Summer in Tahoe is a beautiful time; it is also however quite a busy time with traffic jams and full campgrounds. It can be a hectic and frustrating time in this picturesque place so many of us calls home. However there are many options to escape the busy summer season and enjoy a quieter piece of Tahoe. One such option also happens to be in one of the most beautiful places on the lake, Emerald Bay. While Emerald Bay receives its fair share of summer traffic, probably more than any other place on the lake, as the day turns to night many of the boats, cars, and tourists leave, leaving you secluded in the Emerald Bay boat-in campground.

Emerald Bay has two campgrounds within its State Park, a Boat-in campground, and Eagle Point campground. Unfortunately Eagle Point is closed for repairs during the summer of 2014, leaving the boat-in campground your only Emerald Bay camping option. Located on the north shore of the bay, the campground sits where the old Emerald Bay Resort once resided, and features 21 campsites on, or close to the water’s edge. With buoys for motorized boats, and a long sandy beach for Kayaks and other non-motorized boats, the boat-in campground is easily accessible by any boating means.

Nestled away from the busy traffic of highway 89, the Emerald Bay boat-in campground offers a rare slice of seclusion and quiet during Tahoe’s busy and beautiful summer months. Reservations can be made at reserveamerica.com, so even if you’re kayaking you don’t have to worry about faster boats taking your campsite. Check out the Emerald Bay Boat-in campground this summer for your own slice of Tahoe away from the hectic and busy crowds.
