Nevada Beach Campground

So we just came to spend a day on beach and we had full loaded car with handicap inside. we were asking to drop our beach and kids staffs on the beach, parking was full as as on the board but guy that worked there let some people to get in for the cash, sone if his client where his friends they spoke about his was fun yesterday and they do not paid plus had private .not safety and really unprofessional employees

Love this beach because its dog friendly! But wish wish there was a dividing fense between dog friendly and not! People without dogs are very rude to the people who bring their dogs here. Very frustrating.

We went during wind lake advisory and experienced 32 degree 45 mph wind gusts. It was awesome! My 3 kids had so much fun. It was very cold. But we didn’t care. It was beautiful. The mountains breathtaking.
I cannot wait to go again! I would love to camp there when it’s open season.

BEAUTIFUL VIEW!!! Coming from San Diego, it’s interesting to see how different places attempt to create beaches. I’ve seen some pretty good «beaches» and I liked this one! A beach, 6,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by pine trees and snow-​capped mountains… very unique! The sun was warm, but the water was freezing!!! I brought a towel that in case, but I ended up just dipping mm feet because it was ice cold. I did see some brave souls swimming in the crystal clear water.

This review is strictly for Nevada Beach, a beautiful, wide, sandy beach only minutes from the Stateline hotels. We came off season (September) during the week and had lovely views and a quiet, sparsely populated beach to enjoy. A nice escape from the noisy, hectic beaches elsewhere in Tahoe.
To get here, from Highway 50, turn left on Elks Point Road and follow it down the hill to the entrance station. The day use fee is eight dollars, and many avoid that by parking prior to the entrance station and walking to the beach. We figured, what the heck, we’ll support the Nevada Parks, and paid the fee. It was convenient to then use the ample parking and have our car (and trunk) close by at the beach.
Wonderful beach, and one of the highlights of our stay.

I’d give this place a 5 star if it had showers but other than that — it’s awesome! I’ve been here a few times now and there is nothing better than camping so close to the shoreline… Amazing weather this past weekend…
Very clean and well it’s Lake Tahoe so you can’t get any better than that! Love it!

We come to Nevada beach often just for the day. We decided to give camping a try although we don’t love dry camping AND no showers. Great campsites, spread out, and of course the beauty of Tahoe. Big problem– of the four nights we stayed three nights loud music (and I mean loud) played late into the night. It sounded like live music and it was not coming from the campground. Really a bummer. I wouldn’t stay again

I’ve been coming to this area with my family for years but never really paid attention to the beauty of the beach and the great view of the lake. Came here for a little mini vacation and wow was I amazed… water is nice and blue (kind of greenish at the shore) and the restrooms are actually restrooms. lol. Will definitely have to come back this summer.

Looking for a Tahoe beach that you can BBQ at? Don’t want to pay $ 8 to park? This is the beach for you… If you park on the street right before the main entrance it is totally free & there is a paved path that will take to right to the beach (about .25 mile walk)… once you get to the beach there is a planked walk way that takes you right on the sand. Such a nice beach with amazing views!

I love this campsite, I have been coming here for more than 20 years. I have loved it almost each year. The beach is always clean, the campsites are always great.
So you may wonder why I am giving this site that I love so much only three stars– the people. Specifically people that use the campground as a parking spot for the day while they go up to the casinos. People that take prime camping spaces away from tent campers for their behemoth RV’s.
These people make it harder and harder each year for people like my family to even get a reservation.
If there was any sense of fairness in the reservation process, RV’s would be in the less than desirable areas, and people that plan on spending the majority of their time at the casinos or golfing, wouldn’t even be allowed to get a reservation. But that’s just me, I guess I am a purest. I find it irritating to click on a reservation the earliest possible time, but in less than, the campsite is gone.
(seriously though, if anybody knows a trick to get a reservation, feel free to contact me. lol.
)

Such an amazing camp ground. Everything is perfect here. From the warm sun drenched sand beaches to the cool crystal clear water!
The camp sites are all super clean and so are the restrooms, which is key. There are many great trails that start right from the camp spots.
You can walk over to the Edgewood Golf Course and the sunsets from the beach are always perfect. You are 5 min to casinos and Heavenly.
I don’t have one bad thing to say about one of the best campsites in Lake Tahoe!

