Welcome to the Lake Tahoe KOA!

Just four miles from the stunning south shore of Lake Tahoe, nestled among towering pines and alongside Echo Creek, our campground provides the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway with a wealth of activities at your doorstep.

Enjoy the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe by swimming, paddle boarding, or simply cruising on the lake. Venture nine miles to the Nevada side for exciting casino action, or explore a range of outdoor adventures including hot-air ballooning, horseback riding, hiking, biking, and golfing. For thrill-seekers, there's kayaking, Jet Skiing, and parasailing, while fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines in the Truckee River or other nearby lakes.

Our shaded RV and tent sites offer full hookups, while our deluxe accommodations include a charming Camping Lodge, an exquisite Air-stream and our distinctive Chalet built in the 1940's.

We look forward to welcoming you this summer for an unforgettable experience.  Remember, we're open all year round! While a few RV sites will be available in the winter, all of our accommodations will be ready to make your stay cozy and enjoyable throughout the colder months.
