This is our third year at Meek’s Bay Resort. We have a 23’ MH. We love this campsite. A beautiful bike trail begins north right in the campground.
The beach on the Lake is beautiful and all the large trees add to the beauty. Restrooms and campground are clean. Magical place.

Our stay here was wonderful! We were in lodge 17 which is quaint and simple but just what we were looking for as we weren't planning on cooking much. The heater in the bathroom is very nice and adds a cozy atmospheric light to the space. We utilized the porch a bunch-- right on the water and was so nice to look out at night or watch the sunrise. We also had a harvest moon during our stay which was perfect. I was a bit worried about being able to get a fire pit as there were a few families staying at the lodge and only a couple fire pits in the area, but we got one with no trouble and had a great campfire for a few hours.
It was a bit pricey but makes sense for tahoe. Only thing they could've provided were prices at the general store-- everything was unmarked. Aside from this staff were friendly and great, quiet, beautiful location very central to emerald bay, Tahoma, and some other great state parks.

Lovely place, but nights ruined by neighbors loudly partying well past quiet hours and getting into conflicts with bears because they didn’t store their food correctly. Bear lockers need to be updated. Resort needs to do a better job of telling people to stay quiet and make sure they know how to store their food correctly.

We loved being able to take our bikes right from the camp ground and ride them to chambers on the water. Very awesome!! However there was a lot of construction going on around our campsight I wasn’t sure if the bike path went south or not. The camp sight was level. We got great sleep there. We felt safe. We hung out in the beach and it was absolutely beautiful. We lived our stay at Meeks.

we were in RV16, and there was a construction crew there every day all day during our visit. we were no able to sit outside on any of the days. they should not have put anyone in that site. We should be fully refunded.

Wonderful campground. Come prepared because local prices, for anything, are exorbitant. The site did have low ground and would not be a good spot in the event of rain of which we had none. There was bear activity every night so mind your ps and qs. A couple next door came in late and starting preparing a meal after dark. Haha, the first bear arrived in about three minutes.
Got some good casting practice in. There are small native rainbows, emphasis on small, in the creek outlet. Recommend bait casting from shore, worms 5' to 6' off the bottom or spinners close to big rocks. I think the water surface is still to warm for the nice browns to come close in, but soon. Swimming was good though. Had a great time and still get chuckles from the bear show.......

We had sewer construction going on at the back of our campsite on the weekdays that we were there. It would have been nice to have been told about this and given the opportunity to cancel penalty free, but that’s not how this resort is managed.
The whole non-refundable deposit fee separate from the camping fee is easily the most annoying thing I have ever encountered with online camping reservations.
All that said, the resort is in a great spot on a beautiful lake so we will return.
