Nice but crowded
The area is nice, it is not near the lake but the lake is only a small drive away. The place is crowded and they pack you in here, but our site (113) was a nice place in the corner. There are much better sites with more room near the dog park if you are looking for more space.

Loved the scenery
Gorgeous spot. Park undergoing renovations and roads a little tight but all in all a beautiful park. Great dog park

Easy and Central
We came into south lake to visit family. This campground is right in town but there’s enough space and trees to give it a natural setting. Bathrooms are great and it’s pretty quiet considering it’s popular. Looks great for families and there’s a dog park, pool and trails.

Fun park
This was where we went for our first outing with the travel trailer. The staff was very helpful. The dog park is AMAZING HUGE AND FENCED.

Topaz Lodge RV Park
Great place
I really liked this place. I stayed a month and wouldn't have minded staying longer.
The General Store had lots of supplies, and they gave RV customers a discount on "souvenirs".
I didn't use the showers or restrooms (although I did pay the $10, refundable, deposit for a key).
The staff was extremely nice.
There are plenty of trash cans around the park. They are emptied almost daily.
Pets are welcome. Dogs must be on leashes and picked up after. (There were lots of people there with dogs and/or cats.)
The spaces are roomy and each space has a picnic table. However, there was no grass, except near the hotel and near the horseshoe pits. (So, no grass at the sites.) Also, there wasn't much shade. ☹️ Sites are quite level, and are graveled. Hookups were very accessible.
The view of the lake was beautiful. However, I had to drive about 5 miles (to the County Park) in order to actually get to the water. ☹️. This would have been very inconvenient, if I hadn't had a toad.
All in all, I really enjoyed my stay at this park.

Tahoe Valley Campground
Tahoe Valley
It’s a nice park with a store and lots of things to do (pool, tennis court, etc) but we preferred a campground down the road for cheaper for the views of the lake. It’s dirt here so be prepared for everything to get dirty or muddy! We paid for the 5.2gb wifi since ours is having trouble connecting. I’d stay here again but wasn’t my favorite, I liked the general store a lot, cute gifts and things! They do have a really big dog park which we loved too, the dogs also seemed to love it!

Silver City RV Resort
Convenient location with great amenities
Great location if you want to be near Costco and the capital city. Great views of the Sierras and the Carson valley. Sites are narrow, about twice the width of your RV, and separated by chain link fencing. But all sites are perfectly flat, paved pull-throughs; easy in, easy out parking. Also electric, water, sewer hookup, cable and strong wifi and cell service. Sites are gravel, but the campground has nice grassy dog parks, clean bathrooms and laundry, and well-stocked store with propane refill. Pool and fishing pond were closed but looked great. We were there in early April 2021; with our binoculars we could see skiers at the top of Heavenly Mountain ski area!

Winter Wonderland !!
We had a great time at this winter paradise!! South Lake Tahoe had gotten 20 inches of snow in the 14 days prior to our arrival, then got four more inches while we were there. Practice your backing up, the plowed snow made some of the pull through sites back in only!! The huge, beautiful trees made for some additional obstacles. The best part of our stay was the assistance we received from TERRY in changing sites and getting set up. The campground is close enough to all the activities in South Lake Tahoe. The plowed snow and ice made walking through the campground very difficult, but there wasn’t anyplace else you could put it. The dog park was great!! When you’re traveling with a Great Dane and Australian Shepard, that’s a big deal!! We’ll stay here again...maybe in the summer!!
Guide to Twin Bridges
Dispersed camping options near Twin Bridges, California provide flexibility for pet owners seeking alternatives to established campgrounds. The area sits at approximately 6,000 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada mountains, where summer temperatures average 75-85°F during the day and can drop to 40°F at night. Camping season typically runs from late May through October, with occasional snow possible even in early summer months.
What to do
Hiking with dogs: Luther Pass Camping offers trails with stream access where dogs can cool off during summer hikes. "Great campground with kids running around and riding bikes... Hot showers and well lit clean bathrooms," notes a camper at Tahoe Valley Campground.
Beach access: Take pets to dog-friendly sections of Lake Tahoe. "There is a smaller dog-friendly area of the beach, so if you're bringing your pup(s), your beach access will be limited to that area only," explains a visitor at Nevada Beach Campground.
Winter recreation: Camp at Echo Lake SNO Park with your pets during winter months. "We ended up camping in a truck camper at Tahoe Valley Campground after being caught in a snow storm... nothing beats making a fire in the snow and waking up to a couple of feet of white fluffiness!" shares one winter camper.
What campers like
Bear-safe storage: Most campgrounds provide bear boxes for food storage. At Eagle Point Campground, "Park rangers are present and will ticket you if not compliant with placing items/trash in bear boxes, warnings given first though."
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain regular cleaning schedules. "The bathrooms are not maintained outside of the season and watch out for black widows in the corners of the bathrooms," warns a camper at Grover Hot Springs State Park.
Lake activities: Several pet-friendly camping areas offer water recreation. "Ice House Reservoir is great for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or stand up paddle boarding. The reservoir gives you plenty of places to explore on the water and plenty of great spots for fishing," notes a visitor at Ice House Campground.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Book well in advance for summer stays. At Fallen Leaf Campground, a camper advises, "It is hard to get a site. Be ready. Set alerts."
Bear awareness: Bears frequently visit campsites in this region. "You really need to pay attention to your food. Bears are not just possible here, they are likely," warns a Fallen Leaf Campground visitor.
Seasonal variations: Facilities and access change throughout the year. "Camp host was a great help for local recommendations for day trips and directions to a general store about 40min drive away," mentions a Grover Hot Springs camper.
Tips for camping with families
Evening activities: Many campgrounds offer organized events. "They put on a ton of events like karaoke nights, live music, and smores nights," notes a Tahoe Valley visitor.
Beach proximity: Choose campsites with easy beach access when camping with children. "Short walk to the private beach... We encountered a mama bear and her 2 cubs quite a few times but everyone worked together to make noises," shares a visitor at Eagle Point Campground.
Accessible trails: Look for family-friendly hiking options. At D.L. Bliss State Park, "Rubicon trail is absolutely stunning, and can be rather long since it goes into emerald bay. Nonetheless worth the hike. The beauty of camping here is that you are so close to the lake!"
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites carefully based on your RV's needs. "The pads if you are pulling a trailer or in a RV are narrow. As are the roads. We watched several people come real close to dropping into a ditch," warns a camper at Grover Hot Springs.
Dump station access: Plan for waste management when camping with pets. "Only 3 stars because of hookup situation and extra charge to dump," mentions a visitor at Campground by the Lake regarding pet-friendly camping near Twin Bridges.
Winter RV considerations: Prepare for cold weather if camping outside summer months. "We weren't able to connect to water because of freezing temperatures," notes a winter visitor at Tahoe Valley Campground.
