I had booked a whole week & ended up leaving to outer loop with friends after 2 nights. The highway is literally over our heads- headlights, car engines, car breaks. Not a good spot to camp. Yes the map did show the road next to camp but I didnt think it would be too close & it is. The people on camp 25 ended up leaving too because of the same reason. Camp sites are too close to each other, that was another down side. Yes, it is an active bear camp & will snoop around your camp. There are no showers in this end & would have to drive to outer loop where main entrance is to shower. Ask for shower coins ahead of time because they are gone quick! 4 min shower only & $2 per coin. We ended up leaving to Tent#7 & Tent#4 on outer loop & there are no car noise there ! Still bear sights though. Beach is close to both outer loop & south loop but outer loop has a lot more access to things. South loop only has restrooms but no showers & outer loop has restroom, showers, restuarant, & the store on the main entrance. The beach isnt just for us campers but public can pay $15 for day use so if you plan to be at the water, save your spot early ! My family has verizon & we were the only ones with reception, everyone else didnt & we were 20 of us & only 3 had signal. You would have to go by the water or by the restaurant to receive some type of signal. Other than than that we had a blast camping but just giving a heads up for those future campers!

Beautiful views of the lake, so close to the beach. Cabin had everything we needed: hot running water, shower, bathroom, fridge, stove, cooking utensils, bedding, table and chairs, outdoor picnic table and fire pit.

The camp sites themselves are fine, close to the lake a big plus. Restrooms could be kept clean.
What I don’t understand is why there is a “ non refundable “ deposit, how can they get away with that? Every other camp site that I have stayed at does not have this.

We rented cabin #6 for a week and had a wonderful time. The cabin is stocked with everything you would need to cook meals and is extremely clean. The lake is across the road from the cabin and the beach a short walk. I didn’t have to drive anywhere for my week stay. At the beach the bathrooms were very clean and stocked. The cabin is older and has that Tahoe Charm! The only thing that could improve are screens on the windows . The area is not real buggy but we still had some bugs coming into the cabin. No air conditioning but there is a fan and that is all one needs.You do need to close the windows if going to the beach cause bears will get into the cabin. Upon your return you will need to open the windows and turn on the fan to lower the temp of the cabin. The staff is very professional, helpful, and friendly.

The site had everything that you’d expect just one thing I didn’t like that campers and had to use the same beach as day users. It would be wonderful if campers can have their own beach area.

I enjoyed this camping trip because I invited all my family to come to participate. It was a huge camping spot. I loved it!

I was trying to book for Friday and Saturday, it say in your website that First come first serve. So I drove there early morning nothing is available on that weekend because there’s a special event. I think you guys need to update your website so I won’t waste my time to drive all the way over there. Also , I was trying to get a hold of you guys no response either. I’ve been trying to call , they put me on hold forever. It says 20 minutes but nope. I’m totally disappointed

This was a great home-base for our kayak adventures to the north and south. Our cabin 3 (Delek - duck) at Meeks Bay was clean, came with linens, pillows, blankets, and even a fan, and a full kitchen. The enclosed deck had a great lake view and a set of tables and chairs. This cabin has a queen bed, two twins upstairs, and a full futon pullout bed in the living area. The windows could be opened, but would not stay up without a prop from a rock or a board. While it has a great view of the lake, it is not immediately by the beach, a short walk away. The four of us really enjoyed staying there.
