West of Lake Tahoe along Highway 50, Sierra Inn at Tahoe sits in forested terrain near the South Fork American River. The campground provides electric hookups for RVs alongside walk-in tent sites, with drinking water, restroom facilities, and hot showers available throughout the property. WiFi access keeps campers connected, while picnic tables and fire rings support traditional camping activities.
Pets are welcome on leash, and the campground accepts reservations for stays ranging from $125-$140 per night. The location offers drive-in access for most sites and serves as a base for exploring the greater Lake Tahoe region. China Flat Campground provides another option southeast for those seeking alternatives in the area.
Description
Sierra Inn on the River, located in Kyburz, CA, lives up to the name with the South Fork of the American in our backyard. Perfect for exploring the incredible lakes, trails, and mountains of the El Dorado Forest and Sierra Lake Tahoe Basin.
Our accommodations are located only 20 minutes from Sierra at Tahoe Ski Resort and 30 minutes from South Lake Tahoe. Or head the other direction and visit the historic Gold Rush towns along the western Sierra Nevada. The Sierra Inn is a top choice for hikers as they launch into Desolation Wilderness.
Our rooms have either two beds (queen and full) or a king; all with modern amenities including AC, TV with DirecTV, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Rooms are being updated, so reserve a “fully renovated room” if you prefer a room with all new finishes. All rooms are pet friendly (pet fee applies). Our family and pet-friendly rooms are casually appointed for adventures and road-trippers to rest and relax. Or head out back to enjoy a picnic or firepit by the river.
