Tahoe Valley Campground

We arrived here August 8, for a three night stay.  This is an Encore park which is also part of the Thousand Trails Park system.  The skinny and curvy roads are challenging to navigate between the large pine trees throughout the park.  The sites are on dirt and crushed pine needles and were level, I did not use my leveling jacks.  We were assigned a premium site with electric, water, and cable TV.  I could not get satellite reception due to the dense trees.  This is the first time I have hooked up to cable TV in this motor home and it worked fine, but only had about 10 or 12 channels.  There is a dump station in the campground and travellers not staying in the park can dump their tanks and refill water tanks for a fee.  There are also sites with full hookups.  Our rate with RPI discount was $41 per night and another $3 discount because the pool was out of order.  Based on our discount, the standard rate would be $60 per night and I would not pay that price at this park.  That said, I rate this park P****. 

We were ahead of schedule, so we decided to stay here as our friends Chris & Gary were camping here.  As it turned out we did not get to see Gary as he was in Reno at a big car show.  Pictured with Aggie is Chris, her grandaughter Emily, and their friend Barbara.  We were enjoying a pizza and wine in a Lake Tahoe outdoor restaurant.
