Our Take
What makes Eagles Nest at Camp Richardson Resort special
Eagles Nest at Camp Richardson Resort offers a more intimate take on the classic South Lake Tahoe camping experience. With 31 sites nestled under tall pines just a short stroll from the lakeshore, this loop feels quieter and more tucked away than its larger neighbor while still providing full access to the resort's amenities -- the beach, marina, restaurant, general store, and bike rentals are all within walking distance. The sites sit beneath a generous forest canopy that filters the Sierra sun and fills the air with the scent of warm pine needles. Whether you are setting up a tent for a long weekend or parking an RV for the week, you will find the combination of natural shade and lake proximity hard to beat. Mornings here start with birdsong and dappled light, and it takes only a few minutes on foot to reach the sand and clear turquoise water that define Tahoe's south shore. The paved bike path connects you to Fallen Leaf Lake and beyond, while Emerald Bay is a short drive or paddle away. Eagles Nest is perfectly suited for couples, smaller families, or anyone who appreciates a campground that balances easy access with a genuine sense of seclusion.
