Campground Reviews

Aug 10, 2023
I have mixed feelings about this KOA. It is in the process of coming back to life after years of being closed. Pros: beautiful mature trees along a creek, availability, vacancy, playground. Cons: price, Hwy 50 noise, small clearances between mature Pines for RV’s, roads narrow, pool closed for repair, no pet area. Recommend they focus on tent camping & upgrading common areas for guests.

The most expensive KOA experience with so little service ! My sit was so small I had barely 10cm on each side to park my 25 ft RV. No swimming pool and no discount for it. Super poor WiFi connection. Showers were old. The only positive thing was the staff, friendly.

Good location to Tahoe, but expensive for the experience. The sites are just a few feet from each other so there was zero privacy. The campground is right next to the freeway so there's constant car noise. The bathrooms flushed, but didn't have working soap / paper towels / toilet paper / door locks. We also had to kick off a group on our site, which was frustrating.

Very narrow camp site. My stairs were not on flat ground. Instead, my stairs were in the rocks. But in spite of the poor restrooms and narrow site, your staff were delightful.

The location and access to biking paths was really nice. The price was extremely high, considering that the bathrooms were not clean while we were there. Two out of the three stalls, ran out of toilet paper, no soap at the sink, no paper towels. The shower that I used had the fan cover off with gunk pouring out of the opening in the ceiling. I would except back to better for $150 a night.

We were setup in a make shift site next to the restrooms. The restrooms were not clean and private. It was the worst KOA we ever stayed at.

We are thrilled that the Lake Tahoe KOA is back in business! Although some amenities are a work in progress (pool, urinal, etc.) the new staff is awesome and we had an amazing week of camping with family.

So glad to see this open and under new ownership. Can’t wait to see what the new owners have in store for this beautiful setting for a KOA. Staff very friendly and helpful.

What a beautiful location and conveniently located. Calm and peaceful grounds, very clean! Only downside was the pool is under repair. The staff really go above and beyond and were fantastic in spotting my husband while backing the trailer into a tricky but fabulous spot that backed up to the stream! Thank you for a great stay and we are looking forward to returning soon!

You have a lot of nerve charging what you charge for this property. Very disappointed

We loved our campsight . Was great having an escort help get situated. Also Emmery was awesome to bring us gas , we arrived very low on fuel had never been to Tahoe didn't know where next gas staion was or if we'd make it. Thank you for your help!

Very difficult to maneuver our 36ft motorhome, don't arrive at night. Signage was terrible and hard to find and open box for space assignment

We stayed at the Full hook up space for RV. It was everything we needed and staff was friendly .

We stayed in the deluxe cabin. Good things: A/C works great, overall the campsite is clean & behind the campsite is a cool stream. Bad things: No pool, can’t have campfires, bed was broken, cabin was not clean and had dirty coffee pot & dishes, cabin was not stocked with essentials and whenever we went to the office/store they were closed even during hours they say they are open. No one called u

Staff is super friendly and hard working. They are working really hard to get the Kamp back up and running after being closed for 4 years. A tad pricey for a KOA but hopefully in the future the price will reflect the remodel.

Beautiful site and helpful employees

For being newly reopen after five years, the campground is in fairly good shape. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. Beware of bears. One visited our campsite around 5:00 AM He returned around 5:30.. Be extremely careful if in a tent. The restroom near the tent sites needs work. $150.00 a night seemed high for a tent site; will do something g different next time

Not Big Rig friendly. 44 ft with toad and was placed in a pull thru with a tree in the turn. Also had to pass under phone lines that dragged the top of our RV. The people are very nice and really tried to help us. Just not my favorite KOA.
Jul 27, 2023
Staff was wonderful. Wish the pool had been open. Laundry area could use an overhaul.
Jul 26, 2023
The park is beautiful. We went there a couple weeks before we stayed, to make sure we could get into our site. They showed us our site. When we checked in they had us in a different site. They said we didn't secure our site. The new site was in the back, there was more privacy but closer to the road. This park is expensive but I guess not for Lake Tahoe.
Jul 26, 2023
There was more than one letdown or unprofessional moment. The office was not always open during posted hrs, a maintenance guy tried to check us in once office had opened late, but was unable to. Bathrooms; broken urinal, & dirty. No bear signs. Obvious pot smoking above the office, & campsite of maintenance person. The cost was not appropriate for lack of amenities, unkempt & unprofessionalism.

Our pull through site included a 90 degree turn to get out so we had to reverse out. Our camp side area was a bout 3 foot max by about 7 feet long of dirt. Our neighbors sewer was directly in the middle of this so we stepped out of our camper into a sewer connection. Pool and several other facilities were closed/out of order but price charged was by far the most I have ever paid. Very tight spaces
Jul 25, 2023
Hosts were very helpful and courteous. Shoutout to Emery who escorted us to our site. Thx
Jul 24, 2023
The stay was good. I’d suggest that the website be upgraded as this site still works to get the pool reopened, and fires are not allowed.
Jul 24, 2023
This is a small KOA with very small spots and very windy and narrow roads. Very difficult to get into the spots or even get to them. It's very pretty and close to the river. The staff is very friend and accommodating. However, due to the spots, we cannot recommend. Should there be a fire, there would be no way everyone could get out quickly. Also, move the KOA sign to the road, hard to find.
Jul 24, 2023
The staff was the biggest positive for the Lake Tahoe KOA. The pool was not working. The store was basically just a gift shop. No fires or charcoal allowed. Our spot was nearly impossible to get into, thank god Emory helped guide us but it still took 15 minutes to get in. It is a good looking but tight campground.

