Meeks Bay 

Meeks Bay Campground sits just across the marina from Meeks Bay Resort. Since it is a USFS campground it is lacking in some of the amenities of it's neighbor. However, all those amenities sit just a short swim or float across the channel that separates the two beaches. It is less expensive and much easier to reserve than the resort campground, however. While the beach is somewhat less groomed, the water is every bit as clear, the clearest in Tahoe by my view. The camp sites offer a little more in the way of privacy as compared to the Resort, where they are packed pretty dense. There is not much in the way of RV camping here as there is only one spot longer than 20 feet (likely taken by host). There are a number of tent only spots as well. The season generally runs from mid May through mid October. Dogs are allowed at the campground, but not the beach.
