Whether it’s adventure or relaxation you seek, you can find it not far from the original Basecamp Hotel in South Lake Tahoe. Located just a few minutes’ walk from the lake’s edge or the Heavenly Gondola, this affordable, group-friendly crash pad offers 73 handicap-accessible guest rooms within stumbling distance of an on-site beer garden with live music every night. You’ll find secure places to lock up your skis or snowboard, leaving more space for your four-legged friend in the designated pet-friendly rooms. The hotel welcomes pets without breaking the bank. They charge a one-time pet fee per visit of $40 plus tax and dogs are welcome in select rooms and the hotel’s common areas, which include fire pits, a rooftop deck, and a courtyard with ping pong and lawn games. The motel also has an outdoor beer garden and live music nightly.
