Lake Tahoe is located along the border of California and Nevada and just over an hour from our campground. It is admired for its clarity, great depth and beautiful alpine surroundings. About two-thirds of the basin is in California while the other third is in Nevada. The lake was formed by geologic block faulting up to 3 million years ago. There are numerous sights to see from South Shore, around the west side of the lake up to Tahoe City and Incline Village then back south around the east shore.
After spending a day at the lake, relax and make your way through the South Lake Tahoe Beer Trail. With 9 breweries on the trail that specialize in craft beer, everyone is sure to find something to quench their thirst.

The West Walker River is nearly 100 miles long and becomes more and more popular for fishing every year! The river is stocked during the summer months (and into fall) with rainbow and brown trout and, occasionally, we see native Lahontan cutthroat and mountain whitefish being caught.
The river is within walking distance of the campground and is a favorite spot for campers!

Just over an hour's drive from our campground, Bodie is a town preserved and frozen in time; It still has the appearance of the gold rush town it once was in 1861.
