Campground Reviews

Aug 27, 2024
The camp managers we very welcoming. The sites spacious and mostly level. We loved being in the woods and having the creek behind us. The KOA location was perfectly placed in between Echo Lake and South lake Tahoe. The bathrooms and laundry facilities were very well maintained and clean. We truly enjoyed our stay at this campground and hope to return in the future

Awesome place with great tent camping experience.

Great location~! Very nice sites.

The staff here is beyond wonderful. They made our stay exceptional by watching our little dog which allowed us to go on a scenic boat ride that didn’t allow pets. I can’t recommend this place enough.

The owners are very attentive and made special arrangements for parking our group of trailers. Both cabins we stayed in were clean, had good amount of amenities and felt safe.

Pads are unpaved and many unlevel, sites are next to Highway 50 nosiest traffic noise than all the KOA I have stayed out combined, no cable (even though sites show at one time there was and the wifi only is usable if you are right in front of the store office and the way over priced. The only reason I choice to stay because it was the only RV camping available, which should of been a clue.

TOO NOISY AND TOO MANY BEARS. staff girls were nice but the grumpy guy needs another job. Store was full of stuff but pool was a bath tub.

The management staff did an incredible job of customer service. Very friendly, great smiles.and even showed the rented camp site via golf cart. Well done!

Travel Trailer: 25’ Airstream Dates: Mid-August 2024 The staff is excellent and super helpful. The campground is beautiful and feels worlds away from everything. We took our bikes into South Lake Tahoe on a bike trail that kept us off the main roads and was easily accessible from the campground. The spots can be a bit tight, but nothing that can't be navigated. We are coming back ASAP!

The (older) place is wonky. Per KOA usual, the pool was closed, of course, so -1* for that. Also per KOA usual, this campground isn't in South Lake Tahoe. It's half an hour away. Our view was of construction debris.

We had a great stay, the staff were very friendly and most helpful! We loved all the trees! They are working hard to bring this park up to KOA standards!

This KOA has wonderful trees, a little stream running by the back of the property, spotless bathrooms and a very friendly staff. We stayed in a tent site near the back of the property and enjoyed the privacy. This is a much nicer place than the typical RV-parking-lot KOA. There is some noise from highway 50 but it gets a lot quieter in the evening.

The team and sites are 5 star. I only give this a 4 star because unfortunately it's right next to the highway, so you constantly hear cars passing by instead of getting to enjoy the quietness or sounds of nature.

Friendly staff with a family atmosphere. Vey accommodating. Plan to come back next year. Facilities were clean.
Aug 13, 2024
It was a peaceful stay even though the highway was right next to our site
Aug 13, 2024
Overall, great stay. Campground located within a few mini of South Lake Tahoe downtown and lake areas. Looks as though the campground is under new management and improvements are currently underway, lots of potential. Looking forward to a future stay.
Aug 13, 2024
Right off the highway. Facilities seemed run down. Showers caked with mild and slime. Odd cars coming and going at all hours and employees zooming around in their personal vehicles and golf cart. Construction every evening with dirt blowing on our camp.

Started off with being completely lied to about being in pull-thru spots, and the one that was actually a pull-thru spot had the hook-ups at the rear of the pad so we couldn’t be on hookups for our week long stay. We booked this place because it had a pool and a playground, the playground was mediocre and the pool was out of service which sucked for our kids. Stay somewhere else!
Aug 10, 2024
Extremely friendly and helpful . Would definitely come back
Aug 10, 2024
We would recommend the park due to it's location to Lake Tahoe. It is not too far and is away from the hustle and bustle from the city itself. The highway noise is a little annoying. The park itself is a little tired. Our site was not that level and waking around the park this seemed to be more the rule than the exception. Again, the next time we visit we may stay at Lake Tahoe KOA

The lots are cramped and the property needs some TLC.

The staff is attentive, friendly, and informative which brings my rating up immensely. The facilities were clean and the sites are fairly spacious. The price for this campground was extremely high; so I was expecting a lot of amenities and updated facilities. I understand they are at the beginning stages of renovation- including the pool. The road noise also distracted from our experience.

More Holiday status than Journey. Pool unavailable, extremely small playground for kids. As KOA members, this was a very difficult RV park to park in! Huge boulders to dodge and drive over, very narrow spots. Add to that, the freeway, on a downhill 55mph, extremely noisy. With pool out of commission, prices should be dropped in our opinion.

Nice campground among the pine trees. “Most” sites being paved is an exaggeration. If you want a paved site be sure to check that. The rest are a solid but very fine dirt that gets everywhere. We have a 35’ 5th and it was really tight getting into our site. Only because my husband is very skilled at backing up were we able to get in. The site was not very level either.
Aug 05, 2024
Campground needs updates. The sites are in need of gravel or solid surface pavement. Pool not up and running. Playground old and not kept up. Main roads need to be re done. Water leak causing muddy area near us. The campground was not worth the price and experience that we received.
Aug 05, 2024
Park is not up to KOA standards. It’s to expensive for the quality of camp ground.
Aug 05, 2024
It did not qualify to be a KOA. The sites were way too small and rocky. The bathroom was out of towels and not kept up.

