Tahoe Valley Campground

My wife and I stayed at Tahoe Valley Campground and were disappointed with our experience. The sites are extremely small and very close to neighbors, making it feel cramped. For the high cost, the value didn’t match our expectations. This campground seems better suited for large groups who enjoy late-night partying, which wasn’t ideal for us as early risers seeking a peaceful retreat. On the positive side, it’s great for families with kids, offering plenty of activities to keep them entertained. However, for those looking for a quiet, relaxed camping experience, this isn’t the best fit.

There is something for everyone at this campground. Fantastic activities for the kids, biking, hiking to the nearby river, pool, etc. a fenced dog park within the grounds and a great store for forgotten items or souvenirs. The band on Saturday night was first rate. You could hear the cheering from afar. The free entertainment and daily activities arranged for the kids is priceless!

I've been coming here for years. As campgrounds go, this one is huge. There's a very large variety of sites and locations within the campground available. Also nice cabin and tent sites. There's lots of space to explore in the woods and you can walk all the way to the river and beyond. It's a great way to walk your dog. If you go in the other direction you are minutes away from a very large Raley's grocery store and other shopping establishments and restaurants. The campground is in really excellent shape. The best I've seen in the years I've been coming here. I have a trailer so I don't routinely use the bathrooms but they've been remodeled and they are spectacular! Clean, private, and in good repair. And as others have said, this is a family-oriented campground. And it does get loud. Especially on a busy summer weekend. Sometimes they have large groups that also play loud music. But from what I can tell most people are very good about abiding by the quiet hours restrictions. It gets quiet in the late evening and you don't have to worry about noise keeping you up all hours of the night. In sum, this is probably the family campground by which other campgrounds are measured. Just very nice all the way around.

Pros: 1. Kids activities like karaoke night, bike parade, organized games, crafts, movie night, etc were AMAZING. 2. Great amenities like playground, pool, ping pong, store, laundromat, food trucks and pop ups…super handy and added lots of value. 3. Beautiful setting with lots of trees and shade, but yet also very close to grocery store, restaurants, and the lake. Cons: 1. Bathrooms were very dirty and had lots of plumbing issues. We were not comfortable using them. 2. Airport noise was loud. 3. Smokers in the site next door. 4. Other campers left their food out and bears were in the camp multiple times a day. 5. Other campers were loud past quiet time hours. Overall, we liked our visit and will be back, but hope that the next time the bathrooms will be clean and functioning and the rules related to food left out and noise will be enforced. This place has great potential!

We spent two days at Lake Tahoe and booked this available spot last-minute. At first, I considered writing something “negative,” but that wouldn’t be fair – it wouldn’t reflect the experience accurately. For us personally, the campground felt a bit lively and busy. But to be fair, it’s clearly designed as a family-oriented campground, and that’s exactly what it delivers – so this should not be seen as a downside. The campground is large, the staff is extremely friendly, and someone was always available to help or answer questions. The team puts a lot of effort into creating a great experience, especially for families. There’s a pool, lots of activities for children of all ages, and even a fun evening bike parade around the campground. The owners are clearly passionate about what they do, and the whole concept is very well thought out and executed. If you’re looking for a quieter, more secluded spot, this may not be the right campground for you – but if you’re traveling with children or enjoy an active campground vibe, this is an excellent place to stay. Highly recommended for families!
