Not great. Not what I expected.
Pros:

I dont get why some families have rated this highly. The small pool and hot tub were dirty. The room was small, kind of dingy, and the shower was super small with a shower head that was completely not adjustable. After a hard day navigating South Lake Tahoe, it didn't provide a relaxing shower experience. We had 2 queens and they were not particularly comfortable for 2 adults in one bed. I felt the service was OK, but nothing special. Orange juice at the little coffee shop was $9 before tax and tip for a 16 oz. I know we're in trumpflation times, but this was kind of nuts. No other offerings for juices for the kids, except more expensive juice mixes.

Some of the images on the hotel profile are misleading and ought to be removed. The center area for hanging out and games is not green grass, but wood chips. It didn't feel well kept and didnt have much for kids. Overall, the premise felt a little worn and tired. We stayed in a second floor room and there was some weird, unpleasant smell in our hallway.

There isn't close, walkable access to public beaches, but you can pay 10$ a person to go to the one closest. So if you want to stay here for good beach access, there might be better places to stay.

The best thing about it was there were ev chargers on site.

Love the place
Pros:

Its clean and quiet

Cons:

The Beer Olympics were held on Sunday afternoon! We travel from Sacramento to see them so that doesn't leave us much time to stay and watch. Please move them to Saturday afternoon! Otherwise great spot, great location.

Base camp- simple and clean
Pros:

Location was good. Walking distance to casino and heavenly village was very easy! Beer garden on site gave it a friendly vibe! Live music was also great!
As a added bonus , the hotel provided a handy guide with recommendations on everything from hiking trains, restaurants, beaches etc

Cons:

Add chairs to the room. Only having a desk chair and a bed is not sufficient seating!!! Thankfully we had a balcony with 2 chairs to use. If it had been snowing we would only have the bed to sit on! Not comfortable to drink your morning coffee on!!

Pros:

I liked the location. The bed was very comfortable. The room was overall well put together. We loved the deck.

Cons:

The shower head did leak sideways outside the shower onto the floor if it wasnt positioned correctly and the door condensation leaked onto the floor so the bathroom floor was pretty soaked after our showers.

The visit wasn’t the best like I’ve had in the past at Basecamp.
Pros:

The location, how nice the staff was & the hotel itself was cute

Cons:

Our bed had random hair in the sheets and pillows, the carpet was not cleaned and also the bed we stayed in was not comfortable like the other ones we’ve stayed in at Basecamp. I have stayed here a few times with no complaints, however this last visit wasn’t like my previous ones.

Geweldige plek bij Lake Tahoe
Pros:

Ontzettend leuke plek om tot rust te komen. We kregen een upgrade naar kamer met balkon. Er zit een leuk ontbijtplekje in de lobby van het hotel (OK prijs voor die plek). Op het terrein is een brouwerij, kan je lekker eten (verse broodjes en fingerfood) en de middag/avond is er (live) muziek. De kamer zelf was prima qua formaat, badkamer leek vrij recent opgeknapt en heerlijk bed. Het is ongeveer 10 minuutjes lopen naar het meer.

Cons:

Onze kamer was direct bij de muziek en dit gaat door tot +/- 22:00 uur, dus gezinnen met kleine kinderen kunnen beter aan de andere kant van het terrein verblijven.
