Zephyr Cove Resort

Zephyr Cove’s campground is beautiful. It is well maintained and a serene landscape across highway 50 (there’s a crosswalk) from Lake Tahoe. We stayed as a stop in a cross county road trip from Florida to Oregon. The cost was reasonable, check-in was easy, & the walk to the lake is short & easy. The noise levels are pretty high in the evening from the RV crowd, but it didn’t keep us awake. The drive up sites, where we stayed, have a picnic table, fire ring, large bear box, driveway and a tent pad (not paved, but flat). We will be returning when we have more time to enjoy the surroundings and the lake!

Campground admin wasn't operational on site so you had to walk across the street to the resort to check in, etc. Location was beautiful and convenient to a small beach area with boat rentals and sightseeing cruises docking there. Also, a small beach bar and grill with outdoor tables. Campground bathrooms were minimalist but adequate. Across the street, beach bathroom facilities, however, left much to be desired. I'm not sure if they are part of the resort or independent.

Our family and friends come to this RV Resort every summer vacation because there are many water entertainment projects here. My husband and daughter like the jet ski sport and have driven it many times. Today we came here as usual, and my husband took his driver's license to register, but was rejected by a staff member. The reason is that my husband's English pronunciation is not good, and he thinks that my husband does not know English. I explained to him that we have come here many times and have driven jet skis and other projects every year. To prove this, I even showed him our previous photos and my bank credit card bill records. But he still insisted that they cannot provide services to guests who cannot communicate with him very well in English! And said that this is their rule. We have immigrated to the United States for ten years. My husband has a Class A driver's license. We have our own property management company and RV rental business. We sincerely ask him not to destroy the image of the company and our vacation mood because of his prejudice! But he still insisted that he could not provide us with jet ski services, and said that they have new regulations. It is not possible for us like before. I asked him to show me the new policy, and he said to call the manager. Then a man who claimed to be the manager showed up, and he also couldn't show me their new rules and refused to record the video I started at this time. Then he called other department staff to ask us to leave his area! In the end, our family was rudely driven out, which really caused us a very, very bad psychological burden. The long-awaited vacation of the family was completely ruined! Because this water sports project is belong with the RV camp where we live, we always feel the strange eyes of the surrounding tourists after that moment!

Great location! The front desk closes at 5pm and we arrived at 10pm. Our key was taped to the main door that enters into the lodge. We drove around looking for our cabin and it was hard to see the numbers on the doors because there was hardly any lights on the property. The restaurant had excellent food the next morning and the service was very good.

Really nice clean water and area was great. We really like it a lot. We got there early, and we're able to get good parking, plus a really good spot on the beach.

We simply dropped in for an ocular trip and explored the area. There's a dock for the Dixie, cruises from Thur to Mondays, 2 restaurants, water sports rentals, beach volleyball, and charming cottages for longer stays. Had lunch at the restaurant, A day's tour parking is $12 if using the beach, taking the cruise or dining.

Fabulous property, lots of fluffy white snow, very comfortable cabin with fireplace and everything you need for comfortable easy stay. Efficient plowing, beautiful beach and VIEWS amazing! Cute little town activities as well as snowmobiling, tubing, etc!

We just stayed overnight in one of the small cabins near the main lodge. It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast right in front of the warm fire. It is on the far east side of South Tahoe, so a not walkable to attractions, but nice and quiet. We would definitely stay there again.

They need better communication Customer service is terrible Will definitely not come back They should not ask employees to arrive from other states to arrive early and not have work for them creating hardships for the employees and their families

