Sugar Pine Point Sp General Creek Group Campground

About

General Creek Group Campground sits within Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park's 2,000 acres of dense pine, fir, aspen, and cedar forests along nearly two miles of Lake Tahoe shoreline. In October 2024, California State Parks officially renamed the campground to dukMéʔem wáta to honor the Washoe people's connection to this land. The campground provides 8 group sites that can accommodate between 16 and 100 campers depending on the site. Group camping facilities include six accessible restroom and shower buildings with flush toilets and coin-operated showers, potable water spigots, and an RV dump station available to registered campers. Each campsite is equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and bear-proof metal food storage lockers required by law. No electrical hookups are available. Firewood is sold at the entrance station; collecting downed wood is prohibited. The surrounding park offers exceptional recreation including swimming and paddling on Lake Tahoe, hiking and biking along General Creek and to mountain vistas, and tours of the historic Hellman-Ehrman Mansion from late May through September. Winter camping is available at a limited number of sites on a first-come, first-served basis.
