RV Village Campground at Camp Richardson Resort

This is a good campground if you want to be near the beaches, Tallac Historic Sites, or South Lake Tahoe which is literally just down the street. However, be aware the power and water are oddly positioned, near the front of the site in a position such that they are easily shared by the adjacent site. This can work for or against you depending if you are backing in a trailer or put putting a class A in front inwards. In our case, (site 4) it took 70’ of power cable to connect to power for our trailer, and since the power was on the wrong side, the cable had to run under the trailer. Had we a motorized RV, it would have been much easier if you parked front inward. We had to fill our water tank from another site before backing in, as I only had 50’ of hose with us.

Know that CA89 can get noisy so consider sites away from the road.

It is a nice rv park, however, near to us there was a big group that were playing loud music until about 9:45 at night. Signs were posted that quiet time was at 8:00. It would have been nice if a camp host or the management of Camp Richardson had done some rounds to make sure that the music was off at 8:00.

The hookups at this campground are not convenient at all — definitely bring extra extension cords and sewer lines. The bathrooms are very old and outdated, even by campground standards.

During our stay, the overall atmosphere wasn’t relaxing. Many campers seemed to have little respect for boundaries, frequently walking through others’ sites and playing loud music all day long — easily heard throughout nearby campsites.

There’s no on-site camp host, so if other campers disregard quiet hours, you have to call security. Unfortunately, security only drives by rather than approaching the site, so the noise usually stops temporarily and then starts right back up. It finally got quiet around midnight.

If you’re looking for convenience and proximity to Camp Richardson, this spot works. But if you’re hoping for the serenity and peacefulness that Tahoe is known for — this may not be the place for you.

A great location for sure. A few things to watch out for. Not all of the campsites are "full hookup" and many of the ones that have hookups, they are either on the wrong side or are in a strange location and you could end up needing 2-3 sewer hoses and a very, very long power cord or water hose. Make sure you check! Camp Richardson itself is really nice and has all the amenities including horseback riding a little store, lakefront restaurant and more. We will definitely be back.

Camp Richardson was my first adult RV experience and it was perfect for what I needed. It was clean, in a woodsy setting (I loved the tall pines), The Grove on site, and a nice general store, and it was close to town. I loved it.

My family and I had a great time at the campground! Very clean spot and well kept! Definitely will be back!
