Meeks Bay Resort

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

NO PETS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE AT THE RESORT. Meeks Bay Resort has a long tradition as a family vacation and holiday retreat. It is located on the western shore of the famed Lake Tahoe (Da ow aga), far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Washoe Tribe has been a part of the Meeks Bay area for many millenium, and their link to the land is an important part of the resort's charm. Enjoy the sandy Meeks Bay beach, or rent a kayak or paddle board and venture out onto blue waters. Explore the hiking trails that lead both north and south along the lake as well as the Meeks Bay Trail, which climbs into the Sierra Nevada Desolation Wilderness Area to Phipps Pass and beyond. Meeks Bay Campground is now an integral part of the Meeks Bay Resort. Enthusiasts will find hundreds of miles of trails to hike, bike, and ride horseback. The resort provides sunbathing, beach play, swimming, and scuba diving, and kayaks and paddle boards can be rented onsite. While motorized craft are not allowed in the bay, boating and water skiing are readily accessible elsewhere on Lake Tahoe. Anglers can land the big one at dozens of spots — Kokanee salmon and mackinaw, rainbow, Lahontan Cutthroat and brown trout are found throughout the area, and the Washoe Tribe has actively helped improve the population of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout (Ɂímgi). Lodging runs from the historic Kehlet Mansion — seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full size kitchen, private deck, picture windows and a full event area — to the Washoe House, also known as the Point House, with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a separate studio cabin on the south shore of the bay. There are also 12 lodges and 7 standalone cabins in studio, one and two bedroom floorplans, all with kitchens stocked with utensils and cookware. Camping includes 14 non-electric campsites for tents and small pop-up trailers north of Meeks Creek, 40 non-electric sites on the southern side, and 23 RV sites with full hookups on the northern side, several of them pull-through and able to accommodate up to 60 feet of tow vehicle and RV. The Wa She Shu Grill offers a great selection of lunch meals and snacks from 11:00am to 3:30pm daily, and the General Store is open every day from 8:00am to 8:00pm with clothing, souvenirs, firewood, ice, snacks, beverages, coffee, ice cream and sundries. Hot private shower facilities are available with purchase of tokens from the general store, and several public restrooms with flush toilets are available. Meeks Bay (mayála wáťa) sits at a 6,225-foot elevation and is surrounded by many of Lake Tahoe's most famous attractions: snow covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada, forested mountainsides, green meadows, miles of pristine shoreline, and impressive granite boulders. Don't miss the spectacular views of De ek Wadapush (Cave Rock) across the lake from the beach. The more adventurous hiker can traverse the Tahoe Rim Trail, or venture deep into the Desolation Wilderness to Phipps Pass from the Meeks Bay Trailhead. Also nearby are South Lake Tahoe, the casinos and shops at Stateline, NV, boat tours of the lake, Emerald Bay State Park and the Vikingsholm Castle, D.L. Bliss State Park, and Tahoe City to the north.
