RV Rental Tahoe Valley Campground

Wondering why the Tahoe area is so popular no matter the time of year? Maybe it has something to do with the exceptional parks and recreation areas lining the shores of the lake. With your campervan rental, you can visit places like Ed Z’Berg Sugar Pine Point State Park on the western side of Lake Tahoe. Named for a politician that fought to make this park a protected area, this once heavily logged forest is now teeming with forest groves and wildlife. Cottonwood trees and lodgepole pines decorate the edges of the lake, with beautiful nature trails perfect for biking, walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.

D L Bliss State Park and Emerald Bay State Park are two adjoining areas even closer to Tahoe Valley Campground, eliminating the need for you to travel far to splash into the swimming areas of Lake Tahoe. D L Bliss State Park is named for a railroad magnate whose descendants donated land along the lakeside to create the park. There are lofty bluffs overlooking the water, including the highest elevation lighthouse in the country. Emerald Bay State Park is a designated National Natural Landmark, thanks to its jaw-dropping views of the lake, and the captivating snow-capped mountains that rise above it. There is even a Scandinavian-style castle on site adding to the mysterious appeal of this lakeside wonderland.

Tahoe National Forest is an obvious choice for those doing some Lake Tahoe camping. Close to 900,000 acres of evergreen wilderness comprise this divine forest, along with several backcountry wilderness areas and a bevy of nature paths for hiking and biking. You can spot some mighty sequoia trees in the park, known for being some of the largest trees in the world, or camp beneath the stars with breathtaking views high above Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Lake Tahoe is lined with charming small towns and other tourist-centric spots, so you will have no trouble finding places to do some sightseeing while RV camping at Tahoe Valley Campground. The Vikingsholm Scandinavian Castle at Emerald Bay State Park is worth checking out if you are into foreign architecture. This incredible structure looks like it belongs in another place and time, with decadent exterior and interior decorations.

The Tahoe Maritime Museum brings attention to the fascinating history of Lake Tahoe, and the maritime commerce and trade that took place for countless years. Study the natural history of the lake, learn why it is so clear and deep, and find out about the myriad of shipwrecks found at the bottom of Lake Tahoe when you visit this interesting institution. There are even a few boats on display to help paint a more detailed picture of the industry.

You cannot forget about the wintertime when planning a camper rental trip near Lake Tahoe, especially if you enjoy skiing or snowboarding. This region is known the world over for its dazzling slopes and northern California snow powder that attracts Olympic medalists training for the worldwide games. Homewood Mountain Resort, Boreal Mountain, Northstar, and Sugar Bowl Mountain, Heavenly, and Mammoth are just some of the mountain resorts you can see when you book an RV in El Dorado County.
