No flush toilets at all, reservation.gov is wrong. Only nasty vault toilets. No sinks. And no fires allowed due to weather conditions. And not complaint with health department, see below

One of the top campgrounds I've stayed at over the years. We stayed in the middle of June so the grounds were only open for a few weeks but everything was very tidy with mulch spread everywhere and brush/needles removed for fire safety. Looks like newly paved roads around the camp too. Maybe they redid the whole area? Toilets are just your standard pits but every morning a friendly lady would come and make sure they were stocked and clean. Most of the sites in the area are well shaded but there are some hours when the sun beats down pretty hard. We stayed in site 6 and were quite happy with the location. There is running water located around the various sites as well as multiple bathroom buildings. There are also locking dumpsters for your garbage and recycling boxes for cans/bottles. The sites all have fire pits, large wooden tables, and metal bear boxes. I didn't get the exact measurements of the bear box but we were able to fit a large wheeled cooler, a smaller cooler, and multiple boxes of supplies/food (see picture). Speaking of bears, there was a young bear who came into camp one night so make sure all your stuff is put away properly. The camp is almost at 5000 feet so make sure to pack warm stuff, it got down to the upper 30s one night while we were there. The camp host sells fire wood for $8 a bundle if you need more too. Oh, Verizon has 5g out there so cell signal is great, better than my house lol. The lake is obviously beautiful but the banks are steepish so finding an area to relax next to the water requires some searching/off trail exploring. The water was pretty cold but we took a dip anyway. There is a store at Ice House Resort located about 20 minutes away if you need more ice/drinks but you'll pay for the convenience. There's also a great easy hike to Bassi falls located about 12 minutes away, highly recommended. It was our first time staying in the area and we will definitely be back, a lot of the beauty of Tahoe area without all the crowds.

Campground host Mike is great! Newly redeveloped grounds. Shoreline is not flat, mostly to slopped to put out any chairs.

You could possibly get a camp site without reservations if that's what you mean!?
