Eagle Point Campground

Eagle Point Campground is always ranked first in the popular campgrounds in California due to its unique geographical location and beautiful natural scenery of Lake Tahoe. It is hard to get a spot and reservation is required half a year in advance. We stayed at Lower Eagle Point Campground in South Lake Tahoe for two nights from Jun 20 to 22. It was great whether hiking, sightseeing, barbecue or sleeping. Except for two hours of extreme wind and snow weather on Jun 21, we encountered a mother grizzly (brown) bear with two cubs, one brown and one black, who kept invading the camping sites where people were barbecuing and eating in the evening of Jun 20 and at noon on Jun 22. At about 12am on Jun 21, we were lying in the tent going to sleep and heard big and small bears passing by at close r

Quiet and clean campground with breathtaking views. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Please be aware of the bears! They prowl around looking for food, so be sure to keep all your food in the provided bear lockers. I’d definitely come back and recommend this spot to anyone looking to reconnect with nature.

Check in at the entrance to receive the camp rules along with your marked date and site number. Surprisingly we have connections enough for the use of Google map within the campground. We stayed at site #44 which has two levels but limited privacy and shade. We ended up sleeping on the upper deck where we enjoyed a better view! The restroom and water faucet were located directly across from our site. Showers require quarters or park tokens as shown in the video. It's just a few minutes walk down to the beach and there’s a nearby trail called Overlook. Be aware of black bears in the area (we saw two and I happened to film one of them) and ensure to lock all scented food, lotions or deodorants in the assigned bear locker. Then you can relax and fully enjoy!

What a beautiful campground. The bear defense is a bit of a chore but overall the sites are fantastic everything is clean... The shower token process is pretty annoying. The firewood is insanely expensive but it's California so I guess $10 is like their equivalent of $4 when utilizing the currency of the great Republic. Quiet well managed we didn't see any bears. The private beach is a nice enough option as the local beaches are overrun and expensive to visit. Great experience. Lots of restaurants and what not around if you want to go get lunch or a beer. The nearby vikingsholm is nearly inaccessible at all times if you want to see it you'll probably need to hike a few miles from the campsite or swim to it haha, not joking.

This was my first true camping experience, and a camper friend said I am now spoiled since we stayed at the most gorgeous California campground. The views were breathtaking and the pictures can't come close to the real thing. There was a decent area for tents, campgrounds are either for 4 or 8 people with 1-2 vehicle spaces for cars parked next to your camp. There is a bench, fire pit and bear box in all campsites. Making a reservation starts in January and some sites are harder to get as they are in demand because of their location and view. Staff stop by frequently (especially during the first 24 hrs) to make sure food is not left unattended when no one's around. They told us bears recognize the coolers and attempt to open them even when empty, so we put away the empty ones. We had two
