The cool thing is we were able to get a last minute reservation as we booked it two days prior. But it's very expensive for a tent site. $140. Yikes. We never pay that much but when you're looking for something on a weekend quickly this worked. This was probably one of the more expensive KOA campgrounds. And the tent sites are right near the river. So you really couldn't hear the road all you can hear was the river. Most of them are kind of small although 161 and 162 are decent size and river access. Ours was 160 but it worked for 2 people 1 car. Definitely couldn't get anymore on our site. They definitely have lots of RV spots but check for what size will fit before booking. The roads around the campground are pretty narrow. There's absolutely no fires right now. El Dorado county has put a strict ban on them since we had Caldor fire that ripped through here 2 years ago. Propane only no charcoal either. This campground was saved. Although they're fixing things up around there. The bathroom next to the office was pretty clean and free hot showers. I think they need to bring in an extra garbage can and recycle bin. It literally was overflowing Sunday morning. Also they need to bring bear bins for each campsite as this is beer country! Now that it's open, they will be back on the hunt. Apparently the lady that checked us in, said they had a couple cubs there just the other night. Also at check in, she said they're going to be bringing in airstreams next season to rent as well. Oh, the swimming pool is in construction so not available right now. This is a really good location too for hiking, biking, boating, rock climbing. If they're open in the winter which I'm not sure, they'll be snowshoeing at the state park across the way from there. Enjoy!

Nice Park, but Disappointing Checkout Experience…read more Overall, the Lake Tahoe KOA is a nice, well-maintained campground in a convenient location, approximately 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe and its many amenities. The park was not particularly busy during our stay, and we were one of the only RVs in our area. My frustration came at checkout. We were fully hitched up and ready to leave at approximately 11:00 a.m., the designated checkout time. We stayed for another 30-40 minutes talking with friends when I noticed a message on my phone warning that I would be charged a late fee if we remained past noon. It gave me the impression that our departure was being monitored, even though we were already hitched up and ready to leave. I understand the need to enforce checkout times, especially when a campground is busy and incoming guests are waiting for sites. In those circumstances, keeping things moving is reasonable. However, the campground was practically empty, our truck and trailer were already hitched and ready to go, and we were not using any additional campground resources. With check-in not beginning until 3:00 p.m., the warning about a late fee felt unnecessary given the circumstances. We were not holding up incoming guests or preventing anyone from accessing a site, so the message seemed a bit excessive. The park itself is nice, and its location is convenient for exploring Lake Tahoe. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the checkout experience was disappointing and took away from an otherwise positive visit. A little flexibility and consideration of the circumstances would have made a difference. I hope management will consider a more guest-friendly approach in the future, as the campground has a lot going for it.

The campsites are packed closely together, and it doesn't seem like there are many rules. Most campgrounds have quiet hours after 10 PM, but that doesn't seem to apply here. The partying goes on around the clock. If you enjoy a lively atmosphere, meeting lots of people, and staying up late, this might be right up your alley. What really shocked me, though, were the prices. The owners must be making a fortune because the rates are anything but cheap, especially considering there isn't much around the area. I understand that running a campground costs money, but my goodness, how much can you justify charging for a camping spot? I honestly think we spent less when we went glamping in Zion! I'm sure the owners would explain that the high prices reflect the cost of running the operation, and I understand that businesses have expenses. Still, the sticker shock was real when I saw what my friends pay to stay here. This style of camping isn't for me, but I'm grateful to be included in my friends' annual trip. I believe this is their third year doing it, and I'm happy to be part of the tradition. Everyone has their own idea of a good camping experience, and if partying around the clock is your thing, you'll probably have a great time here. But at these prices? It's camping, y'all! low rating is due to the high prices.

I know there are super luxury resort R.V. parks out there, but I grew up going mostly to state and regional parks tent camping. We just bought a new Travel trailer, so first time not tent camping, we go about 3 or 4 times a year tent camping. It was on par with the campgrounds we go to in the Tahoe area, but with a few extras like the heated pool, and the kid"s clubhouse. My 9 year old daughter loved that place, making all kinds of arts and crafts with the art teacher on staff. Also, she recently got into fishing so the pond was a nice extra. We used this place as a base camp for our usual Tahoe activities, and spent a day at our favorite Baldwin Beach. It was nice to take a free hot shower instead of tokens at the state parks. Like I said, didn't seem much different than what we are used to, so no complaints. We enjoyed the affordable food options at the ghost town, especially after getting back from Tahoe, and not feeling like cooking. As we continue our new R.V. life, I'm sure we will get to see the more upscale places, but this place was fine for our current needs. Reminded me of my Science Camp days in school. Beautiful woods and hiking trails out in nature.

It kept everyone cozy, but still gave everyone enough space to be sane. There is a river running through behind the campsite so you hear the water and wildlife living near the water. It's right off the 88 and a 20 minute drive to the nearest town to buy groceries. There is no cell service, but that may be exactly what you're looking for. We went when it was raining, but we like the secluded feel and how it's smack dab in the middle of trees and next to water. It's 20-40 minutes drive away from the nearest lakes. Blue Lake, Caples Lake, etc. When we went to Blue Lake, it was pretty dried up and had wild fish. We only saw Caples Lake on our way back and wished we had done a day trip there. If you're driving at night like we did, be sure to keep going on the 88 and there will be a dimly lit sign on the right. It's past Sorensen Resort. Overall, this campsite is a nice gem, I'd like to keep to myself. It's not like those popular campsites in Big Sur with a lot of activity going on...which I like.
