Beautiful lake views

It’s hard to miss Kaspian campground because it’s right off the road if you’re headed south towards South Lake Tahoe. I loved this campground because every sunrise and sunset we had the perfect view of the alpine glow from our site. The lake is literally across the road from the campground. There is service and Tahoe city is really close by for what ever necessities are needed. It is a hike in campsite, but it’s not that bad. There’s a parking lot and you just bring your stuff up to your site. The campground hosts are incredibly helpful and very kind. Something I didn’t love about the campground was how right off the road it was. You hear cars constantly driving by. But other than that everything is really awesome!

Within view of lake tahoe

Good campsite located right by eagle Rock and 10 mins from Tahoe City. There's a stream that follows the dirt road by the campground and therea a picnic area 30 yards from the campsite directly on the lake. Only downside was being pretty close to the main road around the lake.
