This place is not as "zoo-ish" as it always seemed when we'd drive by in the past. Most the big crowds are there to rent bikes and the campground itself is nice and quiet. Some sites are tight and close but there are some nice bigger sites as well. There is a mix of full to partial hookups. The lots and roads in the campground are dirt so be prepared to sweep and 'swiffer' the inside of your RV daily. To us that was no big deal. Bears frequent so keep ice chests and food inside at night. Staff was over the top friendly and really accommodating when the firepit at our site wasn't going to work for the night when our entire family was coming. They were even going to bring a back-hoe to move a boulder to make it work for us. In the end, they put another site on "hold" for us to use the firepit for that night! Lots of trees. Don't miss the ice cream at the parlor: their 'kids scoop' is the same as buying a triple-scoop at Baskin Robbins! Great place. This is the only place in Lake Tahoe that we will be going back to next year! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful area and a fun but rustic park. Extremely dusty! A few loads of gravel on the roads would have made this a much nicer stay. Nice treed campground, but absolutely against any kind of pet. Close to lake and town. Only issue was that they put our 27' trailer in a space made for a 20' max trailer and it took a half hour to get it in there. Staff was nice and we would stay here again if they do something about the powdery fine dusty roads that coat your entire RV when people drive in and out. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camp Richardson as a whole is a "10", but we stayed in the RV park. There were no paved roads, all dirt. The sites that we stayed at had only water and electric, no sewage, so we had to use the showers on site. It was hard staying clean because of all the dirt, and I think there was a lot of ash residue from the fires a few years ago, so my kids got really dirty, more so than usual. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to help us! I love the resort there and they have their own beach with a very good restaurant called "The Beacon". They also rent watercraft there and have a general store. I would stay there again if I could get the full hookup sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We would give a higher rating if the bathrooms were ever cleaned, This is an older family campground used by tents and some trailers. For $30 a night we have been to cleaner RV parks.Keep in mind it is a Camp Ground. however, even State Park Camp Grounds are cleaner. overall a good place for families with kids. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a very nice park. Campers were all quiet and respectful, within reason. Many bike trails/rides within immediate proximity. You can rent pedal boats and kayaks just across the street. Wi-fi worked smoothly for us. We had to wait in line a while to dump, upon checkout. The only negative was the water tasted awful! We used bottled! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Paid $35 base rate for E/W site, then another $1 per day for having a dog, and another $5 a day for having a tow car. They nickel and dime you to death, but it's a beautiful spot. There are lake-view sites, but they are right on Hwy 50 which is pretty busy so we wouldn't be interested. Sites are densely shaded and mostly level. The surface you park on is a combination of dirt and fine dust, and it sure does stick to one's shoes. We checked out the showers and refused to use them due to the community dressing area. The showers themselves were not large enough to bring one's clothes in and have them stay dry while showering, so that isn't an option. The showers were very dark, and while I won't say they were dirty, they gave me the creeps. Another option in the area is the NFS Fallen Leaf campground which we will try next time, although we liked this one enough to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location! Lots of rules... Some don't make sense... example: My wife drove our towed vehicle into park and had to pay $5.00 per day to park vehicle at our site. If we had towed it into the park it would have been free. Staff seemed very friendly. Also, very strict on 11:00 am checkout time, even when the camp was half full. We saw the park staff writing notes on campers that were as little as 15 minutes late to check out. We stayed in loop B which had only electric hookups. Water was shared between every 2 sites so it didn't cause any troubles. Also a honey wagon was available to pump out your black and gray water tanks for $10.00. The B loop is very tight to navigate with 35 foot class A. The pine trees are very close and make it difficult to drive around the loop, however with care it is possible. Overall a very good experience only improvement would be a little more flexibility on some of the rules especially if it doesn't negatively affect anybody's camping experience. We would camp here again if in the South Lake Tahoe area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My intent was to stay at this campground based on web information. What became immediately apparent is that the campground is very poorly designed for large rigs. I missed the registration sign and got on a park road that was near impossible to navigate with my 38' rig and ended up scraping one of the many hazards, in my case a tree stump, followed by a very large rock. The mountain setting was nice, but I cannot recommend this park for anyone with a large rig. The staff offered no help navigating the very tight spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I chose this park over several others because it seemed cheaper and nicer looking, but I was wrong. We arrived in the middle of a thunderstorm and after checking in they told us where our site was and no-one helped us park.The site was either a back-in or pull-thru and after driving to it decided to go around the park and pull-in.This place has a WHOLE bunch of tight corners and several LARGE boulders to get past. I believe this is the tightest place I've ever been in. Finally got parked and the slides out. The front slide cleared the utilities by 6" and the rear cleared a two foot tree by 2". The tongue is 4" off the ground and the rear jacks are on 12" blocks and all the way down. It is dirty,dusty, the cable doesn't work properly (you have to plug in each TV separately and so we have cables running thru the windows and it was still snowy). Paid $71 basic fee per day, plus $5 per day for one extra person, plus $5 per day for our cockier puppy, plus $5 per day for cable, plus $10 for three days of Wi-Fi. I will say that most of the staff was friendly and the CG was full for the holiday week-end and was basically quiet, even with lots of kids. Also when we got back from the day, there was a note on the door that we were late check-out and to come to the office to take care of the extra day. Did that and discovered that they had only charged me three days DEPOSIT and not the whole four day stay and they weren't very nice about it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camped here over a full Labor Day. The tenters weren't always considerate, but they quieted down after an emphasized curfew time. Park staff clean the sites after tenants check out, and park was accommodating when we wanted to stay past our reserved time, even though they had a large rally group coming in. "Premium" site designation can be misleading. It means a site usually located on the perimeter so no one is directly behind you. It can also mean very unlevel: so much that you can't level a larger motorhome. This park is older and not refreshed, but there are no glaring deficiencies. Paved roads to dirt sites may be tough to negotiate with larger rigs, but not impossible for those who can drive well. Suggest removing toads near office to assist with maneuvering. If you like camping in the pines on dirt with full hookups, this place is for you. The park encompasses a lot of acreage not used for camping, so you really can be "in a forest" if you get a perimeter site. Beware the hospital next door does have life flights coming and going at any hour, although surprisingly this weekend very few flights were heard. Reservations can be tricky if you don't know the process. Suggest calling the local Tahoe office versus the Florida corporate office to make your reservations. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground would rate a ten were it not for the excessive price and necessity of purchasing (Tengo) Wi-Fi. There were a number of sites that would easily accommodate our 42' motorhome and our site gave us just enough sky among the trees to find Direct TV with our portable dish. We were here after the crowds had left so there was plenty of space throughout the campground. We spent two weeks and enjoyed the weather and the many pine trees. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

After reading some negative comments about this campground, we rolled the dice and elected to stay here and not pay the $70+ for the Zephyr campground. We had asked for a "big rig" site for our 36' MH/tow car. We got exactly what we wanted. It was shady, easy to access and quite clean and comfortable. The entire campground has a sandy base, so there was some dust, but it is a campground afterall. The roads were paved and there were some roots heaving the asphalt, but nothing that caused us any concern. We had a great experience and the the check in went smooth. We checked in very late, so the office was closed, but our site was identified and we knew where to go based on the door posting. No problems. The campground is off the beaten path, so it was very quiet and everyone honored the 10pm quiet time. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
