Goose Meadow Campground

The restrooms are well maintained compared with Yosemite and June lake, is a good place to camping, however the noisy highway takes away the peaceful that nature offers. Overall we had a enjoyable time.

Booked this campground from the UK for two nights in late September, a week before it was due to close for the season. That should have acted as a warning what to expect! Had chosen this campground over others nearer to Lake Tahoe in the expectation it would be quiet and not too crowded. Yes to the second, no to the first! A lot of noise audible from the highway as it happens. They did advise that only RVs up to 30' were permitted; we therefore had the maximum size allowed, and to be honest, the slot that I had chosen (from a simple on-line diagram) was really not suitable for a 30-footer, due to be being on a slight bend and with trees either end of the slot - hubby couldn't manoeuvre the van close enough to be out of the way of other vehicles. Luckily, as the site was so quiet, we moved

The campground offers excellent sites with well-maintained restroom facilities, though occasionally there are issues with odors. Access to the river is somewhat limited, but still available.

Goose Meadow Campground is a gem tucked close to town, yet it offers the solitude and natural beauty that any angler would appreciate The campsites are all solid, but I staked my claim on one that backs right up to the Truckee River. It was the perfect spot to cast a line at dawn, with trout practically jumping out of the water. The restroom looked newly painted and clean, just what you need after a long day on the river. This place has all the makings of a great camp, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates good fishing and a well-kept site.

This is a small Forest Service campground off of Highway 89. Running water and pit toilets (that were very clean). You can hear the traffic noise off of 89, as you are right beside it, but it is only 10 minutes from Donner Lake where we spent much of our days. It was a good place for a few days and the other campers were very quiet. It had a good feeling overall. I was in campsite 22.
