Best Cabin Camping near Glenbrook, NV

Cabin facilities at Lake Tahoe campgrounds offer overnight shelter options without the hassle of setting up a tent. Meeks Bay Resort & Marina includes rustic cabin units with electricity and basic furnishings for visitors seeking lake access with modest amenities. Nevada Beach Campground provides cabin accommodations with picnic tables and fire pits, located within walking distance to Lake Tahoe's sandy beaches. "The cabins were full of rustic charm, very cozy, and in a great location," notes one visitor who stayed at Meeks Bay Resort. Most cabins have electric power, though heating systems vary by location and season. William Kent Campground features cabin options nestled among the pines, though sites are reportedly close together.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Nevada Beach Campground cabins operate seasonally from mid-May through mid-October, while Tahoe Valley Campground provides cabin rentals year-round for visitors seeking winter accommodations. Reservations are required and fill quickly during summer months, particularly at waterfront locations. Pet policies vary by facility—Nevada Beach Campground permits pets in select cabins while Meeks Bay Resort maintains a no-pet policy for cabin rentals. According to one visitor at Meeks Bay, "The campground itself was well-maintained and staffed by friendly and accommodating personnel who were very helpful when it came to our firewood needs."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from simple countertops to modest cooking areas with limited equipment. Cabins at Meeks Bay Resort provide basic amenities but lack full kitchens, so guests should plan accordingly. On-site camp stores at select properties offer firewood, ice, and limited groceries. Bathrooms with running water and flush toilets are typically located in central facilities rather than inside individual cabins. Token-operated showers are available at some locations, with current rates around $2 for 4 minutes of hot water. Village Camp Truckee provides more fully equipped cabin options with private bathrooms for those seeking enhanced comfort.

    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.

    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

    Desolation Hotel - Hope Valley

    Great location & amenities

    This 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.

    Fallen Leaf Campground - South Lake Tahoe

    Beautiful campground

    Sites have lots of space, table, fire ring and generally level drive pads. Water spigots are not too far. Showers scattered throughout camp though not every bathroom has them. There is a small camp store that has wifi. Book far in advance to get a spot in summer.

    Lake Tahoe KOA - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Doable

    This 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 😬

    Family, campfires, and S’more: The Lowdown On Meeks Bay

    Nestled 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!

    Harvey West Cabin

    Great family location

    2 private bedrooms and 2 loft rooms. Lofts are open to large living room and noise transfers easily. Very small kitchen and small fridge. Bring extra ice chests. Big outside deck with view of swimming hole. Hiking.

    Fallen Leaf Campground - South Lake Tahoe

    Nice location, but has a few major issues

    We got a last minute cancelled site at the Fallen Leaf Campground, and thought we’d truly lucked out. We stayed at site 87 which is nestled among towering native pine trees on the South end of the campground and one of the few sites which doesn’t have neighbors on all sides. The sites have the standard standing BBQ's and fire rings at all sites (but we couldn’t utilize them because of the fire ban), old picnic tables and various amounts of space for RV’s/cars and the tried and true bear box. In this campground you NEED to utilize the bear boxes. They have signs everywhere about the mass amount of bear activity and how there is a mother and her 2 cubs which have been terrorizing the campground for some time this season (2018). Again, you need to keep everything (food, toiletries, etc.) in the bear box at all times. The sites are reservable, and on top of the $35 (nonelectric) per site there is a $7 fee for a second vehicle, Yurts go for $86 which do have power and a nonrefundable $10 service fee…. While the campground allows dogs, they aren’t allowed in the Yurts.

    There’s lots of bear proof dumpsters around the campground, lots of potable water in strategic spots and a number of decent restrooms, and it was nice that at some of them they provided hot (pay) showers (at $1 per 3 minutes) and while the ADA has some control the standard one has no control over the heat or pressure its simply on or off. Also, the restrooms have no soap, paper towels, or hand dryers, etc. Which was a little disappointing for the cost.

    My biggest disappointment in the setup of the campground has to do with the bears and cleaning your dishes. There is no dish-washing area in the entire ~200 site, ~14 bathroom campground. They specifically ask that you don’t wash your dishes in the sinks or at the water spigots as they don’t want any food particles going down the drains. So, when I asked about disposing of the dish water they said to just toss it at the base of a tree, as it’s dry and the trees would appreciate it. This doesn’t help keep the bears away… While we scrapped and collected every bit of food waste we could and tossed it into the dumpsters, ff you’re just tossing food scrap-soaked water at the base of the trees the bears are going to come for the smell… I’ve stayed at other sites in bear country which have setups for disposing of the waste water and food scraps to detract bears and Fallen Leaf definitely is lacking and this is possibly part of the reason they’re having such an issue with bears.

    While, our site (87) would probably normally be a great location with the Fallen Leaf Lake being the only thing behind you and no neighbors on at least 2 of your sides, we happened to somehow book the same weekend that a corporate event was taking over the vast majority of the campground with almost 200 people….

