if you expect any level of professional hospitality, don't hold your breath. Firstly, the lady who checked us in forgot to hand me a paper to apply to the post which led to an old man harassing my wife. When attempting to get the paper from their office we were told we misplaced it, they implied we were liars when I said I hadn't gotten a second piece of paper (40 minutes prior), the lady raised her voice at us (two very obvious adults) and then proceeded to throw a weird hissy fit. At one point I exclaimed "Jesus Christ" out of frustration and then the old lady from earlier said "I gave them both slips, should we just kick them out?!" I mean she admitted not only that I was 1. A paying customer, but also 2, already checked into the campsite. I mean the mental bounds there ... They made an entirely unecessary dramatic situation over a small piece of paper. All on my son's birthday too so don't expect nice, and if you get it then be appreciative I guess. I mean I won't be going back. Pros: clean, close to the lake, flat, bathrooms, large and small campsites. Close to amenities and food. Cons: cold summer winds, fridgid temps at night. No showers, for the high cost to camp there you would think they would get some showers. Camp was dead silent at 10pm (this may be a pro to a lot of people but not me, not on a holiday weekend.) Proximity to the highway and all it's night time noise.

It's a complete joy to spend time here! Beautiful sandy beaches with lots of space, crystal clear Tahoe waters and incredible views of the Sierras. Well kept clean beaches with easy parking during the week and convenient restroom facilities. This is now our go to beach whenever we're in Lake Tahoe.

When we got there, the beach was closed, but you were still allowed to walk down the trail and play in the sand and cool, clear, water. You can bring your dogs too. Just keep in mind that when it's closed, the bathrooms are not open.

Very nice beach for watching the sunset. Lots of great sand, can be a little on the windy side but fine for sunbathing. Staff for campground registration was super friendly and hoped me out even though I didn't have a reservation. Helpful tip... They have three campsites for drive ups but they don't release them until 5pm. Bathrooms where clean, campground was clean and it seems the guests here are respectful and quite.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

The entire lake is a free sight of sorts. The beaches are all closed for parking until probably memorial Day, so some require a bit of a trot to get to the beach.

DO YOU HAVE DAY USE AREAS ON THE BEACH, IF SO WHAT IS THE COST? AND CAN WE MAKE A A RESERVATION? WE WERE UNABLE TO ONLINE THANK YOU

Brian Ciocci | May 11, 2019
Deborah Kindig | May 12, 2019

Your biggest issue will be parking. There is a fee to park in the parking lot at Nevada Beach but it fills up quickly. There is free overflow parking along the street though. There are multiple ways to get to the beach so, aside from that parking fee [if there's room in the lot], I don't believe there is a fee to access the beach. [I was camping when I visited so there were no additional fees and I don't think they're set up to take walk in fees from individuals.] If you want to bring your dog, you can go further down the beach where there is a designated dog area. The gazebo that was mentioned has a fee attached if you wanted to book it exclusively for a personal event so I don't think that's going to be of interest to a simple day use visit. Have fun. I believe the fee to park was $10 [or it was $10 if you have the Senior Citizen National Forrest Membership which gets you half off but I'm pretty sure that discount let members in for $5].

Are you able to shore fish if you have your fishing license

Tra Brooks | May 11, 2019
Volklskier | May 12, 2019

Yes, & it is correct, a license for either state is valid for Lake Tahoe. If you want to catch a nice size fish, an inflated nightcrawler or live minnow will produce a larger size fish ( especially if you use minnows). :-{D

Antonio Orozco | May 11, 2019

The South end of the beach, and certain campsites are designated for dogs. The dog beach at the campground is VERY good. Most dogs have been friendly we we have been there. The State beach has a labeled path (with paw prints) to take you to the dog beach. If you ask nicely, the staff is nice about directing you to the proper areas.
