Wrights Lake Campground — Hotel in South Lake Tahoe

Don't go here! You'll hate it! I love it, it's one of my happy places, so stay away. In all honesty, this is an amazing campground. The scenery is awe inspiring, if you like to kayak its a beautiful little lake with a wonderful surprise on the other side ( and keep an eye out for the eagle who likes to hang out on the east end of the lake). If you like to hike, there's plenty of hiking for all skill levels. We stay in the tent only camping, it's the best,but even the rv/trailer loop is good. I did have to drop a star because of Royal Elk management, the two hosts Joan and John (I think that's his name), aren't the easiest to deal with. Joan isn't bad, but John is pretty much a jerk (keeping it kid appropriate). He does a pretty good job of keeping the bathrooms clean (which is appreciated) but his campside manner ends there. He's about the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered camping. He wears earbuds listening to something while he talks at you, drives around the campground extremely fast on the golf cart so you can never catch up to him to 'interrupt' his work. Several times he would pull up to our campground and stare at us and our site, presumably to see if rules were being followed, but not even a hint of a smile nor a response to trying to talk to him before speeding off again. We've camped at a few campgrounds managed by Royal Elk and there people are rarely who I'd like to...

The camp is quaint and perty quite. The lake has alligators which could possibly effect the fishing negative. Small swimming area. Just be mindful of the gators. Jay and his son were the perfect personable and helpful hosts ever. There dog Brutus was a delightful character, the hunting season was a bit noisy and hectic. But the big foot camper society were awesome. Shower stayed hot but leaked alot and head was rigged but over all great quite repose for awhile when your traveling and between spots. And 20$ a night 10$ with parks pass....

1st time here. We stayed at #62 which was a big lot w plenty of space to pitch up tent. Big lot enough to play frisbee. We brought cornhole. Plenty of areas for fishing. 5 min walk to lake w beautiful landscapes. Smaller hiking trails along the lake (family friendly). Took a hike around the lake about 3 miles. Would definitely come back next time w rafts and inner tube...
