RV Camping in Lake Tahoe
One word will never be enough to encompass the beauty Lake Tahoe holds, in my personal opinion. It’s breathtaking, heart-stopping, dazzling, and drool-worthy all in one.
The famous view of the sparkling sapphire lake that stretches out before you and the snowy mountain range that looms just below the skyline is an unforgettable sight you must take in at least once in your life.
During the summer, the highest temperature is 27°C, which is still relatively cold if you’re from a tropical country. But here in the States that 27°C is 80°F and that’s a great temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold.
Lake Tahoe is one of the best campgrounds you will ever experience after this pandemic. Here are seven RV campgrounds that will prove my point.
Camp Richardson Campground
Everything you can possibly do in Lake Tahoe is right here in this campground. Be it summer, winter, spring, or fall – diverse and fun-filled activities are headed your way in Camp Richardson Campground no matter what season it may be.
You even have the option to bring your own camping gear, your RV, or rent one of their cabins, duplexes, beach-side inns, or a room in the hotel.
Now, this is the kind of situation anyone would want to have available. When you camp here during the winter, you can spend all day under the sun making snowmen.
Or maybe you make snow angels with your loved ones, but those are not the only things you can do.
You can also avail yourself of their rentals to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of skiing or snowshoeing here.
If you’re already excited about what you can do at this campground during the winter that’s not all. You’ll be even more hyped up with what you can do during the summer.
You can bike and hike in the trails at this campsite, and you can also savor Lake Tahoe on water.
Take the cruises and water taxis to visit renowned places and see the majestic view of the land and water. Also view the mountain range this campground has to offer.

They’re patiently waiting for you to experience all the fun when everything returns to normal. So, don’t you dare miss out, reader.

This campground is another travel destination you just have to feast your eyes upon while breathing in the fresh air straight from the forest and the sea.
Fallen Leaf Campground has 206 campsites for RVs, cabins, and regular camping tents. It usually operates all throughout the summer; although, there are restrictions right now because of the pandemic.
