Julie D ★ 4 · Sep 2025Campground is great. Sites are not crowded together. Parking pads are a bit small in some sites for RV.
Dominick D ★ 5 · Sep 2025Wrights lake campground is beautiful. It’s quaint, quiet, spacious, and teaming with wildlife. The only issue my girlfriend and I had was the weather, we had checked Kyburz but should’ve been checking South Lake Tahoe as there was a rainstorm everyday we were there, which is not something we were prepared for. This is to no fault to anyone but our own. We still managed hike to an alpine lake, kayak the length of Wrights in to the back creek which was like something I’ve never seen before. The creek is deeper than a majority of the lake, as an avid fly fisherman this was a crazy sight as the width of the creek was maybe 12 feet max. I have Verizon and she has T-mobile, neither of us had service which is cool with me because I go out to the woods to unplug. All in all, we’re looking forward to coming back. It was really a great trip and an awesome memory we’ll cherish for a long time.
Megan O ★ 5 · Sep 2025I love this campsite. So peaceful and the sites are nicely spread out. Usually a pretty respectful crowd. Lots of access to great hiking nearby.

Trails and trailheads cluster within about five miles Bloodsucker, Rockbound and Twin Lakes provide direct routes into Desolation Wilderness so hikers and horseback riders can head out from camp into high-country granite and late-season wildflower displays.
