Clean and Comfortable

Great stay for the price! Clean and comfortable.
Douglas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love this place. I always come here. I’m a local in Reno and I’ve always been happy. It’s great that you don’t have to drive anywhere. You could walk to all the restaurants as well. Staff is so friendly. The rooms are super cute and it’s quiet.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved my stay at Basecamp in Tahoe City! The front desk was very helpful and friendly and I loved being able to hangout with a beer a meet some of the other guests staying there. Perfect for people who are into recreation and looking for a community while they are staying in Tahoe.

I liked everything, but the staff in the lobby really made me feel welcome and I’d stay here again with zero hesitation
Victor, 1-night trip

Easy solo stay

Stayed one night on a solo trip. Service was friendly and accommodations comfortable. Would recommend!
Karah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Base camp hotels are ok, remodeled 60/70’s roadside motels. I would say they always lack insulation between the rooms, so it is noisy.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay so much. Perfect space for outdoor loving sports minded people. Easy communication through texts made me feel welcome and in touch. Very thoughtfully appointed decor and ceiling fan and great shower. Cannot wait to return.
Amelia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed 3 nights on a ski trip. Great location with a grocery store across the street, lots of restaurants within walking distance, and 10-15 minute drive to the mountain. Perfect for our needs.
Laura, 4-night trip

Base camp has all the bases covered.

Base camp is always fantastic.

Good place to stay
Miguel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good basic motel accommodation. Recently remodeled to a “campy” style. Wool blanket bed cover was a cool touch
Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed Basecamp overall. I've been to the South Tahoe location before, so this time I decided to try Tahoe City. The service was just as excellent. I was a bit disappointed that this location doesn’t have a café like the South Tahoe one, and in mid-April, breakfast and brunch options nearby are pretty limited. Still, it’s a great time to visit if you’re looking for some quiet time and want to enjoy the beautiful views — the trail to see the entire Lake Tahoe is within walking distance.
Li-Chen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second stay at Basecamp. It has a very charming vibe with a wonderful lobby and exterior fire pits to hang out at in the evening. A little more attention to minor details would make this place a lot cooler. (on our first stay, we enjoyed beers at night in the bar/lobby. Good vibes. This time the music was so lame, we went down the road to spend our time.) With that said, the staff was very nice. The beds and rooms are very comfortable and the price is excellent.
Gregory, 2-night trip

Decent remodel of a older hotel/motel.

10/10 Exceptional

Great pick

Great setup all-around, and really wasn’t expecting the lobby to be so great- couches, fireplace, games, drinks on tap, s’mores and firepits. Definitely would come back next visit.
