Stayed in Cabin 6. LOVELY view. Cabin clean, adequate. Needed space heater at night even in June. Brought my own, never could figure out how to use their heater. Microwave on top of fridge - hard for short person to reach! Shower head would not stay up. Otherwise everything worked. Main issue was bears. Have to be careful to keep all windows closed unless right there to watch. One tried to get in at night, which made my stay a bit nerve-wracking. Nice beach, FULL of people every day, which may explain the plethora of bears. Decent Verizon signal. Like camping at Sugar Pine better, but if you really want a cabin, this is a great location.

Love this place! Cabins have been newly renovated and they were great- darling vintage kitchens, comfortable beds, very clean-they were great. The general store is fun to visit and has items you possibly forgot. We found June was a better time to visit, not crowded like our usual July time slot.

I really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful place. But if you're concerned about bears, you might want to think twice. They roam around there like they own the place, especially in the evening and at night. It's their world.

I have been coming up to the west shore of Lake Tahoe for over 40 years, and this is the first year we have camped. The campground could not have been better. We loved our site, the proximity to the water, and the bathrooms/showers. Everyone was friendly and helpful! The bear activity took us a bit by surprise, but it definitely added an element of adventure to our camping experience. We will be back for sure!

This site is by far the best in the park. Will definitely return for our future adventures.
Fished off the creek. Paddle boarded just behind our camp site and was able to access the lake from there. The bears were out so be sure to clean up all food and secure your groceries in the bear locker. The access to the store is so convenient and the staff are all so pleasant.

Campsites were clean along with the restrooms which have running water, sinks, flush toilets.
Easy beach access, we were able to carry kayaks from our site to the beach easily and quickly. We were always able to find a spot on the beach.
Fire rings and separate grill. If you purchase firewood from the host or the store at the resort it’s $12 a bundle. Store has all the essential supplies.
Sites are a little close together, get noisy in the evenings, but that’s expected at a campground.
Bears were active every evening, bear boxes were big enough to fit our 2 coolers and a large tote with room to spare.
Dumpsters and a small area to wash dishes in campground.
Far enough away from towns to be peaceful, close enough for supply runs if needed.
Overall a great experience, will definitely be back.

Unfortunately we were unable to stay at the resort. Apparently the bear box was broken and it could not be repaired until the parts ordered came in. The camp host tried to accommodate me but I food not want to move from site to site every day. I was given a full refund and ended up staying in a hotel for the 3 days while visiting the area. It was unfortunate we couldn’t camp because we had stayed the year before and enjoy our last visit enough to return. I intend to return to the resort in the future. They have a great friendly staff who really tried to help us. Thank you all again. From the young girl working the check in booth, to the the young girl working the gift shop counter. And the nice manager who tried to get us a site. She really tried to help us. And lastly the young man who came out to the site and tried to get us a site for the night. All 4 of these team members were very caring and really tried to help us. Thanks Meeks Bay Team!
