At the time I went they wouldn’t let us have a fire. It was also pretty empty. Bathrooms are very spread out and a trek. Wouldn’t recommend for tent camping!

Nice place if you can get a reservation
Super popular spot. A little tight if you have a larger trailer or motorhome. Plenty of trees for shade.

Good for overnight.
Plenty of room on a large gravel lot. Nothing but a place to park.

Families traveling in skoolies: think very carefully before booking this KOA.
We are traveling with our family and small children in a legally registered and insured school bus conversion. We had a reservation, showed up expecting a normal campground check-in, and instead were told we could not stay because our skoolie “didn’t look like an RV.” I offered to show the employee our registration and insurance proving that it is an RV. He refused to even look at it. Apparently, at this KOA, one employee’s opinion of what your RV should look like matters more than your reservation, registration, or insurance. That is something families need to know before arriving here after a long day on the road with tired children. Being turned away at check-in because your perfectly legitimate RV doesn’t meet someone’s visual standards is not a minor inconvenience when you are traveling with kids and counting on the campsite you already booked. Thankfully, we found a beautiful Forest Service campground on Lake Tahoe and ended up having a much better experience. The only downside was the wasted fuel, wasted time, and unnecessary drive back into Nevada. If you travel in a newer, expensive, picture-perfect motorhome, this place may be exactly what you are looking for. If you are a family traveling in a skoolie, bus conversion, older RV, or anything outside their preferred image, I would not trust a reservation here to mean you actually have a place to stay. For a company that markets itself around camping and family travel, this was one of the least welcoming campground experiences we have had. Families with young children deserve to know that before they book.

Pretty area & nice beach!
Nice campground with a dog-friendly beach! The hosts said bears frequent the area, but we didn't see any. Our campsite was very peaceful and quiet.

Stole our money!
Made reservations to stay at the lakeside hotel.
Was so excited for our first stay at Richardson Campground.
Unfortunately, had to cancel as my Mother had a stroke. Attempted to cancel two weeks before our reservations…… They refused to cancel and to refund our money. Out $450! Not a small amount.
Disappointed. Angry. Disgusted.

EAT OUT
Was not aware lake tahoe was surrounded with all kinds of shops in the area we were staying in, extremely friendly people and so were the bears! Our first night a bear came right for our campsite as we were about to cook and took our eggs out of our cooler then invited its other fuzzy friend over. It was hard to cook our food as they were targeting our campsite so we went out to eat instead. The bears walked about the campsite for 6 hours probably but besides that bathroom was clean and so was the shower i felt really safe with other campsites close to me
