Every year, The Dyrt makes a list of the most difficult campgrounds to get into in the U.S. For the 2024 season, Nevada Beach Campground took the lead for the hardest-to-book.
According to The Dyrt, Nevada Beach Campground is booked for 99.4 percent of the year. Booking for sites opens six months in advance, and the spots are often swept up in minutes.
This campground is located on the shore of Lake Tahoe's beautiful Zephyr Cove. It is only open from May to October, which further increases the demand for its 54 campsites.
The campsites sit right on the water, are fairly spacious, and offer plenty of pleasant scenery. There is also a dog-friendly beach where your pets can play on the water.
At the campground, visitors have a half-mile of pleasant sandy beaches, where people can play, swim, and take in the view. There are also places to rent kayaks and eat.