Clean bathrooms, $ 7 entry fee, rocky shallow entry. Wooden boardwalk along the sand so you can walk comfortably to the shore. Lots of picnic tables and ample parking for a summer weekday.
Huge minus, the paddleboats and kayaks were there but no one working to take our money and rent them to us!!! Apparently they don’t work on Mondays and Tuesdays. What a bad idea, y’all. I realise this doesn’t reflect on the park or beach itself, but this is just an FYI.
Trees in the area offer shade and there is a great sunset view along the lake. Perfect for a picnic lunch and some swimming w the kids.
Oh, and to the Ranger dude driving along the sand to check on us all, could you drive a tad slower, we were all kind of in fear of being run over, (he tends to ride pretty fast on the beachmobile.)

Beautifffuuullll Tahoe Beach!!!
All day parking is 7 bucks. You can drive in and out all day long.
BF and I came here before leaving Tahoe and instantly regretted for not BBQing here. lol.
The scenery is beautiful, kinda breath taking actually.
No bugs flying about. The water was nice and clear, but cold!
However, I hated the sand lol. My precious feet lol. It was reallyyy coarse. I would not walk here without shoes. lol. It will scuff your feet up!!!
Aside from that, it is an awesome place to come with your friends and family! =]

Beautiful Lake Tahoe beach, but the sand is super coarse and hurts (–1 star). The beach also gets super narrow at points. There are tons of benches and picnic tables and BBQ grills throughout the beach, which is really nice, and it’s dog-​friendly.
We wanted to go kayaking with Kayak Tahoe but the wind was too intense this weekend and they weren’t renting kayaks. We found a raft and tried to go in the water with it, but indeed the waves were too rough and we didn’t get anywhere with that… and the water was freezing as well. ;)
Oh, we parked up on the street and walked in so we didn’t pay for parking. The bathrooms are very clean.

I am a local and during the summer I run down here.
The beach is great and if you know the secrets you can walk in without paying.
After this season they tore up the pads and roads. It looks like they realigned some of the pads and made them wider. I think you should easily be able to park four cars there or a trailer and a couple of cars with room to spare.
They finally finished the new bathroom and are continuing to upgrade the campground.
If you like camping and are interested in being close to the lake, casinos and mountains stay here.

This is the best place on the lake. Period.
Parking is $ 7. When all the spaces were getting filled up the park staff was on it, making good make-​shift parking spaces in the dirt lot and and really kept things organized.
They also have a nice trex style walkway to the beach, which is cool if you are going barefoot.

SAND-​ROCKS?!
(4 stars)
First time ever being on a beach in nevada. Would you really call southeast lake tahoe a beach?!
Four car-​full of friends headed up to S. Lake Tahoe to: 1) celebrate a friends birthday 2) get out of the bay 3) swim. We didn’t stay at the campgrounds (we stayed at a huge 2 story house 15 minutes away) but we came here for their beach. And by default because the other beaches were too packed and we found ourselves here. The sand isn’t sandy like the other beaches, it’s more like sand-​rocks at this beach but definately gives the bottom of your feet a message.
If your here before 12’noon you get easy access to a spot, parking was easy (in and out for $ 8). However, if you come late good luck waiting in line in your car to get in.
Again, came here by default. There is nothing to rent but paddle boats, hella boring. NO jet-​ski rental, NO boat rental, NO nothing but sit on «sand» that were really mini rocks in the heat and have the beautiful view of the lake in your face. Great place to just kick back and have a bbq and drink-​up with your friends. I enjoyed myself.

