Camp Richardson is a true historic Lake Tahoe treasure. The property is very family friendly from the beautiful beachfront to rustic cabins to walkable paths to bike rentals to a sweet ice cream coffee parlor as well as a well equipped General Store with convenient eatery. The cabins are truly no frills rustic, but equipped with the basics. The Historic Hotel is comfortable with clean rooms and a cozy lodge lobby. This was our families fourth summer enjoying a Lake Tahoe vacation. The kids love Camp Richardson for beach and proximity to exploring outdoors, so looks like we’ll be booking our 5th soon.

In the trees walkable to beach and to the restaurant. Restaurant had wonderful views of the lake. Several walkable trails from the hotel.

8/10 Good

The location is amazing. Our room was facing the lake and conveniently next to the Grove restaurant. Room was basic but clean and the bed was very comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are a lot of options on your doorstep for activities.
Julian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe during my stay. The location was great, the staff was friendly, my room at the hotel was decently sized with a big closet, and private bathroom. The bed was a little too firm for my liking but it was acceptable. I had a street facing room and had my windows open at night. I did wake up quite a bit due to traffic noise. Other than that, it was a comfortable stay and I would stay here again.

Simple, bare bones and charming

It was a very cute hotel. Cozy and quiet. Not great if you’re bringing a family. Also, no tv, or microwave. Very basic.

Loved everything about this property, only wished the coffee shop was open.
Shahanna, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The carpet in our unit 103 was so filthy that my feet or socks were black if I dared walk like that. It’s next to the housekeepers closet and for 5 days we had to hear them open and slam the door at 6 am plus yapping loudly! This morning we woke up at 5 am with some kind of varmit crawling thur our bags. No idea how it got in or out. And $900 for a dump like this is insane. The parking lot is dangerous with big holes and uneven service on the entire thing. Anyone over 55 should not stay here. I let the front desk know about the room and she’s a college kid most likely so that went nowhere. I’ve been a therapist for 3O yrs and would go to companies, homes and businesses to evaluate their safety standard and this place would rate needing serious changes. I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t been hurt and sued them!!

It was clean and easy going
Omar, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property is great, it is secluded and in a beautiful part of Lake Tahoe. The lakefront is stunning, great views. The staff at the resort are a bit lacklustre. In the two days we were there we asked for a hair dryer, did not receive one. Also, the towels weren't changed and the bed was not made up when we came back in the evening on the second day. Overall nice, clean place to stay. Service leaves a lot to be desired.
