    Overview

    William Kent Campground is conveniently located on Lake Tahoe's west shore, a few miles south of Tahoe City. It straddles the highway and features not only a large area in which to camp, but also a day-use area that is popular among visitors.

    Recreation

    Just minutes away from the campground, 22-mile-long Lake Tahoe provides sunbathing, swimming, boating and water skiing. Anglers can look forward to healthy fish populations of kokanee salmon and mackinaw, rainbow and brown trout. The campground is also ideal for people planning a full day of bike riding around Lake Tahoe. Bike trails that traverse the western shores of Lake Tahoe begin near the campground.

    Natural Features

    William Kent Campground is situated in a residential area, alongside a busy highway. The campground has more than 80 sites, each surrounded by tall pine, cedar and fir trees. Many of the sites are secluded with evergreen shrubs and the terrain, with its shallow gullies and low ridges, helps to keep each site separate from neighboring sites.

    Nearby Attractions

    A day-use area is located across the street from the campground for lake access and other water activities. Tahoe City is less than 5 miles away.

      Overview

      Nevada Beach Campground sits in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada. Minutes from the bright blue water of Tahoe's eastern shores, campsites are nestled in a sparse forest of pine trees and evergreen shrubs. The lake and its sandy beaches provides ample recreation opportunities and restaurants and casinos are just moments away.

      Recreation

      Just minutes away from the campground, 22-mile-long Lake Tahoe provides sunbathing, swimming, boating and water skiing. Anglers can look forward to healthy fish populations of kokanee salmon and mackinaw, rainbow and brown trout. Nearby, the 2.6-mile Lam Wa Tah Trail traverses the perimeter of the lake, providing scenic views and opportunities for exploration.

      Natural Features

      The campground is located on the California-Nevada state line, adjacent to the popular and beautiful Lake Tahoe, at an elevation of 6,100 feet. Tall pines have left a bed of dry needles on the ground and the lake is visible from most sites within the campground. The nearby Nevada Beach is less than a mile long and is wider than any other beach on the lake. Its subdued atmosphere is a welcomed characteristic, as visitors come to enjoy the peace and quite of the mountain landscape.

        8 Saves

        Benson Hut is located just below the north face of Anderson Peak, 5.5 miles beyond the PCT trailhead on Donner Pass Road. Expect approximately 1,800′ of elevation gain. Prior experience in the backcountry is required for this trip as the route is long and treacherous, especially in bad weather. Expect bare ground and/or ice where wind has stripped snow from the ridge; beware of cornices on the east side. The hut is very difficult to reach but once in the vicinity, relatively easy to spot. Overnight parking may be arranged with Clair Tappaan Lodge or Sugar Bowl Ski Resort. Topo map: Norden 7-1/2′ quad. The hut is nestled under the north face of Anderson Peak at 8,350′ and has extraordinary views to the east, north, and west. Use extra caution as surrounding slopes are steep, avalanches are frequent, and weather (when it worsens) can be very dangerous.

        Peter Grubb Hut is located below Castle Peak in Round Valley, 3 miles north of the Castle Peak trailhead near I-80. Expect approximately 800′ of elevation gain. The route is poorly marked by orange triangles mounted obscurely in trees at 100-200 yard intervals. Overnight parking is available at the California Sno-Park at the Boreal-Castle Peak exit on I-80. Park on the frontage road east of the Boreal Inn and walk back under the freeway to the trailhead. Topo map: Norden 7-1/2′ quad. There are day trip possibilities to Paradise Valley, Basin Peak, Castle Peak, and Sand Ridge Lake. Round Valley is a good instructional and practice area for skiers. The hut is just off the Pacific Crest Trail and is a popular destination for day trippers; daytime privacy and security are minimal.

        Peaceful lake

        Large sites very peaceful. Most sites close to the lake. We visited the last week of August. Expect to see bears. Hosts were clear about the need to keep campsites clear of food. Since you could not dump dish water on ground because of the bears it was more effort to wash up after meals. It would be nice if there was a dish washing station . We have seen this at other campsites we have been to. The have AT&A cell service had good service

        Such friendly people!

        This location is so convenient and easy! Pull through sites that can fit any Rv. Everyone at the front desk was kind and very responsive. The operations manager was so kind as to pick up and deliver our empty propane tanks upon our arrival! Views of the Walker over from the walking trail were perfect. Kids welcome, two nice playgrounds and a pickleball court that they provided rackets for. Each site also has a small grass area. Would definitely come back!!

        Walk to the lake, spacious sites, friendly hosts

        Spent a great couple of night here in June. Some of the sites back onto cabins and we were worried they would be noisy at night, but we didn't hear a thing. 

        The hosts and rangers were really friendly and helpful. The sites were large considering the prime Tahoe location - we had plenty of space for our 9x8ft tent. 

        You can walk to a small beach from here, or go to Sunnyside bar + restaurant for lakeside food and drinks. Also walkable to Tahoe city, but I think cycling would be nicer. 

        Recommended!

        Quiet and Beautiful

        This was a quick getaway for us on a rainy weekend in September. It was delightfully quiet and in a beautiful area. The camp host, Judy, was welcoming and provided us great information about the area.
        We even got in a nice bike ride into Tahoe City. The hosts take great care of the campsite, I truly hope we get to return soon.

        Awesome & Close Proximity to Lake

        Got lucky and dodged smoke! Stayed at North Site 33 - if you have a trailer, use caution on the appx 100 foot back-in with about 10 feet between trees. Once in though… absolutely amazing. Sites were large & easy walk to lake. Dogs (and their humans) loved it. Sites are  large, you don’t feel like you’re on top of anyone. North campground has back in sites, west campground has pull through sites. North campground has easier/better lake access. Road in can be bumpy in places, but worth the drive.

        Beautiful, but lacks services/amenities

        The campground is beautiful, well maintained with great access to Lake Tahoe's sandy beaches. If you have a dog, this is the place to take it as there are many here playing on the beach. The negative: no amenities. There are no shower facilities, no dump station, no trail maps. Honestly, I could have boondocked for free and had the same access to everything. There are many trails into the park that allow beach access. Not worth the camping fees.

        Very nice staff. Campground always full. Long spaces but close back to back spaces. No store but Truckee is not far away. Very quiet and friendly campers. Clean and dog friendly. Lots of shade from tall pines. Easy access for big rigs and toad parking.

        Hidden jem

        I guess it’s a 5 minute uphill walk from the PCT and is hidden (plus not on PCT maps) so it’s relatively unused for non-locals. Always find something fun here left behind. 8 bunks. Some counter space. Wood. And a nice privy

        Overpriced

        Stayed here in Oct 2020. Paid $55/night. They have a stated rig age limit but let us camp with our 1967 camper. Mix of permanent and transient RVs. Standard hookups but no picnic tables or fire rings.

        We were placed right next to one of the bathrooms on a busy corner. People and staff kept driving/walking through our site. Leaf blowers/mowers woke us up super early.

        Bathrooms were clean but the laundromat was out of order. The park is in town but not really near anything you’d want to walk to except the Truckee river.

        Overall, could be nice but our experience was not good. Costs way too much for what you get.

        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.
