Also if you are at lot 20/21 you are RIGHT by the entry for off roading people who are on the way to do the rubicon trail. On our camping experience here they would make loud noise starting at 11pm- 1 am so it was not quiet by any means and felt like the cars were right next to the tent. Despite that the camp itself is nice, bathrooms are well maintained, shade comes in the evening, and off the beaten path from Tahoe

The vault style restrooms were clean, well stocked, odor free. The overall campground could of used a few more trees here and there as it was a little difficult to find shade. Only a few sites provided ample shade. Most sites offer RV parking, tent camping is available, but difficult if placing for two tents. Overall I would be back and would recommend.

We showed up as first come first serve and we're lucky to get a beautiful spot right on the lake. They have nice deep fire rings, picnic tables and bear lockers. We didn't see any sign of bears. The sites are $27 a night and you can buy wood for six dollars a bundle or two bundles for $10. There is a 14 day limit on first come first serve sites. This time around, the road to Upper Blue Lake was open, so we headed up there to check it out. There are a couple campgrounds up there that have nice sites and include bathroom facilities. We ran into a couple of backpackers who convinced us to take the "short" hike to Granite Lake to do some fishing. We grabbed our fishing poles and gear and headed out thinking that short would be a quarter mile or so. The hike actually turned out to be 2 1/2 miles with about a 700 foot elevation gain. If we had known the distance, we probably would not have done the hike, but once there, we got a couple of very nice rainbow trout. We did not have any cell phone coverage in our camp, but at the 9100 foot elevation of Granite Lake we did have some pretty good cell coverage.

The husband‑and‑wife team working that evening completely turned our experience around. They mentioned they had moved to Tahoe from LA and had a few daughters, and both were incredibly kind and welcoming. The gentleman went above and beyond, bringing out new reels, adjusting our setup, and personally coaching my wife with patience. Thanks to his effort, she caught her very first fish, and it absolutely made her day! We left with huge smiles and a wonderful memory. Tahoe Trout Farm has amazing people who truly care about their guests. Highly recommend!

Fishing rods and bait are provided or you can also bring your own fishing rods. We were able to catch 3 of them and cleaning them was done by the staff ( you have option of getting it fillet). Had such a fun time at the trout fish farm with my nephew! It was a great experience spending quality time together, enjoying the outdoors, and making some really good memories. The whole experience was relaxing, fun, and especially exciting for my nephew. Definitely a great activity to do with family, and we'd love to come back again!

Five stars for Capt. Andrew and The Professor!…read more I've lived in Reno since 2008 and never knew anyone who really fished Lake Tahoe. As my kids have come to enjoy fishing, I've found myself looking for new experiences we can share, so when we found ourselves in the area for Spring Break, my wife and I booked this trip for all of us. I'd been following Andrew on social media for about a year, so he was my first call. From his consistent presence online and catches, I could tell that he knew the lake, ran a tight ship, and knew how to get on the fish, so we booked individual seats (nearly had a private boat) and met him at Round Hill Pines for a 7:30am departure. Andrew had the whole boat ready to roll with a well full of live bait, rods rigged for a variety of approaches, and a game plan on where we'd be going and what we'd be doing. Upon my request, he gave us a deep dive on what we were doing, how the fish would react, what to look for, how to fight them and anything else you might want to know about the lake and fishery. We trolled live baits and caught big lake trout. It was fun to tend the rods under his command and even more fun watching the kids faces light up as these large freshwater fish took the baits and eventually came over the rails. Andrew was awesome at making sure everyone had a great time and got on the fish. The kids really loved his high energy and fed into helping him "run the boat". The icing on the cake was eating the fish themselves. I had heard these lake trout weren't good eating but that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, this is THE reason to get on this boat IMHO. I'm stoked to have a few more meals left in the freezer and looking forward to another trip for more. BEST OF ALL... if the fish aren't biting you're still getting a cruise on Lake Tahoe, which can run about the same on one of the larger yachts!

I didn't expect great coffee in Walker but was most pleasantly surprised and the lunch was great too!

****KIDS UNDER 14 ONLY**** We found this place on a Google…read moresearch. What we loved, you had to be 14yrs and younger to fish here. We were trying to find the perfect spot to take our 7yr old fishing. Since we were staying on the north shore, it was a 1hr drive to get here. We drove here on a whim and it worked out. FREE parking. Low key. Mellow. Not crazy busy. Secluded feeling. Plenty of shade. Pets on leash welcome. Nice outhouses. We saw a bear at the pond just 40 yards in front of us. August 2026. He was minding his own business. Everyone was very friendly and shared their worms with us. We didn't catch anything but that's okay. We had fun. We spent 3.5hrs there all for free. Better than blowing money at an arcade.

Looking to get your kids out fishing? This is a great spot outside the hustle and bustle of SLT…read morewhere you can find a bit of quiet and a good opportunity to catch fish for the youngins. I discovered this pond last summer and am so glad I did. My kids (5, and 8) have taken some sincere interest in fishing and Sawmill was the perfect place to teach them some basics. There's a large parking lot and easy access to the shoreline of the pond with some quality shade opportunities to fish from. During the weekday afternoon we were there, the traffic was light and we had a lot of choices on where to fit. Sadly the time of day probably didn't help us get bites, but we had some chances to catch and a lot of quality time together. I imagine if you hit this on the right day near a stocking, the bite could get hot and really hook a kid on fishing. This is a great community resource that is largely frequented by locals. It presents a good opportunity to get your kids out fishing and I highly recommend you get it on your radar for a future visit.

CRYSTAL PEAK PARK is an adventure once you find it !!…read more If you're looking for a remote atmosphere with mountain views, ponds & the Truckee River, this is it. Take I-80 West past Boomtown to Exit 3 for Verdi.Turn left onto South Verdi Road at the bottom of the ramp (look for the sign pointing to Crystal Peak Park). Follow the road as it twists under I-80, crosses the railroad tracks and goes under I-80 once more. The road becomes Crystal Park Road. Look for the park's upper parking lot on your left. I suggest taking a sharp left turn just before the upper lot to reach the lower parking lot near the picnic area, restrooms, and trailhead. This was a great experience. Bring snacks and your childhood love for dirt FYI- We had perfect reception with Verizon & AT&T the whole route
