- Do Take The Rum Runner Cruise: You can tell all your friends, "I'm on a boat!", when you go on the Rum Runner Cruise. The famous beverage at Camp Richardson is the Rum Runner, an enticing mix of tropical juices and nectars (and alcohol!). You can purchase this and other drinks while you're on the one and a half hour cruise.
- Don't Miss Out On The Great Food: Get your fill of ice cream deliciousness at The Ice Cream Parlor. There's nothing better than that to cool you down on a hot summer's day. Grab lunch before you head out on your rental boat. Hit up the deli where you can get sandwiches to go and then bring them on the boat with you.
- Don't Skip School: Attend Sailing School, where you can learn how to take the wheel and maneuver your water vehicle through Lake Tahoe's beautiful blue waters.

A traditional Lake Tahoe camping experience
Now, this place has character, but don’t expect five star accommodations here. It’s one of those places that you stay if you really want that Lake Tahoe feel of staying in the woods, right on the water. It does have more of the outdoor camping feel, so if that’s not you then I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you do like that stuff, then this is the place to be.
There are a lot of different accommodation options when you stay at Camp Rich, but I think the best option -- for me at least -- is the motel. It’s literally feet away from the lake, just a few steps to the Beacon, the on-site restaurant and bar, and the motel rooms have extra amenities like TV that the cabins don’t. The cabins are more for straight up camping. It’s not really my thing, but I think if you’re into that, this would be the place in Lake Tahoe to do it.
Camp Rich has got a lot of character. It opened up back in 1928 and was one of the first places to stay on the lake. It’s kind of almost like it’s own compound. Besides all the cabins and rooms spread throughout the property, there’s also a cool general store and ice cream shop that will take you back in time. There’s a great venue for events too that overlooks the lake. Plus, the staff is extremely friendly at Camp Rich! They’re not uppity at all unlike some of chain hotels, and you can really tell they take a lot of pride into where they work.
If you plan on visiting Lake Tahoe in the summer and you’re looking for that outdoor vibe, then Camp Rich is definitely the place. It’s more than just a hotel, it’s a whole experience.