We have been coming to this RV camp for years. In the past we have always had a good experiences. They must have changed their reservation method. I called multiple times to set a reservation. I finally got a male in the restaurant office who told me to call back after 12:30. I did, I got a lady who told me I needed to call the 800 number on their website I said no problem but the website doesn't let me select a site. Since we would be coming in late we would like a pull thru. She transferred me to the RV campground manager. No answer, I let a message.....NEVER heard back. I called the 800 number on their website website. I got a male, I asked if he could see if there was a pull thru available. There was it was in the front area but a pull thru...site 114....awesome. He told me our paperwork would be taped to the outside of the lodge door which is across highway 50. This surprised me, usually the paperwork is tacked to a board at the store located in the RV campground. He said they don't do it that way. We arrived at 9:30 pm.... Walked up and down the front of the lodge....NO PAPERWORK. I seen two young males coming out of the restaurant door. One came out the lodge door. He said the paperwork was still being put on store at RV store. We went back across highway 50...mind pulling a RV trailer. The lodge parking lot is NOT made for such vehicles. We got our site info.....site 104...? Someone genius at the campground changed us to a back up site 30 feet from highway 50. There is a BAD SITE. It's very difficult to pull forward enough to get your trailer lined up to back up between sitting one each side. I told my partner let's just pick a site and deal with the genius who put us in site 104 in the morning. It took awhile but my amazing partner got the RV trailer in. After parking and sitting up, he said, We are done with Zephyr cove RV campground. Keep you updated...the weekend has just started. We got up Saturday morning made breakfast figured this was our lot. Headed over to the lodge to the front desk to pay. I told the lady, Lori, what was going on she was very nice, she kept apologizing, she was very helpful. She gave us a discount and move us into a pull-thru. After paying I headed back to the site packed everything up, hooked up the trailer got everything ready to move to site 140. We were pulling out making a tight turn when a young lady on the golf cart stop us, she said no one told Lori that the people in site 140 had asked to stay an extra night. We couldn't get into 140 until 11 am. So we parked our truck and trailer in front of the camp store waited until 11:15, previous people still in the site...11:35 I called Laura to see what could be done...we spent 2-3 hours of our weekend waiting because some genius had given our reservation away. There is collateral damage due to dumb decisions. With all that Loti did to make our experience better zephyr Coves reserve process sucks. Next year reservations.gov is taking over the booking of sites. More updates to come the weekend is still young. NOTE: the staff at Zephyr Cove have been great except the blonde girl driving white truck and trailer the wrong way. Really, come on?! UPDATE- Sunday morning I received a call from lodge office Jade let us know we were not being charged for the one night... Lori, Jesse.(he stopped by our site to check on us), Jade, and Management really work to right the issues. My significant other's attitude has done a 360. He is talking about coming back...it's a really nice area. Lori

1st time here I am glad we stayed the weekend. The grounds are clean and across from the lake. The general store is also across the street attached to the restaurant. There are 2 properties 1 is the cabins on the lake and the RV resort across the street. We stayed in the RV resort and they also have an area for those who are in tents. The RV sights have full hook and a propane station. You are able to use the fire pit so bring the fire wood. This resort is just 5 miles from the casinos and hotels for those wanting a little night life, shopping or just a bit to eat. The only problem we had was the water hook up leaked and we could only use when needed.

We have been camping here for two days, and we have had a good time. They could use a little finesse, but so far we are delighted with the service and a very good place to camp with your RV.

I regret not looking at the reviews beforhand. terrible customer service around. Waste of money and time, will not be back.

We came up to Zephyr cove July 1st-3rd and stayed in one of the air streams. First off the staff here was friendly and the air stream itself was ok. It's what we expected from an air stream. Shower is a little small but the bed was comfy. I think our biggest problem was the lack of utensils, cookware, and bbq tongs etc. when I mean lack there were NONE! Not one bowl, plate, utensils, NOTHING. We asked the guy who gave us the keys to the #2 airstream and he said we were supposed to bring our own paper plates etc. The description of the airstream is false. We had to use our friend's camping supplies to BBQ. Extremely disappointed by this. Other than that it's a nice camp ground.

1st time staying at the RV Park, very nice and clean. The spots by the road can be noisy. You can walk across the street to Lake, also restaurant across the street. Will definitely go again. We stayed in spot 121, very nice.

Filthy, filthy, filthy! Upon arrival tour space was not cleaned up as there was still a reservation slip from the last camper in place on the post along with candy wrappers and an eaten corn on the cob. Then the restrooms and showers looked as though they had not been cleaned since last season, trash not even dumped. Also there was nobody working in the evening to ensure quiet hours as a group of high school kids were singing and chanting until 10:30 pm when finally my husband had to walk over and ask them to respect the quiet hour starting at 10 pm. Also our site was on a hill so the picnic table was on a horrible slant and the fire pit was down from that in which the tent campers would walk through our site. We will not be coming back. And I DO NOT RECOMMEND this so called "resort"

Bathroom had black mold around the tub and on the ceiling and walls. The shower curtain was dirty. The floors hadn't been swept with hair and debris everywhere. Trash was found under the bed. The rest of the cabin was in order, just older and in need of a deep cleaning (cobwebs, dust etc) If mold sensitivity is a concern you might want to explore other cabins. FYI, I notified management with zero response.

