Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
Camping at Lake Tahoe isn’t exactly what most people expect. Those who’ve never been there think of getting to pitch their own tent near the water, but that isn’t the case. You can, however, get something that’s close to that experience. Lake Tahoe campgrounds are found on the South and West parts of the lake. Some of them are run by California State Parks while the others are run by US Forest Service.
