D.L. Bliss State Park

The Vitals - Camping, Hiking, Beach
Off Highway 89 North of Emerald Bay

If you like to spend time camping on Lake Tahoe, D.L Bliss is a must stop. The beachside area is walking distance (stairs) to a beautiful beach in a sheltered cove (Lester Beach). The hike along the beach to Rubicon Point or to the historic lighthouse provide scaringly stunning views of the lake as well as interesting rock formations. The campsites can be reserved through reserveamerica. Hot showers, flushing toilets, the whole nine yards. The spots in the beach area tend to be a little smaller and more cramped than the other areas. The other campgrounds are not really within walking distance of the beach (maybe with a towel only). If you are at the beach campsite, or even if you're not, you should make a point to get to the beach some day for the sunrise. If you are visiting after June you will need to take special precautions for yellow jackets (meat bees) which become a real problem from July till it's cold.
