ScoutThis isn't really a campground, it's a cabin resort that has a few RV spots with hookups. There are no bathrooms, showers or laundry facilities. No fire rings or BBQ grills. It is conveniently located directly across from the Carson River, but you have to cross a smaller stream to reach the river. For what is offered, it's overpriced.
Guidewe found there to be a lot of rules at this campground such as no fires, however there is a community fire pit. No driving over 5 MPH, no charcoal grills or smokers, only electric and propane grills. They are also very serious about the 11pm quiet time.
Aside from all the rules this was a very clean, family and pet friendly campground. Very clean bathrooms with showers!! There are a few lakes that are very nice for fishing and kayaking. Nice calm water for a leisurely SUP experience.
TravelerI’ll start by saying this campsite is huge , there’s like 400 sites so you got to keep that in mind when booking . We got a couple of the sites with electricity which were nice . No fire pits included because those are rented additional , lucky we had one from home . Firewood is $10 a bundle at the store so keep that in mind . The campground advertises WiFi but it’s ran from an separate company and service is extremely poor and slow so your better of using your cellphone data . This is a very active bear area with no bear boxes so keep in mind . We saw bears every single night roaming around and eating from the picnic tables . Some small , medium and extra large size . I recommend the tent sites better than the RV sites because they have a nice location and more private . The RV sites are just packed like sardines , some barely fit or stick out a few inches . Restrooms are clean and showers too . Funny detail the shower head is positioned for ADA handicap specs so you got to kneel down or seat to shower . The campground is located on the Main Street so it’s walking distance to stores or restaurants , I would go back but choose a better site on an outside loop more secluded instead of being in the middle of hundreds of rv’s
ScoutClean and best play to stay with beach access, cabins, tents sites and rv sites. Tent site can fit 2 or more tents with fire pit and picnic table. Restroom with shower and warm water.
GuideThis is a privately owned Resort with cabins, yurts, campsites, etc close to a super awesome river and with lots of great amenities, including a cafe/store, sauna, trails and a restaurant. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I didn't love the site itself that we were in especially with a $60 price tag. It was great to be close to the river, but the site was small and on a hill like a lot of them were. There were cheaper sites but I didn't see what those were like. Otherwise, we had fun playing in the water, using the sauna and having access to great amenities before going into more primitive camping. There was a fire ban while we were there, and there is NO SMOKING anywhere on their property. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.
GuideBooked a tent site. The campground was completely full. My fire ring was at the bumper of my vehicle, the picnic table was basically in someone else’s campsite, and I had to walk up a flight of stairs where the tent site was supposed to be. The site on one side of me looked down on top of me from 10 feet away, the RV site next to me was crammed on top of me as well. Their front porch was basically staring right at my site, like I would be there entertainment for the night.
I had planned to camp out of the back of my truck for a quick overnight stay. Lots of better options around.
It is nice that it is walking distance from Zephyr Cove. But Zephyr Cove was packed. Nevada beach was only a four minute drive away and much more spacious and relaxing.
$67, plus taxes and fees, for no services and being packed in like sardines, no thanks.
TravelerYou’re at Tahoe so how bad can it be? That said, RV Village at Camp Richardson is not bad, not great, but good. We are in space 57, it is definitely big enough for our 26’ TT, I think it was considered a 40’ space. Spaces are relatively close together, perhaps if a little more off-grid space was what you were looking for Fallen Leaf is 5 minutes away, it was dry camping but more elbow room. People here at Richardson were mildly friendly. John at hotel front desk was the shining star of the crew! The rest let’s just say we people skills challenged. Signage coming in was a bit tricky finding the actual RV village kiosk. If you miss first entrance and kiosk (on left) just as you approach and see hotel on right there is another entrance kiosk on left. While Camp Richardson is year round we came in early October and found some services were starting to shit down for winter.
ScoutThis campground is located in a gorgeous spot by a creek, about 7-10 minutes away from the Y. Drawbacks are that the campsites are incredibly small (about the size of a parking spot), and are pretty much on top of each other. It’s pretty inconvenient to have picnic tables right next to your neighbors fire pit. Also, we had a bear come through our campsite a couple nights during our stay. We weren’t harassed but our next door neighbors had their trunk broken into, ice chests raided, and some heavy bear breathing right next to their tents 😬
TravelerNestled on the tranquil shores of Lake Tahoe, our family's stay at the cabins was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the crystal-clear Tahoe water. My wife and I were having a celebratory wedding weekend with family, we had just gotten married (eloped) in Yosemite the day before driving to Tahoe. The cabins were full of rustic charm, very cozy, and in a great location!
One of the highlights of our trip was waking up to the beauty of Lake Tahoe right outside our window. Whether we were sipping coffee on the porch or enjoying a family campfire by the shore, the lake served as the perfect backdrop for our celebratory memories.
The campground itself was well-maintained and staffed by friendly and accommodating personnel who were very helpful when it came to our firewood needs! We took advantage of the various recreational activities available, from hiking trails to water sports, and even had a chance to roast marshmallows over a campfire under the starry night sky.
Overall, our experience at the Meeks Bay Resort cabins exceeded our expectations in every way. It provided the ideal setting for quality family time, relaxation, and adventure amidst the stunning beauty of nature. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable getaway. Everyone voted that we should do this every year so we are looking forward to making this a yearly event!
