RV Reviews

Not Big Rig friendly. 44 ft with toad and was placed in a pull thru with a tree in the turn. Also had to pass under phone lines that dragged the top of our RV. The people are very nice and really tried to help us. Just not my favorite KOA.

Staff was wonderful. Wish the pool had been open. Laundry area could use an overhaul.

The park is beautiful. We went there a couple weeks before we stayed, to make sure we could get into our site. They showed us our site. When we checked in they had us in a different site. They said we didn't secure our site. The new site was in the back, there was more privacy but closer to the road. This park is expensive but I guess not for Lake Tahoe.

There was more than one letdown or unprofessional moment. The office was not always open during posted hrs, a maintenance guy tried to check us in once office had opened late, but was unable to. Bathrooms; broken urinal, & dirty. No bear signs. Obvious pot smoking above the office, & campsite of maintenance person. The cost was not appropriate for lack of amenities, unkempt & unprofessionalism.

Our pull through site included a 90 degree turn to get out so we had to reverse out. Our camp side area was a bout 3 foot max by about 7 feet long of dirt. Our neighbors sewer was directly in the middle of this so we stepped out of our camper into a sewer connection. Pool and several other facilities were closed/out of order but price charged was by far the most I have ever paid. Very tight spaces

Hosts were very helpful and courteous. Shoutout to Emery who escorted us to our site. Thx

This is a small KOA with very small spots and very windy and narrow roads. Very difficult to get into the spots or even get to them. It's very pretty and close to the river. The staff is very friend and accommodating. However, due to the spots, we cannot recommend. Should there be a fire, there would be no way everyone could get out quickly. Also, move the KOA sign to the road, hard to find.

The sites were very close together, although place was very quiet. Watched staff try to help larger RV’s into same site with difficulty that they were not successfully each time. One ended up with damage to roof and warnings as they hit a tree trying to maneuver in to site. Our site was large pull through and we had an overhead truck camper. Very dusty, crowded, staff was nice.

I was expecting to be disappointed after reading some poor reviews. For us it was grand, power, water, and the dump station had a few different hoses. The place is in need of some upgrades but the only downside for us was the price. The lady checking us in couldn't have been nicer, and like all KOA campsites, the wifi near the office was good.

Emery and Sebastian were very accommodating and take great care of this facility. The spaces are tucked into beautiful pines with a cool stream running thru. Bathrooms are kept up and clean. We had a great week stay.

Malheureusement la piscine n’était pas en fonction. Sanitaires propres, emplacement ok. Personnel très sympathique malgré une arrivée tardive. La signalisation sur la route doit être installée car difficile à trouver de nuit. Très bien

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at the South Lake Tahoe KOA. It is obvious that they are working to rebuild the campground from having been closed for 4 years, and there’s still a bit of work to do. Apparently within 48 hours prior to our arrival they installed new electrical wiring and were still finalizing that while we were there, but we never had any issues with electricity. We’ll be back!

Management is wonderful! Park unfortunately is poorly designed and highway noise is bothersome. Restrooms are excellent. Store is good. I wish the people running it good luck and prosperity.

The sites are not level and the terrain makes it difficult to level. Several trailers had a very difficult time navigating through the campground. The staff does not have experience with rv/ trailer camping and need to put a size limit in the park. The staff was unprofessional and dressed unprofessional. The dryers barely worked. Beautiful location but will likely not return there.

The facilities were getting renovated but everything was functional except the pool. Navigating and backing were tight but the staff provided ground guides who were excellent! The power went out for a day which was not great. The host, Emory worked his butt off to fix it and they gave us a little credit for the inconvenience. When things go wrong, it's noticed when a place steps up. Thanks!

The power blew in the camp site next to us and half the park who didn't have generators had to leave. It was a hot weekend so air conditioning was a must. Because the wiring problem, we were unable to sit outside all weekend as a maintenance crew had ladders and wiring all over our outside camp area. It spoiled our time there. We would of liked to be offered a free night or two as compensation

Power went out for 24hrs. They did not offer a discount. It is a great location.

I think this park & the hosts have great potential, however I think that refurbishing this site back to KOA standards is a lot after sitting for 5 years. There was an electrical fire in the system feeding the RV pedestals. The hosts did not have keys to the electrical box. Fortunately, circuit breakers tripped and the power shut off. The electrical system needs to be checked out for safety.

Very nice campground. Full hookups and spacious spots with lots of trees. We overlooked the creek. I would definitely recommend it to friends. Lake Tahoe is the biggest & prettiest lake. The staff was very happy & welcoming.
Jul 15, 2023
Wonderful staff. Facility undergoing upgrades. We would stay there again.

