Nevada Beach Campground

The beach is beautiful, and the water is incredibly clear and refreshing, although very cold. There are not enough restrooms, and unfortunately, there is usually a line. Most of the restroom doors do not close properly or are difficult to shut. There are no showers available. Entry is $12 per day, and both cash and card are accepted. The beach is open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I do not have any information about camping.

We had the absolute best time camping. This campground was right on the lake, the bathrooms were always clean, the site was freshly raked and had a pinecone pyramid on the table to welcome us. Janet and Adam were beyond amazing and the friendliest campground hosts on the planet. They were so kind and took the time to answer all of our questions. They went above and beyond for our family. It was our first time camping there and we will absolutely be back!

You really have to work at getting a campsite here; but, it is worth the effort. What did I enjoy the most at Nevada Beach Campground? The proximity to the beach and the beautiful surroundings. The staff is first rate. They clean and rake each site daily. I was very impressed with their stewardship. They really work hard, so be kind and clean up after yourself. Great beach. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you can stand the ice cold water, go for a swim. I did. It was worth the drive up from Phoenix just for that. I've never enjoyed swimming more. All in all, I throughly enjoyed my 4 night stay. There are several good restaurants very close. Safeway is close. I spent my swimming time at Sand Harbor. Remember to pre book for parking at Sand Harbor or just stay at Nevada Beach. I swam there last night. Wonderful. Cheers!

We absolutely loved our 10-day stay at Nevada Beach Campground! Even though it’s just minutes from South Lake Tahoe, it still feels wonderfully peaceful and surrounded by nature. You get the best of both worlds — the stunning Lake Tahoe shoreline, the sandy stretch of Nevada Beach, and the forested beauty of the Lam Watah Nature Trail right nearby.

The dog-friendly beach was a highlight for us — it was great to relax by the water and see so many happy four-legged friends enjoying the lake too. And the sunsets here? Simply unbeatable.

A big shoutout to Manager Adam and his amazing crew — Janet, Mike, Chris, Tammy, and Randy. They clearly take pride in their work. Every campsite is freshly raked and spotless before guests arrive, and the bathrooms are always clean and well-maintained.

It can be tough to get a reservation, so plan ahead and book six months in advance if you can. We stayed in Site 29, which offers a bit more privacy and shelter from the wind — highly recommend it if you prefer a quieter, more tucked-away spot.

Can’t wait to come back to this beautiful campground!

My family and love coming to this beach. You can access it in winter but its closed. No bathrooms.