Very displeased with our stay at this KOA. After talking to the maintenance man who had come out to our site twice to repair the 30 amp circuit was that this KOA had recently been franchised. This KOA Park does not qualify to be a KOA, not even close I paid nearly $1100 for this rip off. Tree trimmings piled up behind the sites downed light fixtures just laying on the ground.

Great location and at a great price.

The location is pretty ideal despite the tent sites being next to a heavy traffic road. However, it is badly maintained. There are a lot of dead trees which is a fire hazard, there was never any soap in the bathroom and they were regularly out of toilet paper, the showers were badly situated and gross. Overall fine for a camp site, but not nearly up to the KOA standard.

road noise is constant, before we checked out the power went out suddenly check all connections and went to office multiple time and no one was to be found, on our way out we noticed that there was a person working on one of the electrical hookup boxes which probably caused the issue.

Beautiful little camp ground in the forest, wonderful and very accommodating staff, clean bathrooms. Will plan on staying there again
Aug 02, 2024
The pool was empty, bathrooms dirty, campground very small / spaces tight, right next to main road. Left me very unimpressed. Would not recommend or return. And expensive!

We were surprised the pool was under construction and this was not mentioned at the time of our reservation. There was also a fire ban and you were unable to use charcoal to bar b que your meals. This was also not mentioned on their website. We rented paddleboards one day and the attended at the office should be trained to have better customer service and computer skills.
Aug 01, 2024
Men’s restroom needed more attention then it received and people should not be allowed to remodel their RVs in the camp. It was like living in a construction site with the noise from power tools

We stayed in a cabin. I booked a 2 bedroom sleeps 6. When we arrived we were placed in a cabin with loft. The cabin was dirty. Dead bugs in the window seals, microwave was not cleaned, fireplace had lots of ashes, screen door kept falling off when we opened it. Change your website to reflect the cabins you have, & Cleanliness should be a priority, no exceptions.

Expensive stay, but a beautiful area. Campground staff were awesome. Friendly and helpful. A bit snug for a large rig towing a trailer, but they moved my site, as I was a bit on the snug side. Laundry could have been a bit cleaner, dryers with dirt.

beautiful location

We could not back our trailer into the narrow uphill space thst was assigned to us (there were also trucks on either side thst made it difficult to back ip) so we parked near the entrance and slept in the trailer with it still attached and left at 5am.

Great location & grounds.

It was very clean and well taken care of. It was nice that they lead you into each campsite for the campers. I appreciated that very much.

This is the best campground we've ever stayed at! The hospitality was fantastic, super clean and well taken care of. We're traveling in a 19ft RV for our honeymoon. They upgraded our campsite complimentary so we could be secluded on the river. The river provided wonderful noise that you can hear throughout the campsite so no matter where you were it felt like you were secluded. The pool, bathrooms, general store, and laundry room were all spotless all the time. Plenty of hot water for showers and plenty of showers. They opened the store for us after hours because we forgot to buy water after a long day at the lake. They delivered everything to our site- firewood, ice, charcoal. There was a dog park for our pups. It was beautiful and will 100% be back again!! Thanks to the Perez family for a wonderful stay!

We had a great stay. Stayed recently during non peak time. Nice and quiet. Road noise was minimal and drowned by the wind through the trees and the running creek. Everything was very clean and well kept. Site 109 is super dope, and thank you for putting us there. The laundry is clean, small capacity machines, and a bit older. The dog run is fairly new, smaller, but just walk the grounds. Well shaded, many trees, but burn scare is evident. Starlink service was obstructed, but decent. Verizon cell service was solid. Very clean, well run park about 25 minutes from the lake. Pretty drive to the lake. There's a cool app that is like a tour if you feel like doing the drive around the lake. Ask the girls managing the place as they referred us (I wish I remembered names, and I'm sorry). All staff were spot on on, available, friendly, and polite. You can clearly tell that they've put in a lot of work into the park. Our site was awesome, back in, plenty of room, and all services worked. Water pressure I kept at 40 psi. Power did go out one night, but, just look up if the sky is clear! I had no issue navigating our 31 class C. A few 35+ class A's also stayed and they had no issues that I saw. Gave a Veteran's discount. Dog friendly. It was our first time in the area, and it was wonderful. We also checked out some of the other campgrounds in the area while cruising and non of them beat out this KOA's style. The drive to the lake is short, but gorgeous. We could not recommend this place more. We'll be back though again for sure! Thanks for the great stay

Loved staying here! Beautiful location next to the river and gorgeous scenery. We especially recommend if you are traveling with dogs. The staff was very kind and even gave our doggies little bandanas. Additionally the bathroom/showers were super clean and felt like home. Would stay here again!
