What Guests Are Saying
Zephyr Cove RV & Campground offers a beautiful location with stunning views of Lake Tahoe and a serene atmosphere, particularly in the off-season when it is less crowded. Many guests appreciate the clean and well-maintained sites, friendly staff, and proximity to the beach and other attractions.

Some walk-in sites are pretty far (and up a big hill) from the “loading zone.” Many have zero privacy. Do some research to find the best options if that’s an issue! Easy walk to Zephyr Cove beach and resort amenities. Safeway is less than 10 mins away. Free showers down by the RV section.

The campsites should be graded as need to place tent that is somewhat level.

Site # 121 is not up to our standards for RV camping. We were on the side of a steep hill, could not use the picnic table, and had no pace to put our chairs besides the asphalt. We have been going to Zephyr for 10 years and this was an unacceptable site.

I came to Zephyr Cove RV & Campground expecting a peaceful getaway (on an 8 hour Drive & time off from work), but the first night was ruined by a loud group partying until 3 AM. Despite complaints, there was no visible security or staff to handle the noise. The next day, I was told there’s supposed to be night security, but it clearly wasn’t effective. We had to pay extra to move, though we still heard noise from nearby campers. Zephyr Cove has potential, but without better management and enforcement, I won’t be returning.

I stayed in 2 different sites while I was in this park. Very convenient to the beach and evening dinner boat tour. The weird thing was that the laundry facility was coin operated and no office, store or restaurant took cash. I got my clothes into the washer and would have had to unhook my camper and drive 4 miles to be able to dry my clothes. Fortunately I started asking fellow campers and got enough change to dry my clothes. Poor planning folks! Need a change machine or an app for the laundry.

Close to your neighbours. The bathrooms and showers are clean. Campground is super close to the beach and a had a great summer vibe. I would stay here again!

We stayed in RV site #185 and all of those site in the 180s are too, too close together. But we did like the location for beauty and for lack of highway noise. I used the public restrooms a couple of times and they were what you'd expect for a campground and stocked with TP. The public beach across the street was a mess of people...far too crowded to enjoy on the weekend. Also, Zephyr Cove states dogs are not allowed on beach, yet they didn't enfore it and people had dogs on the beach.

Beware of site 154! It is extremely unlevel. Learned the previous camper broke her wrist stepping down off her RV stair as it is very steep due to the unevenness. We had the same issue but luckily didn't hurt ourselves. We asked for accommodations for this (provide an extra step, move us to another site) to no avail (was offered $36 refund for the inconvenience - we stayed 11 days - not much of an accommodation). We moved the RV back as suggested by their site supervisor and our steps were still 3 feet from the ground. Was informed recreation.gov, who owns the site, will not allow them to make improvements, regardless of how dangerous or risky the site is. Just adding a few pavers to elevate the ground to the asphalt would be helpful. Be careful of this site! If you book this site, bring an extra step or two!
