Easy access to the lake with all the amenities. Family friendly and a great staff. Meeks Bay trail head is a short walk away.

The great thing about the campground is the close access to the beach/lake. It is only about a 2-3 minute walk, depending on which campsite you're walking from. The Meeks Bay trail head is also across the street and about 25 yards down the road. In general, it's a beautiful campground for families/large groups. The sites are sandy and pretty flat. Don't forget to check out the local farmers market (May-Oct, every Thursday, 8-1) http://www.foothillfarmersmarket.com for local fruit, veggies and everything else.

There's nothing better than waking up and already being by the lake! Its beautiful in the early morning sun, and there's not many people so this is the most peaceful time.

Grounds are well maintained. Good for family camping. Beach is nicely nestled in a low wind area.

Paddle from Meeks Bay to D.L. Bliss

The water at Meeks Bay is perfectly crystal clear, a mix of different blues and greens – you can see the bottom floor in most places. Hug the buoy line to have a clear view to the lake's bottom, or cruise the dark blue waters where the lake falls off from 20ft deep to some of its deepest levels of 1,645 ft.This is perfect for a morning paddle, a lunchtime trip, or a sunset cruise, and works gre...

Backpack to Crag Lake

Day 1:This trip is a great early season trip while you are waiting for the snow to melt in the high country or it could be a good first backpacking trip because of its proximity to the trailhead and the fact that it's a relatively easy hike. Also, you get to camp by a beautiful lake with a dramatic peak rising from the far shore. For how close and easy this hike is, you get a lot of bang for ...

Hike the Lighthouse Trail at D.L. Bliss State Park

The Lighthouse Trail is a 2.3 mile loop located in D.L. Bliss State Park on the lower west side of world famous Lake Tahoe. To get the trail, enter the park through the main entrance ($10 parking fee), the follow the road until you see two parking areas of the left side with about 6 or 7 spots each. Park there, and you will see the trailhead directly across from you on the other side of the ro...

Hike the Rubicon Trail

The Rubicon Trail is a through hike connecting D.L. Bliss State Park and Emerald Bay State Park. You can start at either point. I opted to start at D.L. Bliss State Park to avoid the long walk uphill to catch the Nifty Fifty shuttle. Also, there is more available parking at Bliss. Park your car as far down as you can to the lake as you can. The hike follows a well maintained trail along La...

Boulder at D.L. Bliss State Park

This place is bouldering heaven. Short approach to the first boulders, challenging routes for every level, good landings, and set in a beautiful area. It's like Bishop, but without the long drive.Technically you can come anytime in the season, but it is highly suggested to get a morning session in or hit this place up in the spring and fall. It can get pretty hot here in the summer. Unfortunate...

Hike to Eagle Rock

Starting at an outcrop off Highway 89 in Tahoe Pines, hikers make their way up the trail through a gradually sloping forest. Climbing rocks and logs, it is strenuous at times but only takes about 15-20 minutes to accomplish. Once at the top, the elevation is 6,286 feet and consists of an absolutely epic panoramic view of surrounding mountains, valleys, and lake.
