About Meeks Bay Resort

NO PETS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE AT THE RESORT! Meeks Bay Resort has a long tradition as a family vacation and holiday retreat. It is located on western shore of the famed Lake Tahoe (Da ow aga), far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Washoe Tribe has been a part of the Meeks Bay area of Lake Tahoe (Da ow aga) for many millenium. Their link to the land is an important part of the Meeks Bay Resort charm. It is the perfect spot to recharge those drained reserves and immerse oneself in the spectacular rustic environment.    Enjoy the sandy Meeks Bay beach, or rent a kayak or paddle board and venture out onto blue waters. Explore the hiking trails that lead both north and south along the lake as well as the Meeks Bay Trail which climbs into the Sierra Nevada Desolation Wilderness Area to Phipps Pass and beyond. For more details download the document available from the US Forestry Service.   The Resort has abundant Day-Use parking and a grill for the hungry camper. Stop by the main building for supplies, toys and clothes, and perhaps a chat with one of the Washoe Tribe members.  The resort offers all levels of vacation facilities from the historic Kehlet Mansion and the Washoe House, several cabins and lodges, full hookup RV spots, and standard tent campsites. Many couples have begun their wedded life together and families regularly hold their reunions at the Resort. Group reservations can be made on Recreation.gov or by phone to the call center.   Meeks Bay Campground is now an integral part of the Meeks Bay Resort. NO PETS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE AT THE RESORT!

I like where Meek's Bay Campground is located which is close to a sandy beach and also between the north and south end of Lake Tahoe.

Perfect proximity to Lake Tahoe and a beautiful view. The bears are a huge problem though so be alert. The bathrooms and showers were kept pretty clean but didn't always work. Get your tokens before the store closes!

unfortunately, the bathrooms were not well stocked or maintained .
The sites were not posted with the reservations. Our site was occupied when we arrived. I spoke with the camp host who was not helpful. Told us that maybe they needed more time to exit. So we keep checking on our site throughout the day but it was still occupied and no one was at the camp site. When we came back later that day the folks were set up and cooking their dinner. These people were not even registered campers but the camp host was no help so we had to confront the campers. Eventually we able to occupy our site. Someone needs to manage these sites better. Most campgrounds at least inspect the sites and post the reservations.

Recommend limit on number of day use people allowed into beach each day. Some days so crowded and if you are paying to stay in resort you shouldn’t have to fight for access.

Beautiful site, secluded from other campsites/cabins. However, there were no bear boxes or bear-proof trash cans provided. There was only an open trash can in the cabin and you half to hike quite aways to the nearest bear proof trashcan to dispose of trash. Lo and behold, a bear tried to break in. When we let the staff know, they informed us that a bear tries to break into this cabin every other day. So if you are looking to encounter a bear, by all means, stay here. Otherwise wait until they decide to equip this cabin properly, if they ever do.

We enjoyed our time at Meeks Bay. The beach is within walking distance from your site, you can rent kayaks and paddleboards at the office, and the snack bar is delicious. We only wished the snack bar and office stayed open longer as both opened late morning and closed late afternoon. The bathrooms and showers in the campground (not by the beach) were kept clean.

Very nice location: quiet, far enough from the hiway, beautiful beach and lake view.
Accommodations are so-so: basic, traditional rustic Tahoe. Cleanliness: fair. Shower area had no shower curtain.