Hated staying here. I took my family here for a few days, and it was really dirty. The bathrooms are disgusting. There is nothing to do here. The cabins are really small and the employment is terrible. Save yourself the trouble and don't book with this resort

While camping under the pine trees directly across from the lake is ideal, this campground is in poor shape. Sites are uneven, with some being so tight that it wasn't safe to step out of our RV or we might easily trip and land downhill. Additionally, getting reservations took over a year.

The campsite was great, but got stung by a wasp and my neck became swollen. Bring sting relief if you come.

My family and I love Zephyr Cove. The cabins are perfect for relaxing. They aren't anything special, just super comfortable and clean. The staff has always been pleasant and the locations is beautiful.

This review is specifically for the RV Campground. I booked a 50' pull through site during the winter time. They plow the sites and access roads but don't expect to use the picnic table or fireput. The rv site included 50amp, 30 amp and two household outlets. I stayed overnight with my Tesla y and loved it. Would do it again. Walking distance to the beach and restaurant.

Wi-Fi is non existent in the RV park, you need to walk across the street to get checked in, cable TV is sketchy at best, cell phone hotspot was slow and only able to get it in the morning and evening. This RV park was not for us.

Rv campground We had no cable or internet(spotty at best).The host just said enjoy the view will give you a discount and they never should have listed cable and internet. By the way, when it's dark at night there's no view to enjoy it and they lied about the discount. I have camped here in the past and enjoyed it. I'm not sure who runs it now, but i was very disappointed. Fyi , they lied about the discount , never heard from them, and they never gave it when checking out . With that said, i won't be back .

We rented a cabin here for 4 days. Had to leave in the middle of the night to move to another hotel the first night. The Cabin was infested with fleas, pulled back the sheets on the bed and it was just coved in fleas. the staff when we complained acted as if this has been an on going thing, and wasn't at all surprised. We will never recommend this place ever. Gross!

We made reservations about 10 months ago for an Airstream rental and were greatly disappointed when they called two days before our arrival to cancel. The person stated the Airstream section had been flooded from the recent storms and they needed to cancel/reschedule. Being weather related, I understood at first. As we live in the valley below. I knew of their cabins. However, they didn't bother to ask if we would be interested in a cabin. As we had friends enroute to N NV from AZ with their fifth wheel. I asked for one of their cabins instead which they were able to reserve for us. Our friends arrived a day ahead of us to advise the Airstream section was not at all flooded and one of the trailers was occupied. Now I'm not as understanding. Upon our arrival, when I asked what the deal was, they stated the other Airstreams were not airtight and flooded with the recent heavy rain. Our cabin was OK but was not what we wanted originally and overpriced in my opinion. They put us right up against highway 50 and all you heard was traffic all night long. This was not a relaxing stay. There were only a few other cabins occupied during our stay. When I asked for a late check-out on the day we were leaving, I was told no as there was a reservation coming in that day. I didn't buy the denial and packed our things and left. The restaurant had good breakfast and service. The beach and lake were fun to swim and paddleboard. The MS Dixie is located at their dock, as well as boat and seadoo rentals. Perhaps I would give the stay better stars if the Airstream issue was communicated/handled differently. No discount was offered for the mishap either.

I've been there in 1965, 1967, 1968, 1982, 1983 and 2001. I tried to go again in 2021 but the lodge restaurant was closed so I cancelled. The refund was finally released to me. This is a public owned property that wasn't designed to handle mobs on its beach. It's meant for families to enjoy, not for depraved obnoxious crowds of self entitled rebellious youth. Stay away on holidays like July 4th because the youth ruin everything! https://youtu.be/fLrQG_G_1Ag

3 stars for location and price, very reasonable. We were back in cabin 24 again, it's our 3rd time in this same cabin within the past year and half. They replaced the stove, fridge, and microwave, fixed the kitchen faucet, bathroom sink no longer clogs, but the beds are still horrible! All we felt were springs, beds must be replaced! The door lock upstairs with the king bed to the bathroom was messed up and the shower upstairs, the shower faucet needs replacement as well as the water was either burning or freezing. I'm still waiting to give this location a 4 or 5 stars review.

