Tahoe State Recreation Area reviews
5 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.
A wonderful place to spend a pleasant day and be able to practice water activities.
This was a great campground. Bathrooms were clean. The walk from the campground to the beach and playground area is quick (and well lit at night). It is convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. The nearby farmer's market was a fantastic way to find some pastries and local produce.
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.
