Camping at Lake Tahoe is the best way to enjoy your visit to The Mountain Sea. This page presents camping locations and contact information for Lake Tahoe visitors.

Lake Tahoe Campers: Marie of The US Forest Service sent us a helpful and complimentary note with lots of campground contact info. for you...

I am writing to you from the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit Forest Service office. I learned about your web-site from a camper seeking information about camp sites in the Lake Tahoe Basin. I wanted to compliment you on your web-site. It is amazing! I was learning all kinds of things about Tahoe that I felt I should already know!!! (Good thing we never stop learning!)

I did want to mention a couple things that will help your readers. You have several camp sites listed with our phone number.
