Eagles Nest at Camp Richardson Resort

## Overview

Fallen Leaf Campground is situated on the north shore of Fallen Leaf Lake and
adjacent to Taylor Creek. The south shore of Lake Tahoe is less than a mile
away. The campground features 206 sites that include six yurts and standard
tent and RV sites. The campground is typically open from mid-May through mid-
October. Fallen Leaf Lake is less crowded and not as well-known as Lake Tahoe,
making this a great base camp for exploring the many sights and recreational
activities in the area. It's a popular campground and tends to fill quickly.

## Recreation

Both Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe offer opportunities for non-motorized and
motorized boating, tubing, waterskiing and windsurfing. Fishing is available
at both lakes, but anglers generally have better luck at Lake Tahoe. Guests
can swim in Fallen Leaf Lake, even though there are no designated swimming
areas. The south shore of Lake Tahoe offers the Pope and Baldwin swim beaches.  
  
Hikers can access the 1-mile Moraine Trail from the campground. The Taylor
Creek Visitor Center is directly across Highway 89 and has interpretive
programs, guided walks on the Rainbow Trail and to the Stream Profile Chamber.  
  
The Glen Alpine and Mt. Tallac trailheads are nearby for excellent day hiking
and backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness. The Pope-Baldwin bike path
parallels Highway 89.

## Facilities

Each yurt provides a cabin-like space for a family of five or six people. The
yurts sit on a wooden platform and have an electric light and space heater,
but no additional electric plug-ins. Interior furnishings include a futon and
bunk beds with mattresses. Cooking supplies and bedding are not provided.  
  
The tent and RV sites have paved parking aprons. Each yurt and standard site
has a bear-proof food storage locker, campfire ring, pedestal grill and picnic
table.  
  
Coin-operated shower facilities, water spigots and accessible restrooms with
flush toilets are scattered throughout the campground. A camp host is on-site,
and firewood and supplies can be purchased from the camp store. A public phone
is also available.

## Natural Features

The campsites do not offer views of either the lake or Taylor Creek, but they
are nestled among towering native pine, cedar, fir and aspen. Some are
adjacent to wildflower meadows. Guests only need to walk a short distance to
Fallen Leaf Lake, where the forested shoreline and surrounding mountains are
reflected in its crystal-clear waters. Prominent peaks include Cathedral Peak
(8,200 feet) and Mount Tallac (9,735 feet). The surrounding woods provide
habitat for squirrels, racoons, chipmunks and a variety of birds. The
campground has some resident black bears that are often seen by guests; please
be safe around bears.

## Nearby Attractions

A century ago, what is now the Tallac Historic Site held the ''Grandest Resort
in the World'' and the summer retreats for three of San Francisco Bay Area's
socially elite families. Today, the remains of the resort and the restored
estates attract thousands of visitors annually to recapture this bygone and
significant era in Tahoe's history.

## Overview

**NO PETS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE AT THE RESORT!**

Meeks Bay Resort has a long tradition as a family vacation and holiday
retreat. It is located on western shore of the famed Lake Tahoe (Da ow aga),
far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Washoe Tribe has been a
part of the Meeks Bay area of Lake Tahoe (Da ow aga) for many millenium. Their
link to the land is an important part of the Meeks Bay Resort charm. It is the
perfect spot to recharge those drained reserves and immerse oneself in the
spectacular rustic environment.

Enjoy the sandy Meeks Bay beach, or rent a kayak or paddle board and venture
out onto blue waters. Explore the hiking trails that lead both north and south
along the lake as well as the Meeks Bay Trail which climbs into the Sierra
Nevada Desolation Wilderness Area to Phipps Pass and beyond. For more details
download the document available from the US Forestry Service.

The Resort has abundant Day-Use parking and a grill for the hungry camper.
Stop by the main building for supplies, toys and clothes, and perhaps a chat
with one of the Washoe Tribe members.

The resort offers all levels of vacation facilities from the historic Kehlet
Mansion and the Washoe House, several cabins and lodges, full hookup RV spots,
and standard tent campsites. Many couples have begun their wedded life
together and families regularly hold their reunions at the Resort. Group
reservations can be made on Recreation.gov or by phone to the call center.

**Meeks Bay Campground is now an integral part of the Meeks Bay Resort.**

**NO PETS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE AT THE RESORT!**

activities. Enthusiasts will find hundreds of miles of trails to hike, bike,
and ride horseback. The Meeks Bay Resort provides sunbathing, beach play,

Kayak and paddle boards can be rented onsite. While motorized craft are not
allowed in the bay, boating and water skiing are readily accessible elsewhere
on Lake Tahoe.

Cutthroat Trout (Ɂímgi).

attractions. You won’t need to go far to experience the iconic views that
travelers come from around the world to see. The abundant natural features
include snow covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada, forested mountainsides, green
meadows, miles of pristine shoreline, and impressive granite boulders. The
azure lake is rimmed by footpaths, hiking and biking trails. Don’t miss the
spectacular views of De ek Wadapush (Cave Rock) across the lake from the beach
of mayála wáťa (Meeks Bay). The more adventurous hiker can traverse the Tahoe

RV Village Campground at Camp Richardson Resort

## Overview

William Kent Campground is conveniently located on Lake Tahoe's west shore, a
few miles south of Tahoe City. It straddles the highway and features not only
a large area in which to camp, but also a day-use area that is popular among

around Lake Tahoe. Bike trails that traverse the western shores of Lake Tahoe
begin near the campground.

## Facilities

highway. The campground has more than 80 sites, each surrounded by tall pine,

information.

Azalea Cove Campground

## Overview

The Bear River Group Campground offers four separate group campsites on a site
above the south side of the Lower Bear River Reservoir. The proximity to water
and the mixed pine setting in the fresh Sierra Nevada air, makes this
campground an excellent group retreat destination.

addition to smaller populations of brown and mackinaw trout as well. A short
distance past the Upper Bear River Reservoir is the Pardoe Trail, which
borders the Mokelumne Wilderness. The trail runs up the top of Squaw Ridge to
an elevation of over 9,000 feet, providing excellent views of the surrounding
area.

## Facilities

The campground is designed for tent camping only. Campstie 1 fits 50 people
while the other three sites accommodate 25. Piped drinking water, vault
toilets, picnic tables, campfire rings and a group cooking area are among the
amenities.

## Natural Features

Bear Group Campground is situated an elevation of 6,000 feet, just a short
distance (approximately one mile drive) from the reservoir.  
  
It is part of the Eldorado National Forest located in the central Sierra
Nevada. A Mediterranean climate extends over most of the forest with warm, dry
summers and cold, wet winters.

## Nearby Attractions
