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. However, some reviews mention issues with bathroom cleanliness and management, especially during peak times, along with concerns about pricing and discount availability. Overall, it remains a popular choice for camping, especially in winter.

We loved location but didn’t have adequate water pressure so when we went to front desk he admitted space #173 was NOT working properly and needed to be fixed I would hope we would get a 2 night credit for this inconvenience

Great facility & location. Excellent access to lake and activities. Also, close to “town.” Just need WiFi.

The sanitary facilities , Restroom and Showers were in a bad condition.
It was very loud from the construction by the street.
The lake is nice, but everything is very expensive.
You can do all kind of watersports and hiking tours.

We love this campground very much, and we come here nearly every year for a couple of years It is a beautiful natural setting with nice access to Zephyr Cove beach, and is near to South Lake Tahoe attractions and a beautiful drive to Carson City. You are in the woods with other campers, and the weather is great! The drive to Carson City is beautiful if you need or want to go up there.
I wish they would be a bit more prompt about cleaning the camp restrooms (emptying the trash). Camp showers are good with temperatures and water pressure.
The amenities here are the beautiful trees, the stunning lake, and zephyr cove beach and marina where you can rent kayaks and more.
With recereation.gov, you can pick out your own site from the map.

Excellent site and perfect for staying in South Lake Tahoe area. I hope that Zephyr Cove remains available for use by the public and not sold off to some private entity.

Not impressed. Pole with site numbers are missing. Tiny bear boxes, wich by the way was filled with coal and ashes. The camping site is for 6 people yet the bear box didnt even fit one of my ice chests. Bathrooms poorly maintained. One was clogged for over a day. Over half of bathrooms were out of toilet paper and paper towels. In one shower the lights didnt work. Plenty of parking but no one checking parking permits.

No office staff on most days , so we were unable to buy ice.
On our departure date, we left our site at 8 am, then at noon we received an unkind voicemail to leave our site immediately. Rude. Otherwise the campground was nice.

Beautiful place to stay. Next time we will get a site further from the highway. Lots of traffic noise.