My family and I got really thrilled when we got so lucky to book a cabin here for 4th of July last minute, we stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, it was not cheap and we expected that since it's 4th of July. The cabin itself and staff we're A+ but I did not expect that they don't have a special access to the lake for people that are checked in the cabins for the actual 4th of July, we shouldn't just have paid so much money and just went there like normal day use people. To make the story short, resort management, rangers, sheriffs should have a better game-plan on events like this, tourists paid that much for the cabins for that reason, an access to the beach would be great, other than that the staff, cabin itself we're 5 star but the 4th of July experience (there was no fireworks at the end of the night) we were not told and the no access to the beach experience was not what we expected, thumbs down for that part, very poor unhappy experience.

We came here on a Thursday afternoon and we had the beach to ourselves. This beach was very beautiful and peaceful. Will come back

Years ago the snow mobile tour was awesome. This year, after record snowfall, Zephyr Cove cancelled our reservation less than 24 hours before the tour! Ironically they require greater than 48 hours cancellation from guests for a refund. My refund will take two weeks. And I doubt Zephyr Cove will penalize themselves and pay me extra for impacting my vacation plans on short notice.

We rented two air stream trailer for 3 nights with our friends. The trailer was nice but the shower was small. I could not even bend down to pick up the shower head when it dropped on the floor. I had to open the door in order to pick it up. I am not even fat, 5' 4" with 140 lb. I can't imagine those who are taller or bigger size. They probably cannot fit into the shower. The bed was comfortable for the bedsheet was not nicely lay when we checked-in. It felt like someone had lay on it before and was a bit crumbled. For $400 a night, we would expect a better bed make up. The trailers have almost everything we need but the cooking utensils were not consistent. Our trailer has almost everything but our friends' were shocked of quite a lot of things. They have four people, but they were given only two soup bowls. They didn't have sauce pan and pots in their trailer. Our friends' trailer, 192, leaked near the entrance and dinette area. The previous guests actually informed the resort and their maintenance guys used duck tape to tape the leaked areas. However, it still leaked when it rained. The plus for the campground is the environment. The trailers are surrounded by tall redwoods. Nice place to stay or camp!

Out of all the destinations surrounding beautiful Lake Tahoe, I would have to say that "Zephyr Cove" is definitely one of more popular places that tourists flock to. The resort itself has just above everything you can imagine; lodging, RV camping, dining, weddings, parasailing, watercraft rentals, and cruises (that depart directly from here). This review I am writing is focusing specifically focusing on the beach itself. Located on the Nevada side, Zephyr Cove lies on the southeastern part of Lake Tahoe. Getting here is fairly easy as Highway 50 runs adjacent to the resort. Keep in mind that if you are willing to come here for the day during the warm summer months on either a Saturday or Sunday, I would advise getting here before 10:00am. The parking lots fill up very quickly. As of July 2019, the parking fees are $10 per vehicle. I arrived with my lovely lady at around 10:15am on the morning of 7/27/19. Since my hometown of Sacramento was expecting a high temperature of 105° that day, this seemed like the sensible thing to do to escape the miserable heat. It was exactly a 2-hour drive from our home and no hiccups. My familiarity with the entire Tahoe area also made coming here an absolute breeze. Fortunately we parking in a shaded area and made the short 5-minute walk to the beach. We had our cooler, two beach chairs, two beach bags, and an oversized blanket. As I mentioned, get here as early as possible if you want a spot to layout before the crowds arrive. I would even recommend arriving by 9am as people were already setting up their canopy shelters, umbrellas, tables, small tents, and beach chairs. Since we had a relatively small amount of items, we found an area to sit but were already surrounded by a ton of families. So if privacy is your thing, I would NOT recommend coming to Zephyr Cove and try a different beach as Tahoe has a ton more secluded places than this. A few minor things about Zephyr Cove Resort, there is a small bar that is adjacent to this beach. Here you can order, beer, wine, mixed drinks, and blended alcoholic beverages. They even have beachside service where they can take your drink order and bring it out to you while tanning. A few other things is a small picnic area, sand volleyball courts, a small stand that sells water toys, a public restroom, and plenty of places to dispose trash throughout. Overall, "Zephyr Cove Resort" is a decent place to spend if you're looking to lay out in the sun or go for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe. Many people have mixed opinions of this place based on the service of the cabin and RV parking. But for me, its a place that I enjoy coming to when in the area. Other than the stinging sunburn I received from the high altitude and bright sun, this was an overall above average experience. My rating, a solid four stars.

