Our family recently got kayaks, and it's nice for the boys (both 7) to have a place without a ton of people, boaters, or obstacles to maneuver around. We took I-80 to HWY 89 North at Truckee. One left onto Jackson Meadows Rd from 89 takes you right to the reservoir, campgrounds, and boat launch. There are vault restrooms that are good for what they are. The road just after where you cross the dam is definitely bumpy - go slow. The signs to the boat launch are helpful! Launch use is $5 and there is a parking lot just up the hill from where you put your water craft in. We felt fairly accomplished (compared to when we've kayaked Tahoe, for example) because there were parts of the reservoir we could cross from one side to another. That was fun! Plenty of beach-like spots to stop and you may even come across some rocks good for jumping off! We saw plenty of wildlife including a water snake (so keep your eyes peeled!). Everyone we passed was pleasant and chatted. We also saw many types of water sports - kayaking, SUPing, water skiing, seadoos, etc.

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

Loon Lake? More like ANT Lake!…read more Went to this campground with my husband last weekend. I would highlight how pretty the place is, but unfortunately the campground design had many flaws. First, the elevation was pretty high, so right away, we were noticeably winded even after the shortest walk. They should really consider lowering the campground. Then, we went to sit on the lakeshore, and what did we see?? Not a single loon, but THOUSANDS of ants. Less than 5 minutes after I laid my towel down, it was covered in ants. Turns out there were several ant hills....ON THE BEACH. This is an unacceptable flaw in design. I would suggest the camp hosts or Forest Service relocate the ant hills, so that people can actually enjoy the shore. Just as we were settling down later in the evening and trying to sleep, I heard someone making a God awful owl hooting noise, from high up in the trees. It was very obnoxious. And I know it wasn't an actual owl because birds aren't real. All in all, it's a pretty place but I'd recommend visiting a campground that values comfort and caters to your needs.

He responded to my inquiry so quickly and was willing to accommodate a shorter timeframe of rental for my family due to medical issues. He communicated with me both through text messages and via a phone call.

I will certainly reach out to them the next time we are back in Lake Tahoe and I HIGHLY recommend them.

I was say, comfortably for - 10 people even though the max is 12, especially if there's kids because they tend to feel like 3 people each lol The next time we're in Tahoe, we'd definitely go with this company again, and probably check to see if Cade is free too! We've already recommended them to our friends!

We rented sleds for the whole day because we thought we were badass. Their location is pretty awesome - you literally get on the sleds and go. They go through safety and you get a helmet. There's also a little storage space underneath for things like lunch (which gets jostled around so a sandwich is good) and waters. I liked the fact that you can just go. They have various types of groomed trails and you can also go to open, flat expanses of land. I'm not a great driver in real life, so I passed on the driving experience and happily bopped along behind my driver. We made it up to this amazingly gorgeous ridge (can't remember the name). The view was spectacular and they even had a little warming hut. Great place to chill out. After about 3ish hours - I wasn't feeling like too much of a badass anymore :/ Luckily, the Full Throttle guys were super nice and they gave us a partial refund even though they probably lost money (since they couldn't reserve our sled out). Fun place, can't wait to go back and try their boats too.
