We could not have enjoyed our stay here anymore! It was amazing! The campsite was well maintained and clean. There is access to the beach right from the campground. There is lots of shade and the campground is surrounded by trees. WARNING ⚠️ our campsite was visited by a few different bears each night of our three night stay. You are in bear country and they are not afraid of humans. Be sure you follow the bear safety rules and lock up your food.

We recently stayed at the Kehlet Mansion for 5 nights with my extended family. Our group had 8 adults and 5 kids. We overall had an amazing experience. The site itself is like no other. You are surrounded by beautiful lake tahoe on all sides, as the house is built out on a point. The views are incredible. We made great use of the firepit, dock, and private beach. There is an outdoor shed and mud room that was perfect for storing bikes and paddle boards.
The house itself is rustic. With a large group, there were many creaks and squeeks as we all moved around. Something to consider if you are a light sleeper. The beds are small, but most rooms would have enough space for an air mattress if you wanted the house to sleep more people.
We were comfortable and happy with our stay. Meeks Bay Management was responsive and helpful with our needs.

The location of Meeks bay is convenient on the west side of the lake. However the Friday going into a holiday weekend they didn’t bother checking ANY bathrooms for toilet paper. ALL 8 restrooms in our loop were out of Toilet paper. So that tells me no effort was made for days prior. Our campsite had pretty uneven ground with heavy equipment tracks not smoothed out. We genuinely enjoyed our time at Tahoe State Rec, in Tahoe city much more unfortunately because this place seemed to have potential.

Nice place. But unfortunately the staff was very rude and unwilling to help us. Not recomendable.
