South Lake Tahoe, California Campground

Welcome to the Lake Tahoe KOA!

Four miles from the south shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe, surrounded by tall pines with Echo Creek running through, this campground offers a relaxing stay with dozens of activities. Swim, boat or cruise the lake on the M.S. Dixie II paddle wheeler or the Tahoe Queen. Visit the casinos, 9 miles to the Nevada side of the lake. Go hot-air ballooning, horseback riding, hiking, biking and golfing. You also can enjoy kayaking, Jet Skiing or parasailing, and fishing in the Truckee River or other nearby lakes.

Our full hookup and tent sites are shaded by tall pine trees, and the deluxe accommodations include a Camping Lodge, our unique Chalet. We look forward to seeing you this summer.

Overall Camper Rating:

I arrived without a reservation. Liz was very nice and accommodating. She gave me a nice site and Emery escorted me to my spot. He was also very friendly. The showers and restrooms were very clean. Thanks for all you do. 9/21/2023

I was pleasantly surprised by the speedy wifi. We were right next to the store, but we were seeing internet download speeds of 125Mbps. This was nice in the evening when our kiddo wanted to watch a movie on Netflix before bed... 9/18/2023

Perfect spot and great site. Very well maintained, very clean and easy to get in and out of the grounds. 9/18/2023

Lovely campground. Friendly staff. Needs better signage on the highway. 9/18/2023

KOA needs to get 50amp back online. Put a pool cover over pool until you get it repaired or replaced, it looks bad. Place signage close to entrance on Highway. 9/17/2023

We REALLY enjoyed this campground and will return when in the area. First, the staff, helped us whenever there was an opportunity! Friendly every day. The sites have a beautiful setting and there is more privacy to each spot than at other camps we’ve stayed at... 9/17/2023

Staff was welcoming very informative the deluxe cabin was comfortable all was great will be back again thank you mike 9/16/2023

The staff were very friendly, and the facilities were clean. They were still doing a lot of work to get the place set up; I think it had been closed for a while. But there was no impact to us except that the pool wasn't open yet. The playground was better for little kids... 9/14/2023

I had a nice stay; the staff was friendly, location was good, and the campground was a good to walk my dog. I know improvements are underway as it was not open for several years... 9/14/2023

We really enjoyed our three night stay! The people running the KOA were so nice and helpful. Took us to our space and helped us back in. There was always someone driving around cleaning up or that you could ask a question of. We had a creek side space... 9/12/2023

The road is a little tight for bigger rigs but we made it through with a 30' motorhome pulling a car. The road noise wasn't bad at all and I loved the forest feel. 9/12/2023

The setting of this facility is beautiful and has a creek running by and beautiful, mature trees. However, the electrical is on the older side and the roads are tight... 9/5/2023

First time in Tahoe , everything was conveniently nearby The staff was super friendly! The campground was well kept and clean. From laundry room to the tether ball and ice cream it was a great stay! Loved the 361/362/363 campsite... 9/5/2023

This is a new KOA and they are working hard to make it really nice. Our original site was right by the office where they were doing some work. I have a nervous dog and they were able to move us to a quieter area of the park. Great staff and very accommodating... 9/4/2023

Very professional and personable staff! 9/4/2023
