Top Carnelian Bay Hotel Reviews

Basecamp South Lake Tahoe

Basecamp South Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent
"The location was amazing! Perfect for walking to the casinos and the amphitheater!! A bit of a longer walk to the lake, but walkable. The staff were super nice and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire area by the front office and the courtyard area with live music, beverages and some games. There are two well kept hot tubs that we enjoyed. Especially the view from the smaller one. It’s a great motel! Clean, quiet and convenient! Seemed to be plenty of parking, though some are tight. They are not kidding about the Tahoe bear! Take care of your food and trash. The restaurant in the lobby was so convenient for coffee and a quick breakfast."
