Lake Tahoe Summer Guide

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Come explore the beauty and charm that Lake Tahoe has to offer! From sandy beaches, to towering pine trees, to snow-capped mountains - you could even discover a ghost or two.

Where to Stay in Lake Tahoe

The quintessential place to stay in Lake Tahoe is in a cabin, a rugged outdoorsy lodge, or sleeping underneath the stars at a campsite! You’ll find plenty of all three options in Lake Tahoe.

Camping in Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is such an incredible outdoor destination that it just makes sense to sleep underneath the stars. Some campsites, like our favorite at D.L. Bliss, book out early - so you'll want to reserve a spot well in advance.

Ski Resorts

For a whole new vantage point of Lake Tahoe, head to a ski resort! You can take a gondola right to the top of a mountain ridge, enjoying scenic views the whole way.

VISIT A NORWEGIAN CASTLE

Vikingsholm is a Norwegian-style castle on the shores of Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. And it’s got kind of a wild backstory…

Hit the Trails

Being situated in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountains, you’ve got endless vistas of mountains, alpine lakes, towering pines, and other things that make you ooh and ahh. Don’t go to Tahoe in the summer without hitting a trail!

RELAX ON THE BEACH

Lake Tahoe has 72 miles of shoreline, meaning lots of opportunities for great beaches. And yes, they are wonderfully warm and sandy!
