Aww this place says it's closed but they reopen this year. They've been closed for 4 years…read more Apparently they've been cleaning it up. We tent camp this past weekend July 22-23. The cool thing is we were able to get a last minute reservation as we booked it two days prior. But it's very expensive for a tent site. $140. Yikes. We never pay that much but when you're looking for something on a weekend quickly this worked. This was probably one of the more expensive KOA campgrounds. And the tent sites are right near the river. So you really couldn't hear the road all you can hear was the river. Most of them are kind of small although 161 and 162 are decent size and river access. Ours was 160 but it worked for 2 people 1 car. Definitely couldn't get anymore on our site. They definitely have lots of RV spots but check for what size will fit before booking. The roads around the campground are pretty narrow. There's absolutely no fires right now. El Dorado county has put a strict ban on them since we had Caldor fire that ripped through here 2 years ago. Propane only no charcoal either. This campground was saved. Although they're fixing things up around there. The bathroom next to the office was pretty clean and free hot showers. I think they need to bring in an extra garbage can and recycle bin. It literally was overflowing Sunday morning. Also they need to bring bear bins for each campsite as this is beer country! Now that it's open, they will be back on the hunt. Apparently the lady that checked us in, said they had a couple cubs there just the other night. Also at check in, she said they're going to be bringing in airstreams next season to rent as well. Oh, the swimming pool is in construction so not available right now. This is a really good location too for hiking, biking, boating, rock climbing. If they're open in the winter which I'm not sure, they'll be snowshoeing at the state park across the way from there. Enjoy!

I have used a number of KOA campgrounds across the USA but this one is set up very differently…read more This site has a number of levels/hills in it. It could make navigating a larger rig through it a bit of a challenge, and I was only walking through it. There is a nice but small pool area. We were in one of the spaces closer to the entrance/exit, thankfully. The staff was very pleasant and when I let them know that one of the paper towel dispensers in the women's restroom was empty, it was handled promptly. The staff tried to keep the restrooms/showers clean but these areas really do need to be completely remodeled. The showers appeared to have mold started in them. The road noise is very noticeable all day and night. The price for the campgrounds is considerably higher than most KOAs I have stayed in.

We absolutely loved this campsite. It was gorgeous and we had a view of the lake from our site…read more Which was amazing. Our particular campsite didn't have any shade at all until after 5pm, which was rough In the heat. But most sites have shade and trees. There is also a bear and her two cups that are constantly at the campgrounds. The first night was soo rough because there was a symphony of people yelling at the bears, banging things, air horns, and honking car horns. The bears just don't care at all. From the moment the sun went down to 6am. We also saw them around during the day, stealing sausages off of people's table. Didn't mind as much during the day. Second night started off very loud, but the bear must have gotten some good food, because it was a much quieter night after that. Over all, this camp is absolutely stunning and has amazing views and little hikes. Just be aware that the bear situation is ever present and can potentially cause some sleepless nights. But the beauty is worth it!

My family went for our first ever camping trip the weekend before the Fourth of July. We had to do…read morea "first come, first serve" as our work schedules are unpredictable so reservations aren't always easy. We ended up at Crystal Springs and it was well maintained, the hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the site was perfect for us. There are picnic tables, fire rings with attached grates for BBQing, and bear boxes for food storage. Some sites are better for trailers than others (these are marked). The bathrooms were vault toilets that I thought were quite clean. Cost of the site is $18 a day, $6 for extra vehicle. We also purchased three bundles of wood for $18 (one is $7). There's a rushing river nearby which we walked along but it's not water the kids can play in - it moves pretty fast where we were. But the kids had a lot of fun climbing rocks, playing in the dirt, and playing with glow necklaces in the dark. A great spot with quick in and out of you need it. The hosts, Amy and Eric, were really great.

I was hoping there would be a campground map but the park ranger hasn't had time to make one. The campgrounds is small and quiet. It is near the lake.

Since this campground is lacking photos I took a bunch to share with future campers.

We recently camped here during the 4 th of July holiday. The camp has tent & RV sites as well as…read moresites for pop up trailers. All camp sites have a table, fire ring, and bear box. Free showers, clean running water and a camp host on site to help with any questions. I would warn you this is bear country they are down in the lower elevations because of the Long winter, dont leave any food out of your bear box or any at all in your tent. We had two bears visit our camp every nite looking for a easy meal. Bring a few pots and a wooden spoon to make noise with this seems to help drive tome off for a note. Also bear spray would also help. The lake is OK for fishing, no swimming the lake has leeches so stay out of the water. I would suggest anglers have a float tube to fish this lake with success. In the middle of the lake is the best, work close to the weed line and you should land a few nice fish. The area has few stores to stock up, there wood fords near the junction of 88 & 89, the Sierra Pines store a few miles past the 88 & 89 junction, a gas station in markleeville about 7 miles in from the 88 & 89 junction. Please remember to not leave your trash pick up what you brought in! I say check it out!

We recently stayed in the Hope Valley House for my sister's bachelorette party. The house sleeps up…read moreto 9 people; We had 8 in our party and it was the perfect size for us. The house was clean and had plenty of amenities including a full kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, and two full bathrooms. It has plenty of closet space to store your belongings and a giant pantry for food storage. I wish it had a dishwasher to make it easier to clean the dishes, but we made it work with 8 of us to pitch in with cooking and cleaning. It would also be nice to have fans in the bathroom to help with ventilation. There is a nice Dyson hair dryer in the bathroom, but I couldn't use it. I plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on. I brought my own dryer and it didn't work either so I think it has to do with the electrical outlets. I tried multiple outlets and neither dryers worked. Aside from these things, the house is absolutely beautiful and perfect. There's a beautiful back patio area with a grill, fire pit, plenty of seating, and a dining table to dine al fresco. The front area is also stunning. The house is a hop, skip, and a jump away from the river. There's a couple picnic tables right by the river that you can sit and enjoy your coffee, read a book, and take in the stunning scenery. We loved our time at the Hope Valley House! We made great memories here as a group. It's about 30 minutes away from the city, but we rented a car so we could get around pretty easily and that worked well for us. We enjoyed the privacy and serenity we had at Hope Valley House. I would definitely recommend staying here!
