Camping & RVs
"Semi-primitive" camping is on-site but space is limited. Reservations are recommended. If there is still space available on Friday before the race it will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. To make a
reservation call Cheryl at (304)259-5533. Camping at Tahoe will be charged on a per site basis instead of a per person basis. Each site (15x25 space) will be $40 which allows campers to camp from Wednesday night through Sunday night. The camping area is on pavement so you can't use tent pegs but the sites are clean an level. Hot showers will be available the entire time and a drinking water supply will be located at the showers. Also, plenty of port-o-lets will be placed near the campground entrance.

When entering the camping area you will see a pop-up tent. You must stop here before proceeding to the camping area. A GGP staff member will find your reservation, verify your information and give you a camping packet. Enclosed you’ll find: a paid receipt (to be displayed at your campsite at all times), camping rules and regulations and a complimentary trash bag. After you receive your packet, a GGP staff member will direct you to your assigned space.

RV parking: There's room for RV parking but there are no hook-ups of any kind. You will have to be self-contained. Fees for RVs will be charged per space, just like camping.
