Amazing place. Service is great. Rooms are small but the cabins are a good size. No fridge or coffee machine in the small room. But kitchen and fridge and oven etc in the cabins.
Stayed a few times now. Staff is a bit grumpy and will not go out of their way to help with any needs. But the location and history of the place is hard to stay away.
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.

Room was great with a view of the lake, super cozy just wish the bed was a little firmer but can’t complain. Overall would stay again
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.
Nice getaway with restaurant, general store with breakfast and lunch options, ice cream shop and coffee shop on site. Nice beach access. No AC but would stay again