Well, we were in Tahoe? I'm from the PNW and love a good outdoor living space, but Zephyr Cove falls short in regards to staff, amenities and experience. Staff - mostly young high school kids, whose impatience with campers runs short. We had a decent experience with a young woman at check in, but we were not given adequate info for our stay. No one informed campers there was a burn ban (we had looked it up prior to our arrival and saw there was no ban. Other campsites had brought firewood which none of us could use). Amenities - The bathrooms are pretty disgusting. They were cleaned once during our week stay there. Expect the camp office to be closed (due to COVID?) so you'll have to cross the freeway to check in and contact any staff. Note for RVs - maneuvering is TIGHT. We saw several trailers struggle to fit into their spots and 1 family ended up leaving early after an hour long struggle (though it was good entertainment).so packed it feels like you're in a parking lot, not a camp site. Camp sites are mostly ON A HILL. If you have a rooftop tent I definitely don't recommend this space. Even with a tent you'll have to go up some steep inclines to get to your tent, down to your tables, bathrooms, etc. Experience - the beach is probably one of the best aside from Sand Harbor. The water is super clear, the beach is sandy, and usually not too crowded. Unfortunately, the rates for SUPs and jet skis aren't great. Take the drive 10 minutes to south lake and rent from their beaches. Also they close general parking for cruises until 2:30pm so watch out for that. Overall we had a good time, but we won't be recommending Zephyr to our friends/family. We'll be staying at south beach. It's worth the extra price for a better camping experience.

We rented an Airstream RV for 5 nights. It was obviously not well maintained or cleaned before our arrival. They advertise a "luxury stay" but it was not. As stated there was a lot of dust, pots, pans, utensils and outside grill were filthy. I called and a young man came to "clean up". What he did when he can I am not sure as the pots and pans remained dirty. The bathroom fan was not function and could not be fixed during our stay! The Adirondack chairs outside were also cracked. The on-site staff was nice and the manager did what he could do monetarily for service recovery. My complaint here is to reach Aramark who manage this facility. My husband has attempted to get their contact information but has not ever received a call back or email. They apparently do not care about the substandard facilities they manage. For what it's worth beware: this was a very disappointing resort.

Understaffed, dirty bathrooms, a very long walk to the beach, and the restaurant is all frozen food. My yearly camping adventure is not glamorous; after all, it's camping. However, this place is one disgrace after another. Driving in you're advised to go to the closed camp registration office, park in front of it, walk across the street to register, then come back because the drive-up campsite...isn't. Get another campsite, baking in the sun (like all of them at some point), set up. Go back to buy wood, which is over $12 per bundle, with no kindling, and have to carry it ourselves, because they don't know what they're doing, except standing around looking confused. Try to settle in for a decent stay. Then you go to the bathroom. Hair in the drain all three days, walls covered with gooey stuff, old webs and new everywhere, no paper towels or blower, disgusting in every way, and they were not cleaned for the three days we were there. Unacceptable in every way! Don't do it!

We live 10 hours away from this place. We had booked a 222.06 dollar lodge. What they failed to mention through email and on their website is the fact that they close at 6pm. That night, we were forced to stay at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which is another 200 dollars. It is the closest and cheapest hotel from this place. The next day, I went to their office to simply ask if I can get a refund. I mean that's 222 dollars down the drain, am I right? The lady gave me attitude and said no we cannot give you refund. She also said "you should've done your research on our website." Well should they have said this through the email confirmation? It's not even on the website either. They are refusing to give me a refund. I will be posting proof on social media. Tiktok and instagram. Maybe youtube too. I will be using the hashtag #zephyrcoveresort. I tried to be civil, but was not expecting that customer service. I filmed her give me attitude. I also have proof of all my bookings, including the hard rock casino and hotel.

