Great drive-in campground with lots of space in between campsites. Most of the sites have shade during morning and evening time, so it's a pretty chill place. The bathrooms were also spread out through the campground and really appreciate that they had faucets. Will definitely come again.

"Planning my summer roadtrip, and everyone said it was impossible to get a campsite in Tahoe, CA during the summer. Rec.gov makes booking easy and 3 days before I left, I scanned sites near the lake and booked my campsite using their phone app for Android. The campground is directly across the street from the West Shore Market (great for snack gathering & outdoor people watching) and the bike path that circles the lake, perfect for an afternoon walk. Arriving on Sunday, I followed the weekend crowds and had a pretty mellow site with a large tent spot #42. By late afternoon, a friendly group of 12 year old boys and their families began the time -occupying tradition of dead tree chopping and I lost any hope of seeing a bear. The campground has over 80 sites and is very family friendly. RVs, campers, tents, and even a few hammocks - everyone can make this land by the lake their home. Thanks Ed - no bear sighting this time!"

Great campground at lake Tahoe. It is located on the west side of the road. It has a lakeside portion of the campground for day visitors. It's a little jam right in the middle of all that noise in traffic is lake Tahoe enters it's busiest season. There's 70 or 80 campsites here, from tent camping size to full RV sized. It's a dry campground, no hookups. The hosts are friendly and helpful. There are bathrooms throughout the park. We had a great time time!