Very helpful staff

KOA was awesome and accommodated our literal last minute reservation! Life savers! All staff was extremely polite, respectful and helpful!! Thanks for a wonderful trip

Amazing Staff! Very friendly & helpful. Beautiful area and river running through the campground. As much as we wanted to love this campground the sites are quite small with a 24 foot trailer it is was a squeeze! Took us awhile to get the trailer situated with the help of some very friendly and helpful neighbors. We probably won’t return just due to the tight fit. But we enjoyed our time there!

Park is under new management after being closed for years. Beautiful park with the Creek. Hard to enter campsites with 32 foot trailer but staff was very good at directing and doing everything possible to help. Could not buy propane because no one there had certification to pump it. No campfires or charcoal fires allowed although other non city campgrounds did. Worst mosquitoes I ever seen.

This was probably our worst KOA experience since we joined KOA membership 2 years ago. We have stayed at about 8 different KOA’s and this was by far the worst KOA we have stayed at. We will not be back again.

The spaces are very tight and precarious. We had to help many of the campers maneuver in and out of their spaces so they could avoid hitting rocks, trees, or other vehicles. We were unable to fully extenders because the tree branches.

Staff is awesome and so very helpful. Facility is in major need of remodel, extremely outdated. Sites are overgrown with brush and extremely small.

Our camp hosts were amazing!!! as was their staff. i had an electrical issue with our older trailer and they jumped right in to assist with an ohm meter finding 2 bad fuses.in the end it was simply a loose wire.They even came by later to check on us. Great People!! WE will definitely Highly recommend our ,family and friends, And We'll Be Back!!!

Great staff. Facility needs some help.
Jul 04, 2023
The employees are awesome. The grounds need help.
Jul 04, 2023
The spaces are too small and the entire facility feels too crowded. More like a parking lot and does not justify the charges at all. Even the dustbins that were right next to our site were overflowing and no one cared to empty or clear them.
Jul 03, 2023
Very customer oriented - helped us in a number of ways

The camp hosts made it a 5! Welcoming, helpful, and just all good.

Great hosts, very helpful. Looking forward to coming back many times.

We enjoyed the atmosphere of the park, however (having been to many KOAs) it is overpriced for the current amenities. The pool was not open, the restrooms were rundown, and the wifi was unavailable most of the time we were there. We were also charged a $5/nt/per pet, pet fee that was not quoted on the app when we made our reservation.
Jul 02, 2023
We found everything to be great at this campground.
Jul 02, 2023
Staff very nice and helpful, doing the best they can with old facilities & camp sites that need work. Bathrooms & laundry badly need renovation. Pool is closed. Hi 50 noisy. Mosquitos a problem. Most sites have good space between them but are very rustic. After our initial disappointment, we enjoyed the forest setting & creek was very pleasant. Only RV park at Tahoe with availability.

Great campground, glad it's back open! Super friendly staff, clean restrooms and showers! Cool little gem of a spot a little bit away from Lake Tahoe.
Jun 28, 2023
So glad this KOA reopened Very helpful staff Restrooms �� very clean Deliverer wood to our campsite AWSOME After being closed for quite some time our full hook-ups worked GREAT � We will camp again � here THANK YOU �

It’s very close to the highway which gives a lot of road noise if you are not closer to the river…also, most spots are pretty tight. Did not use any amenities as pool was being rehabbed. One of the most expensive KOA’s I’ve stayed at for what it offered. However, staff and Cory in particular very helpful.

Wonderful!

The campground was taken over only shortly by KOA. Before it was unattended for 5 years. It is really run down, but the die Manager is very attending and ambitious to bild it up. Nevertheless, more than 150$ are not acceptable for the quality it is currently in.

The Upper Truckee River runs right behind campground, which drowns out the traffic noise, as Highway 50 runs on the other side of the campground. Lots of trees, and really pleasant. The weather was fairly cool while we were there, but there is good sunlight to seek out to sit in. The roadways are very narrow, and large RVs struggle.
Jun 27, 2023
New ownership and the staff are extremely helpful. There's a lot going on to get the site going again after being closed for 5 years. So I would say there are some rough edges -- and it's a little confusing with the new numbering system because the signage and the online maps don't match the space numbers. But this will be resolved with time. We'd come back.
Jun 26, 2023
Amazing location, helpful staff. The newly opened resort needs a lot of work to get it to the level of other KOAs. Sites are very tight for RVs, need to trim more branches and remove a few more trees. But the gorgeous river front sites and the sound of the rushing river make it a wonderful destination.

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.
