Emerald Bay Campground, Lake Tahoe
Planning For Tahoe Camping.
I have lived at Lake Tahoe for over twenty years and only camped at the lake about five times. So this year I decided to plan at least two camping trips at a Lake Tahoe campground for next summer.
There is a campground on the south side of Emerald Bay where the road is narrow and winds back and forth. I have noticed it for years but never took the time to stop and see what the campground has to offer. Well, this year I did stop and walked through the campground. I was so impressed that I am going to make a reservation for next summer.
The Camp Ground has over 70 camp sites along a paved road that runs through a ravine and at the end opens to some wonderful lake view camp sites. There are trails to access the lake and you can hike as far as to the entrance of Emerald Bay. They have all the amenities you would expect such as: barbecues, restrooms, food storage lockers and a small amphitheater. The only thing it does not offer that I was hoping for, is a place to launch a kayak.
If you have camped here please comment below.
The second camping trip I’m planning for next summer is to circumnavigate the lake by kayak with my son, Justin. If you have done this trip and have any advice, please comment below. I will share my plans and research for my kayak trip around Lake Tahoe in a future Blog.
Here is the link to reserve a camp spot for next summer

Over the past week notices have been going up regarding the road project in the Highlands. On Friday the resurfacing was completed on Watson Drive and it looks great.
Tahoe Rim Trail Hike in Tahoe City near the Fairway Center
A couple of days ago we took a hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail. The trail head is located on Fairway Drive near the Chevron Station as you enter Tahoe City. Go up Fairway Drive, pass the golf course and look for a spot to park. This portion of the Tahoe Rim Trail is great for an afternoon hike. It can either be a short or a long one. You might want to grab a map at the trail head before you head out.
For a good portion of the hike there is a great view of Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River.
As we neared the end of our hike, a Rubber Boa was crossing our path. It may not look like it, but was about 2 feet long.
