Good place to stay while you explore nearby tourist destinations but the ants sure are a problem though. Also, remember to put your food somewhere that the bears can’t get it because they’ll scavenge here all right.
This is a great location in South Lake Tahoe! Close to the lake, has showers and flush toilets, and a short walk to restaurants and grocery stores. The campground can be a bit noisy due to proximity to Hwy 50 and the occasional blasting stereos in the campsites, but is pretty quiet at night. Note that this campground is only open for the summer months and requires reservations. There may not be on-site staff when you visit, but site permits are checked every day to verify that all visitors are valid.
My wife works here from june through October. She really enjoys working in this job. Once again I was either dropping lunch off to her or picking her up when her shift was done.
Do not camp here if you have kids or by chance are allergic to ants. This place is infested with them. They are EVERYWHERE! You can't even sit outside and enjoy your campfire without them crawling all over you. Also they charge for showers, so if you do come make sure you bring plenty of quarters only because that's all they take. Also, if you need to contact the person that runs this place you'll be waiting more than 2 days for a response. For $50 a night you're better off spending an extra $50 somewhere comfortable where you don't have to worry about being bitten by ants.
We got there in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. The camp host’s were nowhere to be found. We called multiple times and knocked on the office door. Two other guests tried the same thing. We ended up following the late arrival payment instructions and left cash in an envelope.
