Nevada Beach Campground

Loved the campground. The $19 nightly rate was after our America the Beautiful discount. Dry camping (no hookups at any of the sites). But, we knew that it would be a dry campground. We stayed during September during a rainy week. Still enjoyed our time here. The shores of Lake Tahoe was a just a short walk from our campsite (#39). We had plenty of room for our 29' travel trailer and our pickup. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 6am. Which left plenty of time to run our generator to charge our house batteries. We were able to have a camp fire (even in the rain) during our stay. Site #39 was just across the road from a clean and well maintained restroom. No showers though. The beach is nice and sandy. Looks like the beach would be crowded during the summer.
Pros:
Right along the SE side of Lake Tahoe
Clean and well maintained restrooms
Beach is a short distance from any of the campsites
My campsite had plenty of room for my travel trailer and pickup
Nestled in the pines
Sites are paved and level. Also, sites are not close to each other
A shopping center was less than a mile away (Safeway, 4 restaurants, gym, etc.)
Cons:
A dry campground (which we knew before making reservations)

We love going to Nevada Beach for staycations. We reserved two nights at site 14 and moved to site 28 for the last night due to availability (it's a popular camping spot). Check-in was friendly, site 14 had a beautiful view of the lake in the distance, and lots of space and site 28 gave us a more of a private feel. The top things I love about this campground has a portion of the beach that is great for enjoying the lake with our dogs, just about every site is spacious, and if you want to step out of the beauty to grocery shop or go out to eat, options are about 5 minutes away.

I loved the access to the beautiful beach and trails which be biked. It was pretty windy on the beach but more sheltered in the trees in the campground. The dense trees in our area of the camp made it a little shadier than I prefer.

Sites are a generous size and a nice distance apart. Same rate as we were charged at California state parks in the area but no showers which is a shame.

This review is from the last week of June which we spent camping around Lake Tahoe. Due to some change of plans, we ended up in three different campgrounds - also see reviews for Sugar Pine SP and Emerald Bay SP.

We loved our stay here. It hit all our buttons;- beautifully scenic, large spacious sites, and close to things to do. This is on Forest Service land that is in Nevada but run by California Land Management. A little confusing, but what is probably most important is that, unlike most USFS campground, it is reservable and not easy to get into. So if you want to be here at the weekend, and maybe even during the week, you should reserve.

I think the best spots are 20,22,24 and 26. They all face the water. 24 and 26 have the benefit of being on a little secluded loop away from the main campground.

A few hundred yards away is a beautiful beach with stunning views over the lake. There are some scenic trails right from the campground. From here you can also walk to a small shopping center with a Safeway, a coffee shop and some restaurants.

Facilities are a little lacking; there is water, but no dump station, and no showers only toilets. There is trash and recycling. No hook up sites here. Most sites are shaded so if you want sun for solar power be sure to look for the few sites that aren't densely wooded (24 and 26 for sure).

A 10 minute drive and you can be in Stateline and South Lake Tahoe with everything that area have to offer.
