(reviews) A well-rounded campground in South Lake Tahoe welcoming both RV travelers and tent campers for a classic outdoor getaway. Lake Tahoe's crown jewel featuring the historic Vikingsholm castle, Fannette Island, and spectacular alpine camping. Emerald Bay State Park is a 1,533-acre park featuring Lake Tahoe's only island (Fannette Island), the historic Scandinavian-style Vikingsholm mansion, and stunning views of the Sierra Nevada. The park offers two distinct camping experiences: the drive-in Eagle Point Campground on a peninsula overlooking the lake, and a boat-in only campground for a more secluded stay along the north shore. ### Site Types Available Standard Boat-in Tent Only #### For Your RV ##### Camping Types RV Sites Tent Sites ##### RV Specifications Up to 18 ft EV Charging #### Rules & Policies Allowed Pets Dogs are not allowed on land, beaches, dirt trails, or service roads into Emerald Bay, nor at Boat Camp or Vikingsholm.
