Best location possible to pope beach and fallen leaf. A lot of bear activity at night, be aware. Every night there’s a list 1-2 bears roaming around when everyone is sleeping. We still make it out yearly camp site.

My kids were on a multi state road trip and needed a place in Tahoe. I immediately thought of Camp Richardson and was lucky to get one of the least few tent sites. They had a great stay and the price was very reasonable. Thank you. #keepTahoeblue

We stay at the site 73, I believe. You need check-in before or after settle down your tent. Call the site for how to check in. It has a narrow juggled path walkable to the pope beach. The nearby restrooms have flush toilets. I remember it has plugs for your hair dryers. We didn’t use the plugs for safety concern, for not sure if it’s well maintained or not. The shower rooms with hot water are separated from the restrooms, kind of small but enough space just not for accessibility. This site also has many token operated bathroom with toilet and shower in the same room, more convenient and more privacy.
