Camp Richardson is a true historic Lake Tahoe treasure. The property is very family friendly from the beautiful beachfront to rustic cabins to walkable paths to bike rentals to a sweet ice cream coffee parlor as well as a well equipped General Store with convenient eatery. The cabins are truly no frills rustic, but equipped with the basics. The Historic Hotel is comfortable with clean rooms and a cozy lodge lobby. This was our families fourth summer enjoying a Lake Tahoe vacation. The kids love Camp Richardson for beach and proximity to exploring outdoors, so looks like we’ll be booking our 5th soon.
