INSIDE: A-OK in my book! Great stop along the way to or from Tahoe to gas up, go to the bathroom, get something from the gas station convenience store, or get a sandwich at the Subway store attached to it. It’s nothing glamorous inside, but it’s a gas station so what do you expect? OUTSIDE: Steps go up to a raised leveled area with picnic benches. From my photo you can see there are a lot of trees that provide shade and thus snow during the winter snow season. Big lot for parking bigger cars and trucks so it is bigger than your usual gas station.

The price on the shelf is always lower than the one charged to your credit debit card. Buyer beware of this guy who refuses to identify himself. He’s not just stealing from passers by he’s stealing from his neighbors.

If you’re strapped for some gas on your way to Lake Tahoe or back from it then stop off here. It’s conveniently located next to stores that sell chains, groceries, and restaurants like Skeeter’s.

Easy access from US-50. Pull through pumps can get busy and congested on holiday weekends. Just pay attention so you enter with the flow and don’t cause a traffic jam. Great food-mart with an adjacent Subway. Very clean restrooms

Crystal View has been our hometown station for the past 12 years, and we have nothing but praise for the friendly staff, clean and bright facility, and«quick stop» shopping choices. Even though our rural location sometimes necessitates slightly higher prices, this«package deal» has led us to frequent the station for our gas purchases. In fact, it’s a must to stop at the station whenever we’re headed«down the hill» for appointments, visits, or longer trips. After all, we not only need gas, my husband has to have his flavored coffee, and I want my Necco wafers! As an added outside attraction for nonlocals, there’s umbrella-covered patio seating during warm weather, as well as a few picnic tables under the surrounding pines and cedars. Best of all, there’s an unobstructed view of the Sierras that’s so spectacular, I go there to take photos, even in the snow-covered dead of winter! All in all, Crystal View is a great operation in an awesome location. You should give it a try when you’re in the area!

SHELL Gas Station, convenience store and Subway sandwich express shop. I was pleasantly surprised, so much so, I told my car companions to check out the inside and use the nice restroom. Stopped here on my way home to the Bay area from Lake Tahoe. It is a large place, well lit, the restrooms clean, a cappucino machine, flavored coffee in airpots, plenty of little convenience items and snacks and attached is a Subway sandwich place for something to go. And the staff was friendly. A must stop for your pit stop and snack break on your way up to and back from Tahoe! When heading towards the SF/Bay Area, take the Pollack Pines exit and make a right, you will see it at the stop.

Heaven is a place on earth. And it’s called Crystal View station. If you ever happen to be in the heinous situation of heading up to Tahoe and highway 50 is a mess(because somehow the plows haven’t graced 50 with their presence) and *everyone* on the road appears to be an international student driving a rental car with no insurance right after having cataract surgery then you KNOW Crystal View. They have tow trucks. They have chains. They have a portable heater in the office and an air tight door. They have«T» — god’s gift to motorists(or at least that’s the way you feel when you find out that your car is impounded and the nearest car rental place is 20 miles away and closes in 10 minutes and T offers to drive you down there in his wife’s car. I’ve never wanted to gush over a wrecker so bad in my entire life!) In a situation that is turbulent and fraught with emotion, Crystal View provides that perfect bear hug that says«everything is going to be O.K.»