    While, not entirely the campgrounds fault it was a little disruptive to have this mass number of people come directly next to us in site 88 for their meals as they’d decided to make that site the meal prep site for breakfast (they started prep at 5:30 am) and dinner (we actually had to ask the drunk group to stop screaming at midnight) these were both well outside the “quiet hours” and definitely surpassed the “6 people per site” rule.

    Otherwise this campground is in a great location to see the area as it’s only approximately one-quarter mile north of Fallen Leaf Lake. The trail from the campground was only 3 sites over from us. The Taylor Creek Visitor Center is directly across Highway 89 and is a great location to talk to the Rangers about other potential hikes in the area. They also have interpretive programs, guided walks on the Rainbow Trail and to the Stream Profile Chamber (which was closed because someone decided to break it. Although it should be repaired now… end of September 2018). Also, nearby Baldwin Beaches or Pope Beach, which cost $10, or you can go to the Tallac Historic Site with tours and events at its historic buildings and grounds and the free (dog friendly) Kiva beach which is exactly the same as the other pay access beaches….

    There’s also a really nice paved bike trail that runs 3 miles along Highway 89 and can be used to access all of the above. You have access to excellent day hiking and backpacking in Desolation Wilderness via the Glen Alpine or Mt. Tallac trailheads which are also nearby.


Guide to Glenbrook

Cabin accommodations near Glenbrook, Nevada provide a mix of rustic and modern amenities throughout the Tahoe region. Located at 6,250 feet elevation on the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe, Glenbrook cabin rentals offer shelter options during harsh weather conditions common at higher elevations. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, making cabins a practical alternative to tent camping from November through April.

What to do

Lake access from cabin sites: At Fallen Leaf Campground, cabin guests can enjoy Fallen Leaf Lake, which offers calmer waters than Lake Tahoe. According to one visitor, "The lake, oh my, maybe the most beautiful lake in the entire Tahoe region. It isn't as big, but it is flat like glass, deep, and crystal clear. It is cold as an icicle–colder."

Winter activities for cabin stays: Tahoe Valley Campground maintains cabins during snow season. "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!" explains a winter visitor.

Biking from cabin locations: Cabin accommodations at many Tahoe area sites provide access to bike-friendly paths. "We loved the bike paths all through the area. Rode in to south Tahoe and had a great experience," notes a visitor who stayed at Fallen Leaf Campground.

What campers like

Cabin alternatives to hotels: Cabins offer more affordable accommodations for event participants. "We stayed here so we didn't have to stay at an expensive hotel for the Spartan race championships!" notes a visitor at William Kent Campground, which provides cabin options within walking distance of Lake Tahoe's western shore.

Pet-friendly options: Some cabin locations accommodate pets. "We had site 157 about 150 yards from the road... The beach was amazing. We had 2 small dogs so they weren't allowed on the Zephyr Cove beach, but a short walk to the right there is a dog friendly beach," explains a visitor at Tahoe Valley Campground.

Morning water conditions: Guests staying in lakeside cabins note optimal morning recreation times. "Mornings are the best time for lake time. Mornings are glassy on the lake for paddle boarding and kayaking as well, but choppier in the afternoon," advises a Fallen Leaf Campground visitor, noting the daily wind patterns that affect water activities.

What you should know

Winter water limitations: During freezing months, cabin facilities may restrict water access. "We weren't able to connect to water because of freezing temperatures," reports a winter visitor at Tahoe Valley Campground, highlighting the need to prepare for limited utilities.

Reservation requirements: Cabin bookings require advance planning, especially during peak seasons. "It is hard to get a site. Be ready. Set alerts," advises a visitor at Fallen Leaf Campground, where cabins provide lake access.

Shower costs and limitations: Most cabin facilities charge for shower access. "The showers were nice but pricey. Four U.S. Quarters for 3 minutes. You can get done what you want but no more," explains a camper at Nevada Beach Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Noise considerations: Family-friendly cabins often mean more activity and noise. "This is going to be full of kids and dogs and campers who are not necessarily out there to experience nature but to see family and friends," notes a visitor at Nevada Beach Campground, suggesting families request outer loop sites for more privacy.

Bear safety requirements: Cabin areas require strict food storage practices. At Meeks Bay Resort & Marina, a visitor notes: "You really need to pay attention to your food. Bears are not just possible here, they are likely."

Activities for children: Cabins with nearby recreation options help keep families entertained. "The campground has a nice 'Legacy' bike path that goes all the way to town and Donner lake," notes a visitor at Truckee River RV Park, where cabin facilities include "a playground for kids, ping pong table, foosball table."

Tips from RVers

Site width limitations: Cabins and RV sites at Tahoe Valley Campground accommodate larger vehicles but with space constraints. "Full hook up, tooo expensive," notes one RVer, indicating the premium pricing for developed sites with utilities.

Limited cell service: Cabin guests should prepare for connectivity challenges. "Cell service is unlikely," reports a visitor at Fallen Leaf Campground, which makes it suitable for those seeking to disconnect but problematic for those requiring communication access.

Winter RV options: Year-round cabin and RV sites offer winter accommodation alternatives. "It was a little overpriced for the low season, but I guess that's Tahoe," explains an RV camper who stayed at Tahoe Valley Campground during snowy conditions, noting the value of hookups during cold weather.
