"The campground is in a beautiful setting, easy to get to, and right off the Highway."

"This campground is on the West side in California about halfway up Lake Tahoe. You take a very winding and narrow two-lane road."
"I had the opportunity to stay in this campground when it was nearly empty."
$20 / night
"Lake is calm, but it was too windy to set up the tent. Overnight temps in the 30's for Memorial weekend. Few trees, little shade. Lots of off road vehicles and RVs, but not a lot of noise from them."
"the lake is a great swimming temp in june, the views are gorgeous, and there’s plenty of trees and shade. i was lucky to have the spot i was in because there was plenty of foliage to keep my site fairly"
$59 - $94 / night
"We've always like zephyr cove as it's a bit away from the south shore hectic crowds. Zephyr cove rv park has a ton of rvs, but rent camping as well."
"Short walk across the highway to the beach, which is nice, but couldn’t get over proximity to other campers. We enjoyed our night but likely won’t visit again."
$35 - $165 / night
"Lake tahoe is one of the most beautiful place in California. There are plenty of state parks and campsites around the lake, but D.L. Bliss is one of my favorite."
"We got a site right along the lake (stairs to the beach were just adjacent to our site) and there were only 2 other people in the entire campground."
GuideUnfortunately , a fire has wiped out this once stunning campground. We will be anxiously awaiting when they revive this area, but the trees that once existed are gone .
GuideWe were at another location up the road that was listed on Dyrt and the Forest Service Fire Team came up and started talking and they suggested this site and its awesome. You cross the bridge over the river and the trail is to the right. There are a total of 3 established sites. The 3rd site requires a vehicle with a little more clearance. We got our group to the second site and that included a van camper that was 2wd so its easy to get to the first two sites. All the sites are on the river and have paths down tonthe water with a little beach. When we were there I early June the water was still very cold. It's a popular fishing spot with the locals. Not much traffic at all as its on a side street. Each site is large enough for 3 campers to fit. Stone fire pits hard already been established as well. Would definitely come back given the chance.
ScoutThis campground is well played out, with nice shade trees. There is a decent laundry facility and pool/spa access. All this and easy access from the freeway. For those who enjoy some adult games, there is a casino that you can spend some time and support the Nevada economy. You might earn a prime rib dinner if you get a players card and earn enough points.
ScoutA paved road leads you up into a recently deforested area that seems to have had a fire recently. Found a nice spot near the top with a wide open clearing, perfect for watching the sun set next to a fire. Very quiet. Will likely be back at some point.
ScoutRelatively quiet and well maintained, the sites were more compact than we expected. It is great if you are planning to spend your time exploring the area. There is quite a bit of sap, but I suppose that is normal for this time of year.
Travelerthe campground is typical - flat for parking and tents. bathrooms with flush toilets. it’s very close to US HWY 50, and the road noise reflects that.
ScoutSpent one night here. A little airplane noise, but tolerable. General vibe was a very quiet space. Lovely campground among the pine trees overlooking a small lake.
ScoutStayed here 7 months besides the constant nagging from maintenance… which I get… it’s nice and they wanna keep it that way. Overall great place to stay NOV-JUNE
ScoutNever saw anyone working to rv park. That maybe a good thing, or not. Store had no inventory. Basic needs & full hookups. Not much to look at but it is high desert. Close to the town of Virginia City. When we got here the wind was blowing incredibly. No fires allowed. Park was on the mall side with several year round residents if you know what I mean. Overall it is just a place to stay if you there to see the touristy Virginia City.
