Camp Richardson Resort, a beloved Lake Tahoe destination, transitioned camping and RV reservations to recreation.gov on November 1, streamlining the booking process for visitors to the 128-acre lakeside complex, as reported by Tahoe Daily Tribune. This new system offers a centralized platform for reservations within the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU).
ExplorUS, the hospitality management company overseeing Camp Richardson’s operations, has been actively investing in upgrades to enhance the guest experience. Last May, they completed significant renovations on the resort’s historic hotel, introducing new furnishings, hand-crafted wooden headboards for each guestroom, and a refreshed lobby featuring a coffee bar. These upgrades were part of an ongoing effort to honor the resort’s century-long history while catering to modern travelers.
The renovation efforts extend to the resort’s cabins, with plans for bath and kitchen upgrades, better furnishings, historic interior restorations, and porch improvements. The Grove, the resort’s popular lakeside restaurant, is set for a redesign, including kitchen expansion and upgraded dining areas.
In addition to accommodation upgrades, The Grove, Camp Richardson’s popular lakeside restaurant, is set for an exciting redesign. The project includes expanding the kitchen, enhancing indoor and outdoor dining areas, and adding new furnishings to create a more inviting ambiance for diners enjoying the scenic lake views.
Beyond its campgrounds and RV areas, Camp Richardson offers diverse lodging options, including a historic hotel, cozy cabins, a beachside inn, duplex units, and the Richardson House—a charming vacation rental perfect for larger groups. The resort continues to uphold specific fire and camping restrictions to prioritize guest safety and environmental conservation, particularly in the fire-prone Lake Tahoe area.
These enhancements aim to preserve Camp Richardson’s unique charm while embracing modern amenities, ensuring its continued appeal as a cherished destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts in the Lake Tahoe region.
