Snagged a campsite here on a Saturday in July! We were so stoked and excited, there was only one spot left when we arrived and many others also came quickly after us to find spots but unfortunately were too late. There’s only a handful of spots (I want to say around 8), located in a prime area literally across the street from a overlook of Emerald Bay and many awesome hiking trails. Two hiking trails which lead to Granite Lake and Cascade Falls start literally behind this campsite, so there are hordes of people coming in an out throughout the day, especially during the weekend. Do not expect a quiet campsite, it does become more quiet after 6 pm and less people are walking around and staring at you while you camp. The campsites have a lot of room between them and are nestled below a grove of beautiful trees, giving you enough shade during the day and a great place to put up your hammock. Basic camping stuff like a fire pit, picnic table, and bear locker are provided. Bathrooms are well maintained and actually clean! No running water when we arrived. The fee was $18/night but no one came to collect the fee so we basically stayed for free (camp guidelines state that a person in uniform will come collect the fee at the campsite). Great place to stay if you are looking for a convenient location right next to all the prime hiking trails Tahoe has to offer!
