The campground ground is not ready to be open. There is so much work that needs to be done before camping people should be allowed. Too many items need to be fixed. The employee who lead us to our site had to help us get in our spot. We could never have done it with out him. A pull through should be just that. This was not the case. There wasn't enough room to do it without a guide. ETC

Great potential, but not there yet. Nice staff.
Aug 21, 2023
It was very noisy being next to highway 50. The site spots were small and too close together. Finally, it was too expensive for the campground. If it was like 70.00 a night but it ended up being more like 158.00 a night which was ridiculous.
Aug 21, 2023
Everyone there was very friendly & helpful, which was very much appreciated since I an a new trailer owner & still learning. The lication was right next to the highway and you could definitely hear the traffic - but the staff's presence & consistent offers to help overcame the negatives do to traffic noise.

Pool was unusable. Facilities were dirty and it was WAY OVERPRICED!
Aug 19, 2023
The facility was in complete disrepair. Plus they charged an astronomical amount per night over $150 per. Pool looked like it's been broken for decades. Sites are so close don't have room for even a picnic table. Staff was nice, probably because they were all laughing themselves to the bank.

Loved it- nice managers, beautiful creek right behind some sites. Great hiking nearby. A negative is the 89 highway noise but we didn’t hear it sitting outside when we were by the creek. Some slots are tight due to trees. Ours was level but the site next to us was not. Sewer connection was too high for our trailer but that was reported and it’s something they can address.

Campground is a work in progress. It's under new ownership & management and they are getting it back to where it should be. It is in a beautiful location with trees but lots of road noise. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Very EXPENSIVE $149.88/night. Then when we checked in we were charged an additional $12 per day for a Facility Protection Fee and $5 per day for our dog! No KampK9.

The staff is super and working very hard to bring this campground back to prime. They still have work to do, but I'll bet that next year the facilities will be much better. The internet connection is weak, but the woodsy setting was just what we needed.
Aug 15, 2023
Overpriced to begin with. Not the worse koa I've stayed in but close. Booked a pull thru, put in my rig, 39 foot and towing. They put me in a spot that was so tight it took me 20 minutes to jockey it around to get in position and manager just watched from the office. In plain view was a large pull thru that sat vacate my complete stay. Manager offered no help. Bye bye koa, no more, I'm done
Aug 15, 2023
nice campground near the river but could use an upgrade in the bathrooms/showers and the pool could be cleaned up and opened...
Aug 15, 2023
Very helpful, courteous and clean.
Aug 14, 2023
Great location and pleasant staff. Sebastian was professional and informative!
Aug 14, 2023
Easy to miss entrance, pool was closed, sites were tight and rocky, access road super narrow, trees near roadway not limbed up leaving stripes on rv, dump station in a bad place, playground for kids is pretty much useless, not worth the $111 per night fee, won’t stay here again. I expected a KOA Lake Tahoe to be better.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, crowded spots and difficulties with electric hookup.
Aug 10, 2023
We waited over 30 minutes to check in because nobody was at the office. Bathrooms completely unstocked, no TP, papertowels or soap. Bathrooms / showers were dirty. Only saw them cleaned once in the 5 days we stayed. Pool was closed. Staff was smoking tobacco & marijuana right next to our spot. Overall it was a total letdown. Understand they are just reopening, but not an excuse for all the issues.

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.
Aug 07, 2023
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.
Aug 07, 2023
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.
Aug 07, 2023
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.
Aug 06, 2023
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.
Aug 06, 2023
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.
Aug 05, 2023
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
Aug 02, 2023
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!
Aug 02, 2023
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
Aug 02, 2023
We stayed at the Full hook up space for RV. It was everything we needed and staff was friendly .

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.
Jul 28, 2023
Beautiful site and helpful employees
Jul 27, 2023
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.
Jul 25, 2023
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
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 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 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.
Jul 23, 2023
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
Jul 22, 2023
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!
Jul 21, 2023
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.
Jul 18, 2023
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.

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!
Jul 17, 2023
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

This place is wonderful, it's a wooded wonderland! This resort is along the river with many RV sites and lots of TENT sites. The workers here go out of their way to make sure you're happy…Emery is the best! The campground is very clean and going through some updating since it just opened last season after being closed for four years. It's an ideal location, tranquil among the trees with good restaurants down the street and a market. We liked the location since it's out of the busy zone but only 10 minutes to the lake! It's not big rig friendly. The lower loop can accommodate a few larger rigs but I would advise nothing over 40 feet for RV's.

This was an amazing stay the place has come a long way and is improving every day. The shining stars are the two lovely ladies Vivian and Yerika they made sure me and my group were taken care of and are huge supporters of veterans. Will definitely be looking forward to another stay with them as our hosts.

I was here two nights over Memorial Day weekend, so it was a full house. Regardless, the staff was so friendly & helpful and the campground/facilities were always tidy. As a home base, the location is super convenient as you bypass the traffic that goes through the main street of South Lake Tahoe. It's also right next to a river, which we were lucky enough to get a view of and the ambient noise made it so easy to fall asleep. I didn't use any of the amenities other than the bathrooms as we spent most of the day exploring. The showers/bathroom stalls on the far side of the campground are a bit small, but you always have warm water. It's not too far to walk to the showers at the main office which were a more comfortable size. I would definitely stay here again.
