About this campground
The north shore of Lake Tahoe is half and half. Half lies in California and the other half in Nevada. Access is via Highway 28, which stretches from Tahoe City, California to Incline Village, Nevada. The landscape also is half and half, half general undeveloped National Forest land and half developed urban areas. Recreational opportunities include water activities, camping, hiking, nearby downhill skiing/snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Attractions include Carnelian and Crystal Bays, Kings Beach State Park, North Tahoe Regional Park, and just a stone's throw away, Mt. Rose Wilderness.