The person («D. Slone S.F. CA.») is clueless and/​or is reviewing the wrong beach. There is no marina at or near this beach and the Tahoe Queen doesn’t pass anywhere near this beach. It’s perfectly flat water so there’s little incentive to gun it even if you did have a jet ski. To be perfectly clear, this is the beach off of Elks Point Road, right off of US 50 by Round Hill.
This is one of the largest sand beaches in Tahoe. Not only are we talking long, we are talking wide. Facing west, this beach gets a lot of the afternoon sun, plus there’s a rather large camp ground for RVs set back in the trees.
Excluding the 4^th of July weekend, there is ample parking both inside, on Elks Point Road and finally in the Safeway parking lot at the corner of US 50 and Elks Point Road. The proximity to Safeway means you can safely forget condiments, make a little walk through the wooded meadows or up the road and walk back along the level trails. In addition, one can park at Kahle park, the recreation area up the hill, and near the housing and walk through the meadow to the beach.
Children will love not only the beach, but the ability to run through the meadows, and wooded lots. The sand is clean and rock free like most places at Tahoe.
However, the lack of a boat ramp will limit those who want to bring power boats (e.g. boats and jet skis) which can be a boon or a bust. People with inflatables or kayaks may be in for a walk, so plan accordingly.
Fall 2010 was a year of renovation, and they have enhanced the parking lot, put in «board walks» for disabled people and people with strollers to be able to get closer to the beach. There are several fire pits, with several larger areas which can be reserved for groups like wedding receptions. They have also enlarged and added additional facilities.
A kayak renter operates near the north end, if you desire. The southern end is where the RV’s and camper reside.
The southern end, near the boat in area (NOT MARINA) is a dog friendly, and please pick up after you companions (2 and 4 legged). Further south is the «off limits» mobile home beach, it’s private property to the low water mark (unlike CA).
Campground reservations are usually «first come first serve» with most of the summer weekends packed, but mid week open. This is a pedestrian and children friendly recreational area, so bring your kids, strollers and bikes and have a good time.
So, plan accordingly but if you forget something then a short walk to Safeway will let you have a wonderful time here!
For folks who want a nice leisure bike ride, this area is hard to beat. Its rolling meadows, tree shaded areas can help even the most out of shape (e.g. very young and very old) people enjoy the outdoors of Tahoe.
Now for the 4^th of July… This is one of the prime locations for viewing for CA and NV visitors. It gest busy and the parking lot will fill up by 9:30AM (if you’re lucky). People will fill up Elks Point Road and the DCSO will shut down access. You can park by Kahle park and walk in, as well as Safeway, but that gets pretty bad. You will not get a campsite unless you reserve near the start of the season (May). Alcohol is prohibited as are fireworks, and the DCSO and volunteers will patrol to ensure EVERYONE has a good time. The breeze keeps bugs away, but bring sunscreen as there is a lack of shade. Find a spot near the water line on the south end to try and get the best view. Leaving will be a problem.
Your best bet? Park at the Kahle community center and walk in about twilight as there is plenty of room if there are a few of you. Ask and make friends. Leave the booze at home.
I now avoid this place like the plague on the 4^th, as there are plenty of places with good (if not better) views of the fireworks show. But if you have a family and want to make a go of it, having a wonderful day at the lake then Nevada Beach is a winner.
Why not 5 stars? Gets windy and the scenic nature of the rocks and outcroppings of Sand Beach beat it.

*Review for day-​use area only*
Nevada Beach is just beautiful, and you will never find a more perfect place to spend the Fourth of July. We have done it three times, and it is usually worth all the hassle. You have to get there REALLY early to snag a decent spot (we are usually there before 8am), but after you do you can lie back and admire the beautiful view of the Lake and Mt. Tallac and wait for your beach spot to turn into the perfect viewing area for the amazing fireworks show.
There are some downsides, though:
–The sand is VERY rough, and it is quite painful to walk on the beach without shoes. Once afternoon hits, the sand also becomes very hot.
–There are some pretty gnarly anthills at some of the sites farther from the water. Make sure to watch for this when choosing a spot.
–This year on the Fourth they upped the normal $ 7 fee to $ 20 without posting anything about it on their website. I specifically looked up the fee to make sure I had it right, only to find out when we got there that they were gouging people.
Someday I hope to actually stay in the cammpground!

Repost — Now with correct location ~
I was right, finding the right location to write my review was as tricky as finding this beach. I originally posted my review as DL Bliss State Park but thanks to another Unilocaler, I was able to rewrite and post my review to the right location.
On the day I visited the Nevada Beach, the weather was 85, water was blue and so was the sky. It was really beautiful. You really have to step back and see Lake Tahoe for it’s beautiful environment, instead of all of the entertainment it has to offer.
I really enjoyed my summer trip out to Lake Tahoe and hope that we can sneak in a few more trips before the winter season. I hope to write about those adventures as well.