Great family camping for lovers of Lake Tahoe! Right across the street from Zephyr Cove beach resort where you can swim, play volleyball, rent a boat, jet ski, stand-up paddle board, kayak or whatever you desire! Prices have gone way up, but that is just how the world is right now. Campsite is perfect. I don't see what the complaints are about. When you first arrive, park next to the restaurant on the lake side of the road and check in at the store. They will give you a parking pass and a map and your permit. Then, if you have a walk-in site, park as close as you can to the path but DO NOT BLOCK THE PATH OR THE ROAD! Park off to the side in the dirt. If you're blocking the road you will get told to move your vehicle. Unload your stuff and drop it on the ground and then move your car! Or take your time and unload your car if it seems like there's nobody else trying to get in and out. But just be courteous. Restrooms were fine. If you want a marble tub, go stay at a hotel. Restrooms were basically clean and functional. There are fire pits and charcoal grills and a picnic table and bear box at each camp site (walk-in sites). During our trip (July 8-12, 2021) there was a fire ban. So you have to bring a propane stove if you want to cook. That was fine with me. Grocery store only a mile or so down the road. Everyone brought their dogs, and even had them on the beach. Nobody seemed to care. I was a bit sad that we left our pups at home. Yes, you have to walk up a fairly steep hill to get to the walk-in sites. We got one of the very first ones so it wasn't bad. Our site was large and mostly shady all day. Bring a wagon to haul your stuff up and down the hill if you come to a walk-in site. Oh! No mosquitos or bees or yellow jackets this time! Yay! Some years they can be really bad so be prepared.

It's a shit show! Most of these sites have trees completely closing the sites in making it near impossible to call them true pull through sites. We have 6 trees on the driver side and 7 trees on the passenger side. We had to back out of ours. The smaller sites barely fit trailers. They hang over into the very narrow driveways. We have a 35' fifth wheel for reference. When we arrived we were given a site, told to park our rig, unhitch and check in. While we were unhitching the check in desk gave our site to someone else.

This is specific to the experience for the MS Dixie II sunset dinner cruise. We didn't stay at Zephyr Cove, so as part of your dinner cruise reservation/ticket, they offer a courtesy shuttle to/from select hotels. We stayed at the Hard Rock, all of 3 miles away, and confirms the morning of our dinner that we would get picked up at 5:15 PM for a 6:00 PM departure. We were outside from 5:15-5:40, with no signs of a shuttle. When you try calling, even after selecting the "For Cruises Today" option, it tells you that you'll be on for 28 minutes. We ended up hightailing it over to the resort in our own vehicle (luckily we had one), and were still required to pay the $12 for parking, though none of it was our fault. When we got there, the ticket office was closed and we thankfully managed the last person with a clipboard to get checked in. We ended up being the last two on the boat and no one could tell us why the shuttle never came. The cruise itself is beautiful, dinner is pretty good, but the shuttle/parking snafu left a bitter taste. L

I was looking forward to staying in one of their airstream facilities. I would stay at this resort. I had a constant parking issue even though my airstream had two guaranteed spots. I received verbal back lash from the two security guards when I confronted them during one of my parking space issues. The Security Phone does not work and they are not available after 12 AM based on staffing. I had two Maintenance issues (one of which was my doing) that they were suppose to immediately fix. Then to top it off the lady at the front desk during my check out told me she has been there a month and gets constant complaints. For what I paid, I would definitely consider other camping sights

They will take your money and then cancel your reservation. I prepaid for 3 night starting the 28th of June. Got a call the due to covid restrictions, they can only operate at 50%. Ok, totally get that, yet their IG, website, and Facebook advertise they are at 100%. Their response to my FB post, that they deleted, was "we have a few cabins out of service. Sorry for the inconvenience". If you go to their website, they're still taking reservation for the very same time period and cabins they cancelled. The catch, higher price! Total BS. My daughter is super disappointed, she was really looking forward to Tahoe. Thanks zephyr cove resorts for the crappy service and terrible communication. 6/28/20 update I talked to a rep at Amamark and the issue was magically resolved and I was sent a confirmation for my cabin. Oh, except it wasn't. At 545pm the night before I was supposed to check in, I got a call that said "sorry, we have another issue, can't help you". If you're like me, and already in Tahoe, you'll be forced to pay last min rates somewhere else or go home. Thanks zephyr cove for really adding to the Tahoe experience, my daughter and my empty wallet thank you. If I could give zero stars I would.

We booked a chalet over the weekend and really enjoyed the stay. Just know that you need to check in the merchandise store next to the restaurant. It opens from 10 am to 6pm. Ernie checked us in for the chalet and was super nice, Be aware there are no wi-fi at the resort. All cabins are located near the lake. Our cabin was facing the lake and we were able to enjoy the sunset and sunrise. There were many windows, so we enjoyed every side of the house looking out. The beds were clean and comfortable. Our toilet was cleaned, and heater was blasting all day. We cooked our food in the kitchen. using the pot, pan, knife, and many more kitchen items provided by the chalet. Safeway was close by, so we did not need to bring much on the trip. Although the chalet might show some wears, but the wooden feeling of the cabin and the fireplace made our trip memorable.