This is an excellent camping grounds. The area is beautiful. The staff is outstanding and really added to the enjoyment of my family’s experience. They are so polite, courteous, helpful, and understanding of our needs. Just a very great place to be staying all around. I highly recommend this KOA site to everyone. Thanks.

The sites were very close together, although place was very quiet. Watched staff try to help larger RV’s into same site with difficulty that they were not successfully each time. One ended up with damage to roof and warnings as they hit a tree trying to maneuver in to site. Our site was large pull through and we had an overhead truck camper. Very dusty, crowded, staff was nice.
Jul 24, 2023
I was expecting to be disappointed after reading some poor reviews. For us it was grand, power, water, and the dump station had a few different hoses. The place is in need of some upgrades but the only downside for us was the price. The lady checking us in couldn't have been nicer, and like all KOA campsites, the wifi near the office was good.
Jul 24, 2023
We enjoyed our stay and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. We did a late checkout and the staff was very nice to let us stay without saying a word. Special thanks to Laila, she even let us borrow her propane stove. We definitely want to stay here again.
Jul 23, 2023
Emery and Sebastian were very accommodating and take great care of this facility. The spaces are tucked into beautiful pines with a cool stream running thru. Bathrooms are kept up and clean. We had a great week stay.

Malheureusement la piscine n’était pas en fonction. Sanitaires propres, emplacement ok. Personnel très sympathique malgré une arrivée tardive. La signalisation sur la route doit être installée car difficile à trouver de nuit. Très bien

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at the South Lake Tahoe KOA. It is obvious that they are working to rebuild the campground from having been closed for 4 years, and there’s still a bit of work to do. Apparently within 48 hours prior to our arrival they installed new electrical wiring and were still finalizing that while we were there, but we never had any issues with electricity. We’ll be back!

Management is wonderful! Park unfortunately is poorly designed and highway noise is bothersome. Restrooms are excellent. Store is good. I wish the people running it good luck and prosperity.

The sites are not level and the terrain makes it difficult to level. Several trailers had a very difficult time navigating through the campground. The staff does not have experience with rv/ trailer camping and need to put a size limit in the park. The staff was unprofessional and dressed unprofessional. The dryers barely worked. Beautiful location but will likely not return there.
Jul 18, 2023
Small camp space. Site does not have enough level surface for rent.

The facilities were getting renovated but everything was functional except the pool. Navigating and backing were tight but the staff provided ground guides who were excellent! The power went out for a day which was not great. The host, Emory worked his butt off to fix it and they gave us a little credit for the inconvenience. When things go wrong, it's noticed when a place steps up. Thanks!

The power blew in the camp site next to us and half the park who didn't have generators had to leave. It was a hot weekend so air conditioning was a must. Because the wiring problem, we were unable to sit outside all weekend as a maintenance crew had ladders and wiring all over our outside camp area. It spoiled our time there. We would of liked to be offered a free night or two as compensation
Jul 17, 2023
Power went out for 24hrs. They did not offer a discount. It is a great location.
Jul 16, 2023
I think this park & the hosts have great potential, however I think that refurbishing this site back to KOA standards is a lot after sitting for 5 years. There was an electrical fire in the system feeding the RV pedestals. The hosts did not have keys to the electrical box. Fortunately, circuit breakers tripped and the power shut off. The electrical system needs to be checked out for safety.

Very nice campground. Full hookups and spacious spots with lots of trees. We overlooked the creek. I would definitely recommend it to friends. Lake Tahoe is the biggest & prettiest lake. The staff was very happy & welcoming.
Jul 16, 2023
Reservations should accomodate vans. The tent spot I was assigned was not level. There was a $5/ dog fee?! What’s that about, there is not even a dog park. The dog poop container was overflowing and right next to my camping site. For the highest KOA rate I’ve ever paid, There was not that much value. BTW, what is with the red hard to use water faucets?! Why not use a regular faucet.
Jul 15, 2023
Wonderful staff. Facility undergoing upgrades. We would stay there again.
Jul 14, 2023
No power at first site. Fortunately, they put us in a much nicer site that had power. I don't know why we didn't get that one the first time. (BTW, we've had the same issue at other campgrounds.) The women at the front desk were awesome (Layla and another woman). Wifi was bad. Don't advertise you have wifi if you don't. Very disappointing but Layla let me work at the office. Way Overpriced.

Very helpful staff

KOA was awesome and accommodated our literal last minute reservation! Life savers! All staff was extremely polite, respectful and helpful!! Thanks for a wonderful trip

Fantastic Campground. There is a wild and scenic river that flows through the campground. Might even see a Bear or two. Very friendly staff. Excellent customer service. Conveniently located off a main road. A must stay!

Amazing experience driving through HWY 50 and meeting the Blizzard ( Mother nature). I enjoyed tremendously the masterpiece she was composing. Caltrans did a fabulous job clearing the road, and the collaboration between people was amazing.

Absolutely great time tent camping with the kids and dogs in the snow. The service was a 10/10. Would recommend.
