Great location in a private setting! The bunkhouse was clean and stocked with amenities. The outdoor space had a nice layout with a hammock, lawn chairs, and fire pit. Highly recommended!

Kari was so accommodating and friendly, she greeted us right away and gave us a tour of our spot. We felt right at home immediately! There was even a little shack next to our spot that had a game area! My son was very happy! We were very pleased with our stay and the host and will be back!

Kari was absolutely awesome, extremely hospitable, and was always available for anything we needed. She gave great recommendations, and even let us borrow her can opener! :)
The space itself was really great. Lots of room for parking, nice, large flat areas for tents (bring a tarp, though, because it is mostly gravel), chairs and picnic table, a cool little setup underneath some aspens and pines. Pop-up toilet situation was easy to work with. Really nice to have access to potable water and firewood.
The BARn was freakin' epic! It was so fun to spend a day at Lake Davis kayaking and swimming, then coming back and roasting up some dinner on the provided fire pit (so awesome!) and hanging out in the converted mini-barn. It had fun lighting, speakers, a cool bar-style island, couches, etc... Having access to the wilderness and then what felt like our own private little pub back at our campsite? Epic.
My only *heads up* would be that the site itself isn't what I would consider remote. It is super conveniently located, especially with regard to the lake, but it is also part of a larger property, so you do share a driveway with the host's house as well as her tenant's space. It's not bad by any means, but it also isn't a private campsite deep in the woods, so, if you are looking for that type of remote privacy, just keep this in mind.
I went with 4 of my friends for a little bachelor getaway and, ultimately, it rocked. Highly recommend.

Kari’s campground is such a perfect vacation spot!! Located minutes from the lake and nestled in a beautiful grove of trees, it was such a fun and welcoming experience!
Kari is such an amazing person, she made us feel like family! She greeted us when we arrived and showed us around while also giving tips and explaining the local wildlife, which I appreciated so much as a mom of littles. She also checked in every now and then to make sure we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. Such a great host!❤️
The site was super spacious, table was clean and the area is so nice we didn’t need to use our bug spray!
The barn is so relaxing as well, and was fun to have lunch in when we got back from Coot Bay(definitely a place worth checking out). Beautiful warm water, sandy beach looking into beautiful trees and mountains. Bring your fishing gear if you like to fish, someone caught a HUGE rainbow trout next to us!! 🐟
We enjoyed the outdoor games provided, and the sound system was a huge plus with a Bluetooth option or we stuck to the local radio station which was great!!
I noticed how Kari’s property gets plenty of both sun and shade at all times during the day, which is HUGE for us as we had our 2y/o, 5y/o & senior pup as well. There was potable water on sight with a hose that made it easy to fill the kids pool!
I’d describe this place as:
Peaceful
Family friendly
Breathtaking
A place to make core memories
(Can I say perfect?)😍
We can’t wait until next time, tysm!

My family and I enjoyed tent camping at tailwinds ranch. We loved the privacy and relaxation that the site provided. For those in our group that preferred cabin camping, the tiny home was super convenient. It was very clean and fully stocked with the basics as well as water and electricity. The owner is super responsive and helpful. This campsite is perfect for a larger group or multiple families. The place felt cozy and peaceful. 10/10 recommend!

Tailwinds had everything you needed with a super easy contactless check-in. The house was in a good shady spot with ample room for the dogs. The host left the AC on which was a super nice touch. We did turn it off as the temperature was very comfortable for us.

Wonderful, private and peaceful site! The bunkhouse is surround by trees and other greenery. Different birds flying by and chirping in the distance. My dogs also had a lot of fun in the sun.
The bunkhouse was clean and comfortable and the site was prepared for our arrival. There were lights outside and even inside the outhouse. The outhouse was clean as well. It was amazing to have running water and a sink to wash with. There were kitchen supplies, books, games, small fan and heater, and fire starters. Great amenities for a comfortable stay.
For the summer season, there is also a magnetic screen door for both the bunkhouse and outhouse door. Noticed bug repellents around the site and some bug zappers provided in the bunkhouse. Maybe it was early in the season but I think the bugs were really minimal. Had no issues considering mosquitos usually devour me.
I would definitely recommend checking this site out.

The best star host camping near Incline Village guide
Where to go
Lake Tahoe
Incline Village sits on the northeast corner of Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in the country, with 72 miles of shoreline. Head south along the Nevada side of the lake for RV and tent camping at Zephyr Cove and Nevada Beach Campground, or Campground by the Lake in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Head west towards Tahoe City for lakeside camping options, including at Tahoe State Recreation Area and at William Kent Campground. On the opposite side of the lake, find scenic camping options at D.L. Bliss State Park and Emerald Bay State Park.
Truckee and Tahoe National Forest
Northwest of Incline Village is the popular mountain town of Truckee. Camp along the Truckee River at several campgrounds south of town or head to Prosser, Boca, or Stampede reservoirs or Donner Memorial State Park for water recreation and lakeside and forest camping. Or choose from one of dozens of developed forest service campgrounds in the Tahoe National Forest surrounding Truckee.
High Desert and Valley
For high desert camping, head east over the mountains down to Washoe Valley, which offers year-round camping options around Washoe Lake at Washoe Lake Campground and at Davis Creek Campground. Further south, Carson City, the capital of Nevada, offers several RV parks. Or head east on Highway 50 for history and year-round camping at Dayton State Park and Fort Churchill State Park.
When to go
With its location right on the shores of Lake Tahoe, Incline Village sees the most visitors over the summer. The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor is held in July and August each year. Winter is also a popular to visit, especially with Diamond Peak and Mount Rose ski resorts so close to town. Spring and fall are good times to visit for outdoor activities and smaller crowds.
