    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.

    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

    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.

    Pipi Campground

    Busy in summer - Great for kids

    Overall a great place to camp. Good access to the river from many of the sites and in general the river is kid-friendly (during summer). Spots vary in size wildly so larger RV's might not be a good idea. On average I'd say 30' is a max. Pit toilets are serviceable but not the best. The OHV crowd can kind of make a mess of this campground in summer (Loud music after quiet hours, riding ATV's into and out of campground despite rules against it... etc) If I had to pick a best time of year I'd say fall or spring (Open-June 1st)

    Best place for groceries near by is Pioneer, CA and if you're looking for someone to cook you breakfast try Cook's Station. Cell reception is ok on AT&T

    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.

    William Kent Campground

    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.

    Fallen Leaf Campground - South Lake Tahoe

    Great Spot

    our site was further from the lake but it's not a bad walk. There are fire pits and charcoal grills in each site. Sites are a good size and have trees for hammocks.


Guide to Glenbrook

Glamping near Glenbrook, Nevada ranges from lakeside yurts to RV resorts with varying levels of amenity access. The eastern shore sits at approximately 6,300 feet elevation, creating cool summer nights even when daytime temperatures reach the 80s. Most luxury camping options operate seasonally from May through October, though some sites near Carson City maintain year-round availability.

What to do

Hiking trails near water: The Little Truckee River runs adjacent to several campsites at Boyington Mill, providing a serene backdrop for day hikes. "Wake up with the Little Truckee River a stones throw from your window. Bear boxes because we are in bear country. Ample space, lots to explore in the area," reports camper Dustin D.

Stargazing opportunities: Light pollution is minimal at many campgrounds, creating ideal conditions for night sky viewing. "It is the one in the corner closest to the river, so you have some privacy and easy river access," explains Quinn Z. about Boyington Mill's site #8, which offers both water sounds and open sky views for stargazing.

Winter camping options: While most luxury glamping sites close for winter, some Tahoe Valley locations remain open year-round. "We ended up camping in a truck camper at Tahoe Valley Campground after being caught in a snow storm. For a last minute find, it turned out to be an awesome choice... nothing beats making a fire in the snow and waking up to a couple of feet of white fluffiness!" shares Basia M.

What campers like

Secluded glamping spots: Many visitors prefer the quieter luxury camping options away from main tourist areas. "We stayed here for two nights last year during a Northern California Camping trip. This site is on the western side of Lake Tahoe about 20 minutes from South Lake Tahoe. It's a beautiful lake side campground with a very nice sandy beach for those willing to brave the cool waters," notes Steve & Ashley G. about Meeks Bay.

Private beach access: Several glamping locations offer exclusive or semi-private beach frontage. "Gorgeous National Forest campground with big sites. No hookups, but water and bathrooms nearby. Right on Lake Tahoe. Super nice hosts," comments Linda M. about Nevada Beach Campground.

Proximity to hiking trails: Luxury camping sites often connect to trail networks. "Hiking trails right out of camp. Rushing river to the west. You can walk or ride a bike across the street to Lake Tahoe, but you are separated from the chaos of the lake, and a bit more insulated from the storms," explains Ryan W. about the trails near Fallen Leaf Campground.

What you should know

Bear safety requirements: All glamping sites enforce strict food storage rules. "You really need to pay attention to your food. Bears are not just possible here, they are likely," cautions Ryan W. about Fallen Leaf Campground. Bear boxes are provided at most sites.

Reservation timing: Peak season bookings fill months in advance, especially for luxury accommodations. "It is hard to get a site. Be ready. Set alerts," advises Ryan W. about securing spots at Fallen Leaf.

Highway noise concerns: Some glamping sites sit close to major roads. "It's 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 and likely drink a caseload of Bud Light a day. There may also be bears," reports Ryan W. about the campground environment at Big Meadows.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Some glamping locations offer structured activities for children. "One of the largest and nicest campground for RVers and Tent campers combined. Helpful staff, and park rangers on site. Activities planned each day. Close walk to Lake Tahoe and restaurants," shares Michael B. about his experience at Tahoe Valley Campground.

Water accessibility: Sites with shallow water entry points work best for families with young children. "The beach is about a 5 minute walk from any spot. Only complaints are the beach is not dog friendly so if you have your dog you can't go onto the beach but, you can drive close to a dog beach," notes Toni K. about Meeks Bay.

Safety considerations: Campgrounds with 24-hour hosts provide extra security for families. "The camp hosts are sweet offer wood, clean bathrooms, and fresh water," mentions Toni K. about the attentive staff at Meeks Bay.

Tips from RVers

Space constraints: Many glamping sites have limited parking or pad sizes. "I paid 66$ for a walk in camp ground thinking parking was only a few yards from the camping site, but it's actually a couple hundred yards. This would work if you have a ground tent etc to take to the camping site. In my situation I have a truck with a rooftop tent and I thought it be parking only a few yards from my site," cautions Jr A. about his experience at Zephyr Cove Resort.

Hookup availability: Luxury RV camping options vary widely in utility access. "Easy to access, even for larger rigs. We stayed in 39 foot 5th wheel. Plenty of pull thru spots, full hookups, regularly spaced bathroom/showers. Nice store for basic needs, nice laundry room," reports Steve R. about Tahoe Valley Campground.

Winter RV considerations: Cold weather camping requires special preparation. "We ended up camping in a truck camper at Tahoe Valley Campground after being caught in a snow storm... It was a little overpriced for the low season, but I guess that's Tahoe. I imagine it gets very busy in the summer, but we had a wonderfully quiet time there," shares Basia M.
