I remembered this campground from our church group campout, and I RV camped there in May 2007.
Describe your camping trip:
The campground is very nice with open spaces separated, but together. It was a very nice, quiet family park.
Pros: This campground caters to families, but has more private sites for couples. It's close to the events and activities of the Lake Tahoe area.
Cons: none
Nearby attractions: Lake Tahoe, casinos, 4-wheeler trails, hikes, bike rides, and lots of room to explore.
Further comments:
Camp Richardson was very nice. Somehow somebody used our credit card and they re-imbursed us and gave us a free weekend for the trouble. We really like the folks there, they cater to their people.

DANGEROUS CAMPGROUNDJuly 30, 2009By rmtrout
"We just got back from 3 nights at Camp Richardson in the campground. On the second night we were ""visited"" by 4 bears within a 4 hour period, rummaging in trash and neighboring coolers right in front of the campers. The bears were easily scared out of our campsite, but the last visitors were a mama bear and two cubs. Each campsite has a food locker and there are bear-resistant dumpsters by the bathrooms, but there are also regular push-lid trash cans by each bathroom door, which helped attract the bears. If anyone had gotten between mama and cubs at the bathrooms by accident it would have been very dangerous. Security agreed that this was a danger, but the trash cans remained the next night. The housekeeping people stated that everyone should just ""know"" not to put food in those cans. While I agree with others that this is a bare-bones campground with loud, drunken visitors and terrible facilities, I would NOT recommend this campground based on the lax bear precautions and attitude."
