The highway is currently under construction so we got to hear jackhammers and heavy machinery 10 yards from our site ALL NIGHT (plus their floodlights shining in our tent). Needless to say, we barely slept. The sites along the lake look nice but I can only comment on our experience and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Don’t stay here if the only sites available are the ones along the highway.

Small dog friendly campground in Tahoe City right on Lake Tahoe. Beautiful lake views and sunsets. Only downside was the lack of space between campsites (very little privacy) and distance to the road. Our campsite was literally right next to the road, so we could hear dads passing all night. Otherwise was a beautiful spot

Pros: right by the lake, $10 firewood bundles for sale, bear locker for food (mandatory to use) Cons: really close to the road so there are cars whirring by (but at our campsite by the lakeside it was hardly noticeable) At least two different campsites we checked had the bear lockers full of trash. The locker we had at our campsite had somebody's smashed plate with writing on it for somebody's selfish self healing stuff. The fire pits are kind of nasty, had some broken glass and plenty of cigarette butts in it. Plus some of them have the older fire pits without the air holes in the side for air flow so the fire doesn't get a very clean burn. Pro and con: extremely close to the town (the CVS is literally a 5 minute or less walk away) We were able to easily switch our campsite from 11 to 15. The campsite at 11 was right next to the lakeside homes of the residents there, which is pretty unappealing when going camping to say the least. The dock that you can walk down to is very beautiful. Highly recommend this place strictly for the beautiful view of the lake. The campground employee was helpful in coming to clean out the mess from our bear locker.

This is a beautiful spot to camp. The campsite has about 27 or 28 spots, easily navigated on foot. The campsite is right beside the town!! There's a paved path that leads into town along the edge of the lake, there are lights when night falls. let's say cooking isn't your thing, you are literally a walk away from downtown; there's a Safeway, coffee shops, restaurants Galore, some shopping, ice cream shops all within a short walk. The bathrooms are clean and well lit, I did not see any scary bugs. Hot water! coin operated showers with excellent water pressure and hot water. they are serious about their bare boxes. Keep all your food safe and you will be safe.

Excellent walking trail. 3 miles from Incline Village to Sand Harbor. Beautiful views and great picture taking. $2 per person to get into Sand Harbor for a little relaxing before heading back. Hit the Kokanee Bar and Grill for some excellent food and drinks. Awesome!!

Great campground with adequate services. Right at the town so everything is in walking distance. Beautiful view of Tahoe and the marina. Kirby and Denise were great host there. It was a pleasure to visit and the climate was very nice.

Camped for a few nights. It is walking distance to the lake, multiple shops, and dining.

The view is to die for. The lake is so clean you can see the bottom. Come here early to see all of the lake!

Tahoe State Recreations Area feels more like a BYObed motel than a campground. That can be good or bad depending on your personal preferences. If you've read my other reviews, you know I like boondocking and only camp in "improved" campgrounds in touristy areas out of necessity. There are some pros; I imagine this is the cheapest place you can stay anywhere near Lake Tahoe. You're walking distance to the lake and a great bike trail. The restrooms are clean, the showers are cheap and hot, you're close to North Lake Tahoe shopping and dining and a rocks throw away from Safeway. These are the cons: the campground is small and tightly packed, the adjacent road is loud and trafficked 24/7. The spots are small. I mean small. We have a 19 ft trailer and could not park our trailer and truck in the same spot. The camp host recommended we park at Safeway and walk to the campground. Instead, I asked a neighbor if I could take up one of their parking spots since they had a small car and a tent. Thank you again whoever that anonymous neighbor was. If you want a cheap place to stay while you visit Tahoe look no further. If you want to go camping, look further. A lot further. As I laid in bed, listening to constant vehicle traffic and foot traffic, nervous my bikes or paddle board would be stolen, I wished I would have camped further away from the city.

Right smack dab in Tahoe City but a nice walk to the nearby beach. Safeway is right there for all of your culinary needs
