Pros: (1) deep in the heavily wooded forest so you know you are roughing it; (2) some campsites have a flat spot for a tent, except for site 13; (3) no camp host watching over you since this place is no longer run by the US Forest Service. It is run by Nevada Irrigation District at arm’s length; (4) water spigots of potable water with strong flow at several spots in the campground; (5) proximity to the reservoir for swimming, kayaking or actual boating if the water level is high enough to reach the bottom of the ramp; (6) nice toilet paper; and (7) campsites have a nice picnic style table, fire ring with cooking grate, and sturdy bear boxes. Cons: (1) toilets are just pit toilets, no flushing and a fair amount of stink; (2) no running water in bathrooms for washing hands, brushing teeth or a shower; (3) no nearby store at which you might buy something you forgot to bring [recreation.gov website is full of outdated info]; (4) no source of local wood, you’ll have to buy it in Sierraville or Truckee on your way in; (5) this is best described as a RV campground because most of the ground is not level for a tent; and (6) the campsites are just dirt, a fine dirt that covers everything on you, in your tent, on your car. In summary, a decent spot for $24 a night.
