William Kent Campground

What makes William Kent Campground stand out is its prime location on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, blending convenient lake access with the serenity of a forested environment. Offering both traditional campsites and yurts, the campground caters to a spectrum of camping preferences, while its proximity to Lake Tahoe’s iconic waters opens the door to abundant recreational opportunities.

Set amidst tall pine, cedar, and fir trees, William Kent Campground features 81 campsites, including spaces for tents, RVs, and three cozy yurts. Each site is equipped with essentials such as picnic tables, fire rings, grills, and bear-proof food lockers. The campground also boasts flush toilets, potable water, and a day-use area directly across the road with beach access, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. The surrounding terrain, with its shallow gullies and ridges, ensures a degree of privacy for many sites, though the campground’s placement near Highway 89 means some traffic noise is unavoidable.

Located just two miles south of Tahoe City, visitors have easy access to local eateries, supplies, and services. Outdoor enthusiasts are a short distance from popular trails like the Tahoe Rim Trail, mountain biking routes, and Emerald Bay State Park, all within a 30-minute drive. Whether you’re planning a lakeside adventure or a tranquil forest retreat, William Kent Campground serves as a versatile base for enjoying the natural splendor of Lake Tahoe.
