I wish I would’ve known that there was such an uphill to the campsite! Absolutely beautiful, gorg campgrounds. Just would have loved a heads up that the .5 mile is all uphill ! :)

The campers right next to us screamed the whole night, we really wanted to enjoy camping and it sadly was ruined. We are a fairly young couple and tried to reason they’re just young adults having fun. But this was a whole level of disrespect. We did not want to say anything due to being right next to them, the fear of bad actions towards us.

We had a great experience camping here! The campground was clean, peaceful, and well maintained. The restrooms were very clean, which we really appreciated.
We brought two large tents, and both fit comfortably on our campsite 39. The only downside is that the campsites are very close together, so you can easily hear conversations and noise from neighboring campers.
Also, be prepared for the walk up to the campsite—the hill is very steep. We needed two wagon trips to haul all of our camping gear up, so keep that in mind if you’re bringing a lot of equipment.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. Just plan ahead if you have a lot of gear, and don’t expect much privacy due to the proximity of the campsites.

Great campground! Shady, decent amount of space between most sites. Beach directly across the street within walking distance. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. The biggest improvement would be the cleanliness of the bathrooms. They needed more cleaning. Will def be back.

Prefect location. Loved being in the trees and able to walk to the lake across the street. Only reason not 5 starts is one of the bathhouses backed up and flooded while we were there and they didn't fix it (that I know of) during our stay. We had an RV with hookups so it was fine but for tent camping that could have been quite inconvenient.

We had a great experience while staying here. The staff was extremely helpful, accommodating and friendly. This will be our go to place every time we’re in Zephyr Cove and Lake Tahoe.

Front desk was rude and the rv/trailer spots do not have bear boxes. We did not feel comfortable in our pop up trailer especially after hearing the employees talk about how often bears have been ripping into cars. The place is also expensive. I know it isn’t the same experience, but when you can get a hotel room in the area for cheaper than this campground’s small area to simply park on, that ruins the spirit of camping.

We had a great time in spot 189. Rv sites are not wide so be ready for a tight fit. We loved being at the top of the hill. We could see the lake through the trees! Tent campers are next door and we were worried it would be awkward with how close they were but it wasn't. Quiet nights and mornings and a short easy walk to the beach was great! Don't waste anytime at the restaurant for dinner though. Every employee at the campground was very friendly and was on top of keeping it clean and organized!
