Right next to the road so it can be noisy but the trade off is you're also right by the lake which is beautiful! Big bear containers for your food, decent bathroom, nice fire pit if no fire ban, dog friendly

This is a tent camping grounds. Everything is walking from the parking lot. A Lake Tahoe beach is right across the road. It's high season right now August 1st. Lots of tourists, I guess I'm one of them too! Had a lot of interesting evening activity last night there was an adolescent brown bear who is smelling all the treats that the campers had left out and came into the campgrounds poached the bag of chocolate almonds from one group. He hung around for probably 45 minutes or more. I retrieve the campground host he came with his air horn and over the course of another 30 minutes was able to slowly hurt the bear back into the forest. As with most national Forest service parks there are toilets and water besides are in the national Forest. We are in drought season, very bad. So no fires of any sort.

Does the perfect campground exist? Yep, and it's this one. Small, close to water, no generators running because it's only tent camping!

Small campground around 9 spots I think. This is a walk-in so be aware of that. You cannot load/unload your car at your campground. We had spot 9 which has a convenient side trail access, but is also the farthest from the parking lot. Our campground had plenty of shade and was huge, but that might have been because so many other sites were no-shows. This campground is right by the main road so there is some noise, but its worth it to be right across from the beach (beach is rocky so bring water shoes). The bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper, and the hosts were super friendly. Please be aware, that as of end of June 2021, there are NO CAMPFIRES ALLOWED (restrictions in place for the entire area i believe) and NO POTABLE WATER, so bring your own.
