Im not your typical camper, so when we started going campin here I loved it!! Its great!!! If you like to camp in the middle of nowhere, where the bears come out, then Camp Richardson is for you. I like Campground by the Lake because I have kids, I feel its safer here, as they have rangers walking through campground... More

This was our 2nd year camping here. You have to make reservations way in advance since it is always booked. I love the pine trees, walking to the beach and the enormous sites. This year the city was redoing the road in front of the lake. There is a nice kayak rental place right in front of the Best Western.... More

My boyfriend booked this campground for us without doing his research, and we ended up not enjoying most of our time at the campsite. It was loud, and there were a lot of people partying and smoking and drinking near us. Also, its right by a major road through S Lake Tahoe, and it didn't feel like we were really... More

Well maintained, organized, clean, great campsites! Fast free WiFi, inside city so access to everything via bike/trolley, walking, great location easy to get to mountains. Quiet time begins at 8pm so no loud parties. Shady lots of trees, not dusty. Only downside is it is near highway so you hear traffic all night long. Highly recommended. More

What a joke! The website for this place is totally deceiving. Camping along the highway is not camping. I was beyond bummed out when we arrived, so upset in fact that even after paying for 2 nights I decided to call up a few other campsites in Tahoe to see if anyone had any openings. Ended up staying two nights... More

Camp has rules not to make noise from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am, although loud equipment in either or both of the two yards ( maintenance yard - corp yard ) gets started up at 5:00 am and /or about 7:00 am. It is not what I feel is true campng. You are close to the city and can bike... More

We've been coming to Tahoe for many summers, now , and have never stayed at Campground by the Lake. We always wanted to, but didn't, until this summer. We have loved staying here and enjoyed all the amenities and close proximity to the lake, stateline, laundromat, grocery store and restaurants. We walked and biked everywhere. We've enjoyed the whole experience!... More

We have been coming to Tahoe for family vacations each summer for 12 years. We usually stay in a condo but are on a budget this year and rather then opt out, we decided to camp instead. Located across the hwy from the lake with an amazing lake view! Perfect for budget minded families who want to spend a few... More

Every year my family and I go to Lake Tahoe and camp at Campground by the Lake. It is off of hwy 50 about 3 miles from the casinos and there is a beach right across the street or you can drive to nearby beaches-Baldwin Beach, Pope Beach, Camp Richardson, etc. The campground is very clean and quiet although it...
