Best Glamping near Incline Village-Crystal Bay, NV

262 Reviews

Fallen Leaf Campground and Tahoe Valley Campground offer premium glamping options near Lake Tahoe with comfortable yurt accommodations. These sites combine the natural beauty of the forest setting with the conveniences of resort-style camping. Fallen Leaf's yurts provide electricity in a serene location walking distance to the crystal-clear Fallen Leaf Lake, which one visitor described as "maybe the most beautiful lake in the entire Tahoe region." Tahoe Valley Campground features glamping cabins and canvas accommodations in a sprawling property with modern amenities including WiFi, though connectivity can be limited. Both locations include bear-proof storage containers as the area has active wildlife, enhancing the authentic outdoor experience while maintaining comfort and safety.

Walking trails connect directly from these glamping sites to scenic lakes and forests, making morning hikes accessible without driving. Fallen Leaf Lake offers paddleboarding on "flat like glass, deep, and crystal clear" water according to one reviewer, though they note it's "cold as an icicle." The campgrounds provide a perfect balance of wilderness immersion and comfort, with several featuring on-site camp stores for essentials like ice, firewood, and s'mores supplies. Glamping guests benefit from proximity to South Lake Tahoe's restaurants and attractions while enjoying relative seclusion. Both William Kent Campground and Nevada Beach Campground offer additional glamping options with picturesque settings and easy lake access. Seasonal availability varies, with most luxury accommodations open from May through October, though Tahoe Valley maintains year-round operations for their premium glamping units.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tahoe Valley Campground

    Nice looking ground, lacking rule enforcement

    Nicely kept campground but no night enforcement for quiet hours.

    Had several rowdy groups keeping us up til 2am. A few air horns, car alarms going off. No camp hosts or ground keepers around.

    For the amount of amenities, I would’ve thought they’d have night employees

    Fallen Leaf Campground - South Lake Tahoe

    Fallen Gem

    We arrived late and were pleasantly surprised to see many open campgrounds. All were equipped with a decent size lot, picnic bench, and fire pit. Perfect to complete our #Questival challenges while enjoying the beauty that surrounds us in Tahoe. I will definitely be back here in the future.

Guide to Incline Village-Crystal Bay

Incline Village-Crystal Bay sits on the north shore of Lake Tahoe at 6,350 feet elevation, where the Nevada side of the lake transitions from sandy beaches to forested mountains. Summer camping temperatures typically range from 40°F at night to 80°F during the day, with occasional summer thunderstorms requiring waterproof gear. Winter camping requires specialized cold-weather equipment as temperatures regularly drop below freezing with significant snowfall.

What to do

Fishing access: The Little Truckee River at Boyington Mill provides direct river access from most campsites. "The river is right there, most sites have direct access" notes James K., who adds "sleeping with the sounds of the river is pretty sweet."

Beach activities: Nevada Beach Campground offers designated areas for both families and pets. "This is a great place to swim, set up a beach net, and get a tan," says Bren M. The campground features a dog-friendly section of beach, so "if you're bringing your pup(s), your beach access will be limited to that area only," advises Carolyn P.

Winter adventures: Though many campgrounds close seasonally, some areas permit snow camping. At Tahoe Valley Campground, Basia M. reports, "We ended up camping in a truck camper 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!"

What campers like

Lake proximity: Meeks Bay campers appreciate the short walk to Lake Tahoe's shore. "Beautiful campsite. Trees were pretty bare so not a lot of privacy from neighbors but a very spacious site. The campground is off of the main road so you could hear cars and motorcycles driving by. However, you have lake 'beach' access and it's a perfect spot to post up for a beach day!" writes Sarah R.

Family-friendly atmosphere: Many campgrounds in the region cater to family gatherings. "We stayed here for one night during the week and only had one other group there. One of those campgrounds where getting the right spot can make a big difference," says Quinn Z. about Boyington Mill.

Off-season tranquility: For glamping close to Incline Village-Crystal Bay, Nevada without crowds, consider timing your visit. "Try it after Labor Day, when many summer-season tourists leave, if you are ready for chilly weather and the occasional early-season snowfall in exchange for a quieter experience," advises Jon S. about Zephyr Cove.

What you should know

Bear activity: Bear encounters are common throughout the Tahoe region. At Fallen Leaf Campground, "We had a bear wander into our camp in the afternoon," reports Colleen C., adding "This is bear country, so be prepared and don't leave food out!" All sites include bear boxes for food storage.

Noise considerations: Road noise affects several campgrounds in the area. At Upper Little Truckee, Mike C. notes, "You're about 30 feet from highway 89. Traffic nonstop," though others mention "it quieted substantially for nighttime sleeping hours."

Reservation requirements: Most Lake Tahoe campgrounds fill quickly during summer months. Kerry V. describes Nevada Beach as "a very quiet where we were with little to no traffic noise," but adds that "This is also a popular campground and you will need to plan ahead or get lucky claiming a walk up site."
