Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park, CA, United States

How to get to Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park

The park is 10 miles south of Tahoe City via Highway 89 on Lake Tahoe's west shore. Truckee lies approximately 25-30 miles northeast; Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is about 60 miles south with roughly a 1-hour drive to the park. Winter travelers must note that Highway 89 at Emerald Bay is subject to temporary closures during heavy snowfall December through April, and chains are required for all vehicles during winter months. All RVs over 32 feet should verify access before arrival, as the road has mountain restrictions and tight curves; the nearest fly-and-rent RV services are near Reno.

The best time for warm-weather RV camping is late June through August, when daytime highs reach 75-82°F and skies are clear. July is peak season with excellent lake recreation, though campgrounds fill quickly. Shoulder seasons (May and September) offer quieter camping with temperatures in the 60s-70s°F. Winter brings reliable snow and cross-country skiing but Highway 89 at Emerald Bay may close temporarily during heavy snowfall December through April, and chains are required.

Fred O. - Jul 2024

Denise and Andrew’s RV was excellent. It had everything we needed and more. This was our first time RV camping prior we did tent, van and pop up camper, and we greatly appreciated and loved this experience. Our family of 4 with two teens and a little pup were comfortable in the clean and beautiful space inside and out. We used the outdoor grill for all of our cooking needs. The shower and bathroom are spacious. Drop off and communication was friendly, patient and helpful. We enjoyed the Labor Day weekend in Zephyr Cove with the full hook up access We look forward to renting the RV again!
