Nevada State Beach

This was our first time at the Nevada State Beach campground. It's located in Zephyr Cover, NV (near the casinos) on the beautiful Lake Tahoe. 

We absolutely love Lake Tahoe. Prior to starting a family, my husband and I tent camped annually (sometimes more than once) at DL Bliss located just north of Emerald Bay. After having kids and investing in a trailer, we stopped going there because of the RV restrictions (Space is tight). Having a home away from home allows us to camp in comfort and enjoy the outdoors with our kids. 

Anyway, it's still a little cooler in May but the weather was great (no rain or snow). The sites are spacious and flat so it's perfect for bike rides with the kiddos.

There are plenty of shopping and casinos (if you like to gamble) nearby. If you forget anything, there's a Safeway right around the corner.

And the Beach.... the beach is just a few minutes walk. If you prefer to drive into the parking lot, there's a $7 fee. Some of the sites are really close to the beach so you can step out of your site, and you're there :)

The kids had so much fun exploring the outdoors and playing with the millions of pine cones fallen from the trees. Unfortunately, my 4 year old son was hit on the head by one falling off the tree... poor baby. He was alright. Went right back to playing after calming down.

I love that the fire pit is low. I was worried about the kids being close to it but as long as you keep an eye on the kiddos, all is good. The low fire pits are perfect for getting maximum heat.
