Rachel C ★ 5 · Oct 2025We love this campground and the lake is so peaceful and beautiful. The camp host this year was so nice and he had the sweetest dog too. The only downside was the flies in the bathroom, it was bad this year. But other that that we love it here.
Jillian E ★ 4 · Oct 2025Can't beat only $25 a night for good views and nice camping spots.
Jordan P ★ 5 · Sep 2025Great campground. Well maintained and nice big spots. We have a 30’ travel trailer and fit into spot 22 with 0 issues and also had room for a third car. Bathrooms are as clean as can be for a pit toilet. Lake is amazing and short walk away. We will be back for sure.

Shirttail Creek Campground sits on the north shore of Sugar Pine Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest, about 15 miles from the small mountain town of Foresthill. The reservoir itself covers 160 acres at roughly 3,600 feet elevation, and the campground perches just above the waterline in a stand of manzanita and ponderosa pine where summer days are warm and nights cool. Water-based recreation is the draw here: anglers and boaters use both motorized and non-motorized craft on the lake, swimmers take advantage of the shoreline, and a paved, non-motorized accessible trail links recreation sites …
