Very friendly staff. Easy access to beach and cozy lobby with free coffee and tea.
Very quaint facility. Clean. Serenity. General store is convinient & food is cooked fresh after order. On the beach of Lake Tahoe. Great location from Tahoe Valley
Loved the free cookies at the front desk. Very quiet and the rooms were very well insulated. Perfect for the winter! Only complaint is no onsite washers and dryers as well as no microwaves. Other than that, very affordable and quaint for family and friends
Loved everything about this property, only wished the coffee shop was open.

A good surprise!
We loved this space, it is definitely more camp vibes than a hotel, which kind of surprised us but as long as you dont mind that, it is a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay here again! Their hot water is quick and lasts a long time so no worries about that if thats you least favorite part of camping like me :) it was just far enough from town and an easy, quick walk to the lake!
I ended up leaving a day early. I came to rest and they were setting up for Oktoberfest so the noise during the day was a lot. They were dropping tent poles and yelling. Room was small, the refrigerator was small and there was no TV. I would have stayed had it not been for all the noise.
It was great hotel. Enjoyed our stay. Especially having the lake so close. Relaxing sitting by the lake. We will return. First time staying at Camp Richardson.
