Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park

A peaceful retreat along Lake Tahoe’s western shore, the Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park Campground combines rich history, stunning natural landscapes, and year-round outdoor adventure.

Just minutes from the lake, the campground offers access to sandy beaches and the historic Hellman-Ehrman Mansion, a turn-of-the-century estate available for seasonal guided tours. Winter transforms the park into a Nordic wonderland with over 20 kilometers of marked cross-country ski trails.
