Kaspian Campground

Kaspian Campground is located on National Forest lands four miles south of Tahoe City, on Highway 89. The campground is operated under a special use permit by Tahoe Recreation, a Division of Vista Recreation. Campers are nestled in a mature forest of pine trees and evergreen shrubs just minutes from the bright blue water of Lake Tahoe. For reservations, visit www.recreation.gov.

The campground offers multiple single-family sites for tent-only camping. Sites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible flush toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided.

The campground is situated in a former picnic area, across the street from the lake. Campsites are spaced for privacy and surrounded by tall ponderosa pine and white fir trees. Some sites offer spectacular views of Lake Tahoe through the trees.

Kaspian Campground is ideal for visitors planning a full day of biking around Lake Tahoe. Bike trails that traverse the western shores of the lake begin near the campground. Visitors enjoy water sports on the lake and relax on its sandy beaches.

Current Conditions
Campfires (wood, charcoal or any other solid fuels) only permitted within permanent, iron fire rings when the campground is open.