Looking for a beach in the late afternoon? Park on 50 and enjoy beautiful Tahoe at Zephyr cove. Picnic Tables, quiet, down from the big crowd near the MSDixie dock. Nice shade, small beach but perfect for swim or float . Enjoy Tahoe.

One of my favorite places. Out of all the destinations surrounding beautiful Lake Tahoe, I would have to say that Zephyr Cove is on the number one list for the tourist. Great views of the lake.

Amazing place but can get very busy. The beach is one of the most beautiful places to visit

Bring your wallet!! This place was $90 a night with full hook ups...pricey... and the lack of advertised amenities was shocking. Level campsites had pavement covered by lots of debris. Internet does not exist. We rented a boat at the resort for over $600 and still had to pay a $12 parking fee though we were at the campground and in a handicapped parking space. The sites in town are great, but this should be a place you skip.

I was very surprised to find such an inexpensive RV site. Maybe just the winter rate? Our site was plowed, but quite snowy. The bathhouse was clean and in good order. The store was closed for winter. The restaurant was good, very attractive, but only open for breakfast and lunch. The gift shop was well stocked, but a bit pricey. I would have liked a bit more attention placed on dealing with the ice. I hope to try it in the summer as the beach looked like it would be fun when not covered in snow!

Zephyr Cove continues to be one of my go to spots at Lake Tahoe, but the parking has gone up to $10, and so when you've got four vehicles arriving together about three hours before the sunset, it does cause a degree of suffering....but I do enjoy clean maintained restrooms, a relatively clean picnic area (which depends on my fellow beach goers), great Mai Tais, and a great sunset... Zephyr Cove, and Lake Tahoe, continue to be great places, but know about the parking fee in advance.

Beware. Worst RV park ever. Have the nerve to charge an additional $30/night security deposit - then put us in a site that was filthy and to add insult to injury - broken water hookup. Now, we have to stretch a hose to another RV site to get water. While we set up, I swept the site to clear off debris and garbage. Meanwhile, a staffer went by in a golf cart and picked up just a piece of garbage with a grabber, not even leaving the cart, then scooted on. I have never seen such a poorly maintained RV park (and we've been to MANY). There is no customer service. When you pull in to the Registration office, be prepared to take a hike. Apparently, the Gift Shop is more important - because you'll have to talk a block to go there to register. This is Aramark. Can't wait to get out of here and will never return. They should give me a credit for all the work we've done. Hire a decent maintenance crew, not Gift Shop workers.

June 16, 2022 - We pull into Zephyr Cove "resort" to rent a boat/jet skis, the parking attendant doesn't mention that the boats/jet skis aren't being rented out as it's apparently to windy until AFTER we pay for parking. I ask him immediately if I can have a refund or have my parking pass honored for a different day, as we only went to Zephyr Cove to rent the boat/jet skis, had we been appropriately informed that they weren't be rented out we wouldn't have paid for parking. We did not go to the beach. I went inside the resort and talked to Mark "the manager" and he refused to refund my parking or honor it for another day. He did not care about our situation. He provided the GM's James phone number which I called and he has not called back. I spoke to another employee who said that was new, because they would always refund the parking in the situation where the boats weren't being offered as rentals and customers immediately changed their mind (not using the beach). There are many other nicer beaches (ie Sand Harbor Beach, Emerald Bay, Nevada Beach). The "resort" is old, dingy, smells so bad, RUDE employees, and extremely poor business management. Imagine losing customers that would have spent thousands over this summer (with my coworkers and family) due to their refusing to refund $12 for parking that we never utilized. There are much better boat rentals and obviously better resorts on the lake only 5-10 minutes, keep driving and save yourself the headache and inept poor customer service.

