Tahoe Valley Campground

South Lake Tahoe

Great campground! Lots of available spots and good size spaces in between campsites. The showers were clean and water was hot. Close to walkable grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, gear rentals, etc. and best part?? Like 7 min to heavenly. You can be the first on the lift with barely trying!! Love it here and can’t wait to be back!

Great spot!

Large clean campground in the pine trees.  Great staff and service. Make it easy to check in and out. Store has lots to offer. Clean restrooms. Close to a lot of activities.  And a large, clean dog park for all the happy doggies! Excellent place to stay highly recommended 👌

Excellent

Our cottage is advertised for 6 people. We were 3 adults and were wondering how 6 people can feel comfortable in this tiny cottage. There is no closet and no room to put your luggage.However the cottage is very cozy and might be a good fit for a family with small children. 

Tiny Cozy Cottage

Great location for lake tahoe and nearby attractions. Easy to commute by car. The check in/out process is simple and convenient. There is no free wifi but at the same time mobile signal is not good at all. It was like forcing us to purchase for internet.

Good value and service

I rarely write reviews and this is my only negative one on here so far. Please keep that in mind.  

I knew it would be small, no big deal, but it was advertised as fitting 6 people.  It does not.  We were just 2 adults so it was fine but adding 1-2 kids is the max I would ever put in here.  Be warned, the small bunk bed was located in a closet.  I’m not joking.

The fire alarm was hanging by wires from the ceiling upon entering our small cabin unit.  Also there was no carbon monoxide alarm in the unit.  I called the help line and Nicole and another woman (a ranger?) we’re very helpful and got us one the next day.  This put us at ease.  We had a wonderful trip until the last day which really soured the entire experience in Tahoe.  At 11:05am on checkout day, the female custodian with the microphone-painted car (older woman, maybe 55-60) frantically knocked on the door and became immediately irritable.  I said we were leaving now (our bags were obviously packed and staged).  I also asked if we would get charged especially since we were making everything tidy and were leaving right then.  She said we had to get out now because she needed to clean the unit, even though she had no supplies with her at the time. I apologized for being late and explained why, then she told me not to “patronize her” as she put on her headphones and walked away.  When she had come to the door, I was just finishing up cleaning everything and even folding the sheets so she would not have to.  She was nice to us on the first day when we got the room key, so it was upsetting when she was so dismissive on the last.  Check in wasn’t even for another 4 hours and the place was deserted on a Thursday morning.  I was still charged for a cleaning/late fee even when explaining this to the front desk.  I have other friends who had planned to come here and one that has already booked (they were how well found out about this place).  I will be telling them about this experience.  

The last interaction was so shocking that it gave a bad feeling to a wholesome and positive experience in Tahoe.  Im still thinking about it now (maybe she was having a bad day?) I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but she was just mean.  I generally wouldn’t even write a review like this and I would let it go, but really, it doesn’t hurt to be polite.  We will not be back.  

Bad ending to an otherwise nice trip

We stayed in a cozy 4 person cabin during President's week. My kids were able to play in the snow right behind our cabin and so we didn't have to go anywhere else. The cabin was clean and had small appliances that included a coffee maker, toaster and electrical frying pan. I was grateful that they had the campground plowed daily. The employees there were kind, attentive and responsive. We can't wait to go back! 

Great campground in Tahoe!

It was cold but love it !!!!! We love this place we come here about 2-3 times a year for the last 5 years if we camp it’s here just beautiful the trees are giants !!!! It’s a must if you haven’t camped here 

Clean and worth it !!!!

The staff clears enough snow out of the RV sites for you to park, but the snow greatly reduces the size of your site. They also don't clear or prevent any of the ice so our campsite was completely covered in thick ice and we were slipping and falling throughout our entire stay.

Beautiful and excellent location but beware in the winter

We were very happy with our small cabin. The place was very clean and cozy for my family. It is a convenient location. Staff was super friendly and accommodating.   We will definitely be going back for our next trip.

Snow trip

Best place and staff i have ever had the pleasure of camping at. The campground was clean and well taken care of and it was great for families as well. I stayed in winter and it had sledding hills for kids.
