Tahoe Adventure Sports Camping Information

Guide to public and private campgrounds in the Lake Tahoe area.

Camping at Lake Tahoe is as varied as the people who come here. You can find everything from full service campgrounds with hook-ups, hot showers, and a store to tent only camps with nothing but drop toilets. And of course, there is always the backcountry. (see Hiking & Back Packing) Here we list the car/RV camping opportunities at Lake Tahoe, divided by location. We've put the campgrounds in alphabetical order. Please let the campground know that you heard of them on Tahoe Adventure Sports.com. Happy camping!
