Why Camp Richardson for South Lake Tahoe Boating?
Camp Richardson is one of the coolest spots in South Lake Tahoe. Perched on the lake’s south shore, this heritage resort has become a household name for its clear beaches, cozy marina, vintage cabins, hikers’ and bikers’ trails, and unstoppable summer vibes. You can definitely drive to Camp Richardson, but getting there by water brings an altogether different experience during your Tahoe adventure. Charter your own private boat to join the party, dropping you right at the action, avoiding the masses in the large parking lots/ the walk, and making the travel to the party, a party!
