Best Glamping near Carson City, NV

Carson RV Resort and Zephyr Cove Resort provide luxury glamping accommodations near Lake Tahoe, each featuring distinctive canvas tents and cabin-style glamping options with upscale amenities. Both locations offer climate-controlled environments, comfortable bedding, and private facilities uncommon in traditional camping. "We absolutely love this campground. Nestled along the shores of Lake Tahoe, this is an amazing campground. We love the proximity to all things the lake has to offer. Clean, friendly and cozy," wrote one visitor about Zephyr Cove. The boutique camping experience includes full hookup capability, with many sites featuring sewer connections, electric service, and water access—amenities crucial for the premium glamping experience. These accommodations maintain eco-friendly practices while providing resort-level comfort, with some featuring picnic areas, market access, and trash service.

Situated just across Highway 50 from Lake Tahoe, Zephyr Cove glamping sites provide immediate beach access and water recreation opportunities. The sites are nestled among pine trees, offering a forest atmosphere despite proximity to the shoreline. One reviewer noted, "The beach is close by and fantastic in the summer. So are the Pine Trees that are all around the campsite." Year-round accessibility makes these locations suitable for both summer lake activities and winter exploration of nearby Carson City attractions. While high season runs May through October at several locations, Carson RV Resort operates throughout the year, providing consistent access to boutique camping experiences. Reservations are recommended as these premium accommodations frequently reach capacity, particularly during summer months when glampers seek Lake Tahoe's pristine beaches and refreshing mountain climate.

Tahoe Valley Campground
Overall an ok experience
I’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

Coyote Group Campground
Coyote Group Camp
• Large croup camp site with lots of flat places to pitch a tent. • Clean pit toilets. • 3x Bear food and 4x trash/recycling bins. • 2 (or 3?) water spigots • 4 big picnic tables • Some shade • Uneven terrain around sites and lots of fallen trees • Lots of parking, including triller/RV parking. Parking is paved and flat.

• Walking distance to the river • Big fire pit

We enjoyed this site! Excellent for a big group. I think we had 18 people. There could an additional bear bin to support as much food/scented items as a group of 25 would need. We ended up using the extra bear-proof trash bins as overflow scented item/food storage. Worked well.

Thousand Trails Snowflower
SUP and kayak friendly
we 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.

Buried in snow, so hard to judge
The camp was buried in snow so it’s hard to judge it fairly.

Some of the sites had been plowed, so we were thankful for a spot and had fun with the snowy setting.

Well treed and seems to have great potential. Facilities seem updated.

Definitely a great location for exploring the area. Right across the street from Lake Tahoe. Plenty of retail and restaurants nearby and Carson City is 22 minutes away.

Highland Lakes Campground
Remote but busy
This campground is at the end of a long dirt road. 4x4 is apparently not strictly necessary but I would recommend it, particularly given the unpredictable weather (hail storm on July 25).

The views at the lakes are breathtaking. The campground is next to the smaller lake and has two sections. One is right by the road, fairly open and flat, and the other a bit up the hill, with sites that are more private, nestled around the trees. Most sites had fire pits with grills and a picnic table. Both sides have drinking well water with a had pump. Bathrooms were fairly clean and stocked with tp. The groundskeeper was friendly and helpful. The lakes are cold but apparently there is some trout. Looked like fly fishing was the way to go.

The main downside was how busy the area was, both with campers and day users. Given the COVID situation, reservations are not accepted and driving that road to end up without a campsite would be very unfortunate but highly likely. We ended up camping one night on the side of the road and were fortunate to get a spot for our second night.

Carson RV Resort
Worthy of the resort title!
We normally prefer wilderness parks, and generally avoid RV parks. We’ve stayed in a few though and this one is by far the absolute nicest one we’ve ever stayed in!! It recently changed ownership and the new owners have invested in a first-class place! We had to find a last minute place on a Sunday due to the Davis Creek Regional park fire. We pulled in here and were helped by a wonderful young woman in the office. What I liked most about this place was that it is more spacious than typical RV parks. Also, more importantly, the bathrooms were amazing and deserving of the “resort” name. While there may have been a few rigs here longer term, their sites were neat and orderly. The location is by a highway (and behind Costco), but the noise wasn’t bad at all. The pool area is beautiful and includes outdoor grills and a gas fire pit. There is minimal shade as the trees are all new. The laundry rooms (2!) were lovely. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Beautiful and well run facility. Does it compare to a state or National park, no. But for what it is it is outstanding!

Silver Lake East- Eldorado
Beautiful Serene Campground
Stayed at this Campground in the beginning of August. It was absolutely stunning. Super close to this place called The Pots. We arrived near sundown. Unpacked our gear and then walked to The Pots from our campsites. The views were amazing. The campsite host had fire wood for sale. There were new bathroom facilities installed. There were no showers or sinks. There was a fire pit at every campsite and a picnic table as well. Well worth it! Would definitely come here again.

What a great spot in Sunnyside/Tahoe City.
What a great spot in Sunnyside/Tahoe City. This is the cleanest campground we’ve ever stayed in. When we arrived the camp hosts were very welcoming and informative with local suggestions (we’re up here at least 8-10 times a year if only on a day drip or long and I learned some insights) they also warned about momma bear and her cubs. Unfortunately we never caught a glimpse but a good warning to be careful with where you leave food. The bathrooms were cleaned several times a day and even had soap. Our site was freshly raked and the fire pit was freshly cleaned out as well. The campers were respectful and not a party crowd like you can get on the South Shore. We will definitely be back.
