30 amp, Back in, Water, Electric, Picnic Table, BBQ Grill, Sewer (limited availability), Cable (limited availability). They have a strict policy of NO MORE than 6 people allowed per site. (Just a heads up, these sites are fairly small, but they do have hook ups, and they're nice sites.)
One RV or Tent Trailer, one tent, and one passenger vehicle are allowed. No cargo trailers.
Note:
We will be utilizing the campground's Standard Group Site 2 this year. All tent campers will be staying in this same location. Every RV site will be in Area A, which is the loop next to the group campsite.
Please note, this year you will be able to select which dates you're attending the campout within the same registration form; however, we hope you will stay the entire duration.
Also, if you plan to book more than one site, please register each of them separately and Include the names of EVERYONE attending (along with the birth dates of anyone 18 and younger).
We are still asking for a $15 donation per child (max of $50 per family) to help offset the costs for the crafts and activities. However, if you are able to donate more under the Optional Tax Deductible Donation section, it would be much appreciated.

Campground-specific General Policies and Guidelines
If you would like to stay in an RV Trailer, but don't own one yourself, there is a company in Lake Tahoe that rents them out. It's pretty cool... they actually bring the RV Trailer to your campground and set everything up for you. If you're interested, don't wait long to make your reservation. There is a large chance they will sell out. They offer all sizes.
*NOTE* The B.E.S.T Board is committed to following the CDC guidelines that will be in effect at the time of the 2025 campout at Lake Tahoe. While want everyone to attend, please stay home if you are sick. We do have campers with lower immune systems. Thank you for your support in this endeavor.
