We arrived here on July 8, 2012 for 4 nights. This is our absolute favorite federal campground. Located in Lake Tahoe; our favorite destination. This park will accomodate any size rig. No hookups, no dump station, and could not get satellite reception from this site. Cell phone was weak - 2 bars. We love this park. It is located close to the casinos and fallen leaf lake is just a short jog from the campground. The big lake, lake tahoe is just across the highway and probably one mile walk to the water. Be prepared to make reservations 9 months in advance to enter this campground during the summer months. Our site had to be at least 1/4 acre with new table, fire ring, and new asphalt pad. Our site was on an inside loop which was very challenging for our 40 footer. I would recommend selecting an outside loop site. We rate this campground F****.
Our friends, Kathy & Grant Stephens arrived on July 9 with their friends Jack & Vicky from New York. Her son Mike & Lisa and family were staying at a timeshare hotel near the casino's. One day they took the rafting trip down the Truckee River and the weather was fabulous; in the 80's which is warm for Tahoe. We were rafted out from the Rogue River so planned to meet them at the take-out point where there is an outdoor bar and grill on the river. We missed them, but I managed to consume one $8 river rat special. (basically a mai tai without the umbrella and fruit) Ouch!!! I am glad I ordered the small 12 ounce drink.
We took a day trip to the big lake one day and found a secluded beach on the Nevada side of the Lake. We hiked about 1/4 mile down a fairly steep trail to the water with Buddy. Buddy could not wait to enter the water with the other dogs on this beach. He swam for about 30 minutes before he returned to our beach. I also took a dunk in the cold Lake Tahoe water.
