The best camping in Lake Tahoe with showers

·

Lake Tahoe camping with showers brings you over 630 options—each a solid choice for staying fresh after a day on the trails or out fishing. You’ll find sites with toilets, pet-friendly spots, and the freedom to build a campfire. Hike through granite trails, spot mule deer at dawn, or cast a line for trout right from camp. Prices average $85 a night, but you can pitch your tent for as little as $15. Tried-and-true favorites include Camp Nauvoo (721 reviews), Victoria Forest (208 reviews), and L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas (134 reviews). Showers mean you can scrub off the dust, then watch the sun sink behind the pines with clean skin and a clear mind.

At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses, gardens in the process of creation, snakes, bugs, ticks, and wild animals. As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.
