If you bring a kayak or paddle board you can paddle just south towards Meeks Bay and tuck yourself into a number of smallish beaches if you want some privacy. When we have a weak winter and the lake level drops , you will have a very small 6-8 foot deep sandy beach area but we haven't had that for quite a few years. So the only thing you don't really get here is a big sandy beach but you do get a fantastic stretch of beautiful lake tahoe in a park like atmosphere with towering trees !!! Not too shabby!

Located on the West end of Lake Tahoe. Short walking distance to the lake on the other side of…read morehighway 89. Park is known for the presence of black bears. Did not encounter any! Come to think about it, probably was overly cautious having bear spray within reach. Visitors must comply to safety rules and prevention. Supposedly fragrant items (e.g. soap, shampoo, etc.) are highly attractive to bears. Our assigned site (number 76) sits at the beginning of the loop. Surrounded by neighbors on all sides except one. Nearest restroom and dumpster is just two sites away. Potable water is accessible in front of site 78. Bear storage are included at each site along with a picnic table and a fire ring. Camp host will make frequent runs around the loop with firewood available for purchase. There is a presence of carpenter ants but was not a nuisance. Experienced hot mid days and warm nights in the month of early August. Ideal and convenient for those looking to visit various parts of Lake Tahoe and even neighboring city of Reno.

We came here when it was 40 degrees outside but it still was beautiful here with a small hike that goes along the lake where you can take scenic pictures of the lake in the background. There are public bathrooms that are clean. Enjoy!

However, the beach itself is tiny and all rocks on the beach. I like the beach with sand more than just rocks! The water is like ice water cold as all the beaches in the Lake Tahoe area. Not bad if you're in the area and just found a place set down and relax. It is convincing and comfortable. The beach is very close to the William Kent Campground. It just crosses the street from the campground entrance. The parking lot just right next to the street and I have no problem finding a parking space both times when I am there. the restrooms are very close to the parking lot too.

It's a small gravelly beach in between Sunnyside Lodge and The Lake Tahoe Park Association Beach. Make sure to wear water shoes as walking on gravel hurts!

Bring beach chairs if you want to relax!

I loved it, but it's not for everyone. What I loved:…read more No RV's Very few campsites Campsites were spread out Site was 100% cleaned up from the last campers Running water near our site Bathrooms (one flushing with sink) Close to bike trail/lake/grocery store We went during the week in mid-summer - there was only 1 other camper there both nights (although several sites said they were reserved) What I did not care for (but it was still ok): You have to walk up stairs and a hill if you reserve sites 4-9. Traffic noise - mostly during the day - it dies down and night and did not disturb my sleep at all. Bathrooms are far - especially for middle of the night trips to the bathroom! You should know: The website map has the sites marked in the wrong locations - so I reserved a site that I would not have preferred. The lower sites are 1-3, they have views of the lake, close to bathrooms, but the most traffic noise. Sites 4 & 5 have decent views of the lake - they require walking up stairs and will still have more traffic noise. Site 7 has views of the lake through trees - close to the top of the stairs. Sites 6, 8 & 9 don't really have lake views - they are farthest from the road with the least traffic noise, but also have the furthest to haul your gear from your car.

I also love the Tahoe City Downtown Shops and Restaurants. I've had different experiences at this Campground, mostly great, so I'll keep coming again and again. It is located within a neighborhood, so some spaces are right next to people's backyards. However, the Campground has plenty of Pine trees and many of the homes are obstructed and can't really be seen from the sites. William Kent Campground Beach is also directly across the highway, perfect for watching the Sunrise or Sunset and there's a Market nearby to get coffee and other goodies.

We have camped here twice and had very close bear experiences both times.

The bear is completely immune to humans and walked right into our campsite within 8 feet of us without a care in the world.

Just bring your food and favorite beverages and enjoy preparing your meals in the modern and fully stocked kitchen. Or take a five-minute walk to the local pizza parlor for some of the best food Tahoe has to offer. If you forgot to bring something, the local market is only a short drive or a ten-minute walk. During the warm summer days you can relax on the deck while enjoying the serenity of the west shore, and when it gets chilly out you can cozy up inside with a roaring fire in the wood burning stove.

West Shore Sports even has a kayak rentals located at the park. The campground has large campsites, bear boxes, firepits, and paved parking pads. We also like the fact that there are restrooms with flushing toilets, mirrors and sinks. There are even some individual restrooms with more privacy if needed. A central shower facility is located within the camp and with multiple shower rooms operated by tokens you can purchase on site. With the tall pine trees this campground makes you feel like you are within the middle of the forest. In addition, you may experience bear sitings within camp. Be sure to keep all food products and anything with scent in the bear boxes. The bears do frequent the campground at all times of day.

The token machine takes $1, 5, 10 and I believe $20 dollar bills. Bears are active in the campground, so you must be diligent about keeping all food items and scented items inside your RV or locked in the bear locker. So much to do here. Bike, hike, swim, and kayak. We were here on July 4th. Park staff organized a parade for campers, which was fun.
