open.
Oct 11, 2023
Only saw a person that appeared to be in maintenance. He called someone and found out our site # and took us there. Never saw another person and store/ office ever opened that evening or next morning.
Oct 11, 2023
Overall nice campground. Restrooms are nice and clean. Some of the sites are very tight and little hard to get in, some narrow roads and camp is very dark at night.
Oct 10, 2023
Had to beg to get 1 shower open had to ask for to to be put in restroom dumpster over flowing sites small and close although I guess that’s pretty much the norm at KOA very expensive and really not worth it at all will think long and hard before I stay at another KOA

Older campground with 30 amp only, but with cool weather worked fine for us. Sites were difficult to get into but employee helped to guide us in. Close to the road with traffic noise. If I visited the area again I would explore other options, but would stay here again if only sites available.
Oct 09, 2023
hello KOA, basic facilities very very poor condition… to begin with office permanently closed… park looks a parking lot where everyone takes care of himself without guidance of office staff (there’s no staff) zzz did not feel welcome…from time to time the park responsible shows up (permanently on the phone) and it’s then time to ask what you need… before you know he’s gone again… v

This park is located in a beautiful spot but the bathrooms, showers etc. are in major need of repair. Probably won’t be staying here again especially because of the price when so many things need repair.
Oct 08, 2023
Showers didn’t work Laundry not available Store always closed as was reception Spot not available even though empty Did get another spot Trash receptacles overflowing

It was a beautiful park with large sites. Manager was very friendly when we saw him. But the office/store was always locked our entire stay and the pool (unnecessary in the cold weather) had algae filled water and lots of mosquitos

We were in 221 right along/above the creek, we could hear the water which was soothing. Nice scenery/serenity. Good for the soul.
Oct 06, 2023
This is a new KOA and after the upgrades they want to do it will be an even better camping experience than it is now. It is a beautiful and convenient location.
Oct 03, 2023
No one was there. Arrived at 2 and started calling . No one ever answered. The campsites were nice, the location along the busy highway 50 ruined any chance of peacefulness.
Oct 02, 2023
Beautiful spot. Friendly helpful staff. Clean bathrooms. Only suggestion: put a change machine in the laundry or get the app. It's weirdly difficult to get quarters in S. Lake Tahoe!
Oct 01, 2023
Nice but not for big rigs. Had only one or 2 good sites for big rigs. Very very tight maneuvering thru the park. KOA was nice for smaller campers or tents.
Oct 01, 2023
We were only able to stay one night, but it was a lovely treed spot. The staff that we interacted with were all very friendly and pleasant. We would definitely stay again!

Great stay for us. The park is good, but very tight.

Nice people. Pretty site. Clean bathrooms.

Campground was not staffed all day on Friday and Saturday. Felt creepy. Laundry room washers and dryers were full of the same bedding items for the three days we were there. We were shoehorned into a very tight site and there were plenty of other available sites. No idea why. Bathrooms need a rehab. Wish we stayed nearer the lake for less money. This campground is not up to KOA level.

Nice location, little pricey for the facilities. But did the job

Great place to make base camp. Yes, close to Hwy 50 traffic noise, but we had a creek in our backyard that drowned out that. One of the few KOAs that have plenty of space between spots. Don’t listen to those negative reviews; if you want less expensive and seclusion go to a casino hotel.

The upper bed is too small only could be used for a child, it’s small for 6 people as they advertised, it’s clean. They should be more specific where to leave the key when, you leave. The check out time could be increased to one more hour since, the check in is at 3 pm it doesn’t make sense to me. It’s a small place for 6 or 5 people. But overall we made it and enjoyed.

I arrived without a reservation. Liz was very nice and accommodating. She gave me a nice site and Emery escorted me to my spot. He was also very friendly. The showers and restrooms were very clean. Thanks for all you do.

The threshold to the office should be marked… trip hazard! As my husband and myself tripped. Some improvements could be made… sites are very tight and close. Some are difficult to get to, and work on getting cable. However the Wi-Fi is excellent!
Sep 19, 2023
Nice location. The sites were a little crammed together and not alot of level sites. Cable lines were run to the sites, but no cable. Pool was there but no usable. Please looked a little run down, and for the price not impressed.
Sep 18, 2023
I was pleasantly surprised by the speedy wifi. We were right next to the store, but we were seeing internet download speeds of 125Mbps. This was nice in the evening when our kiddo wanted to watch a movie on Netflix before bed. Sites were nice although there is some road noise from 50.
Sep 18, 2023
Perfect spot and great site. Very well maintained, very clean and easy to get in and out of the grounds.
Sep 18, 2023
Lovely campground. Friendly staff. Needs better signage on the highway.
Sep 17, 2023
KOA needs to get 50amp back online. Put a pool cover over pool until you get it repaired or replaced, it looks bad. Place signage close to entrance on Highway.

Fantastic Campground. There is a wild and scenic river that flows through the campground. Might even see a Bear or two. Very friendly staff. Excellent customer service. Conveniently located off a main road. A must stay!

Amazing experience driving through HWY 50 and meeting the Blizzard ( Mother nature). I enjoyed tremendously the masterpiece she was composing. Caltrans did a fabulous job clearing the road, and the collaboration between people was amazing.

Absolutely great time tent camping with the kids and dogs in the snow. The service was a 10/10. Would recommend.
