Our Nature Nut Says:

D. L. Bliss Campground, located in D. L. Bliss State Park, is one of the most highly recommended campgrounds in southern Lake Tahoe. This campground is set in a forest adjacent to one of the lake's most beautiful stretches of shoreline. Although some magnificent waterfront sites are available, most sites are not located on the shores of the lake itself but rather are nestled inland a few hundred yards from the water.

Despite the fact that this is a relatively large campground (165 sites), it is well spaced and thus comfortable and roomy. Sites are quite big and most offer privacy, although summer months may get a bit crowded. Recreational opportunities in this area are abundant – swimming in the campground's beach, kayaking to picturesque Emerald Bay, and hiking the famous Rubicon Trail or the scenic trails to Eagle Falls and to the Balancing Rock are all some of the activities that you'll encounter on your D.L. Bliss journey.

D. L. Bliss Campground is open from May to September, weather permitting. It is set in a relatively high elevation of 6,200 feet so nights may get chilly. The campground is suitable for motorhomes up to 18 feet long. Facilities include potable water, showers, flush toilets, fire grills, picnic tables, and a dump station. Reservations for summer holidays and weekends are highly advised. D. L. Bliss State Park is located 17 miles south of Tahoe City on Highway 89, just a few miles north of Emerald Bay. Enjoy blissful days and cozy nights at the D.L. Bliss State Park!