Ok so the beach parking was full and they told us to return at 1:30 when boat returned from tour. We did just that. They began to slowly let cars in as others left park we counted 7 cars leaving as the employee allowed 3 cars in..... when we got to the lady working the booth at 1:30pm... She rudely said... we are closed now. We asked her... how is it closed! They had just reopened!!! many cars were leaving and she only let 3 cars in.. All Nevada license plates of course.... we are from California...So if your from Cali... please do not come and spend a penny here since they obviously discriminated us for having the wrong license..... She was Crazy angry, yelling and rude... said ... sorry we are closed. I am Handicapped and there was an open Handicap parking right in front of us. I pointed the empty space to her and told her. I have my Handicapped place card hanging and you clearly have an empty space. She yelled... let me do my job!!!! We are closed.... I was discriminated and violated of my handicap rights.. .. have never been so disgusted in my life!!!! Have been here many times and never have I encountered such horrible service or employee. Will never return to this place.. horrible staff I would give them negative 5 stars! Considering how they treat the single day use visitors.... NEVER EVER EVER EVER stay in their filthy campground! Nasty ass place!

Very bad experience. I sat out waiting for someone to pick up my family for over an hour. When I called the useless call center they couldn't get a hold of anyone. Found out the driver didn't show up and I missed my cruise. When I talked with the call center. They couldn't do anything. And the reps were very rude and didn't care. I talked with the person at the counter after I paid for the parking they told me to go to. And she didn't care just gave me money and said whatever. Horrible place. I wouldn't recommend going there. Don't waste your money on an overpriced cruise with people that don't care.

I do recommend this place however I find it becoming more and more expensive each season. I do understand inflation but even before inflation this is a lot. Now we just go get an Airbnb or go through another 3rd party renters app/website. Wish they would be more reasonable.

no stars are deserved for this campground i wish i would have read the reviews before driving almost 10 hours this place is horrible for the people who want to camp like myself and my family we had to carry all of our stuff up a steep hill we asked if someone could help us take up our things and they said no! i would not recommend this place please dont book unless you want to be disappointed we stayed for 1 night and and left the next morning we could not keep going up the steep hill the showers were about half a mile away the restrooms are disgusting sinks are gross as welll security is not helpful at all the ground level is so uneven so when your in your tent you will be sliding down in your tent because of the uneven ground the tables are also on a uneven level ground your food will be sliding off the tables again do not book here !

My family and I were really looking forward to this trip. Especially after 4 nights of dry camping with no amenities. We chose this location with my parents and booked over six months ago. They happened to be up in the area before our trip and asked if they could look around and see what sites we got. They sent pictures and naturally we were really excited to see it in person as well. Be prepared to park and walk across the street to check in, even though there's an office right there. I guess it's like the practice office because they can't help you, you have to go across the street. My husband and Dad check in and are told our site was given to someone else and we are not next or close to each other. Unfortunately, I twisted my ankle at our first campsite and was unable to walk a lot. However, after being placed in the smallest site possible with a wonky, slanted campfire pit and table that was leaning and missing parts, I decided to hobble over to the faux office. I waited awhile, left after five minutes of no one in there and when I walked outside an employee pulled up in the golf cart. I explained our situation and was told you have to go across the street, no help could be provided there. But.. she would call maintenance about the pit. Our pit got a few more rocks around it, filled in with dirt and still not level. We thought ok, we have our grille to cook on, we will make it work. Plus, we were in Zephyr Cove with the lake across the street. How could you not be happy? So.. we change our mindset, making it positive and then... sitting at the table we learned you couldn't have two people on one side, otherwise you're falling! New neighbors came in, let their dogs be free and roam, left them for a few hours, and we got to enjoy nature with the sounds of a very anxious barking dog. Not to mention coming up to our door and growling at my husband. We have a dog and he is leashed at all times and we never leave him alone at our site. Even with all that, the location is amazing. I don't know if we will go there again. I know this is a long rant, it just wasn't as magical as we had hoped. Rude campers, unsupportive staff, and sites that could really use some TLC. I'll agree with an earlier review that it's a shit show, but pretty.

I'm speaking for the beach. It's sandy with a few small rocks. Decent beach for kids and families. No dogs allowed which is nice. No loose "friendly" dogs and no poop. Parking is limited in the lot but it's close to the sand. Fours stars for the beach. Restrooms: all shut down and locked. They put a few porta potties out but they quickly filled up with feces and there was never any toilet paper. People put paper towels in them and then they disappeared, too. People were opening doors, taking one look, and shaking their heads. Behind a tree would be easier and more sanitary. I called the resort and they never answered. Put me on eternal hold. I called the porta potty company and they had me call the emergency number. I left a message there and as of now they've not called back. I went to the marina and told a bar tender about the problem and he promised to pass it up. Overall, two stars.
