Centrally located . Eco friendly property. Clean room and bathroom. No balcony in a double queen room., but looks like other rooms had it. The new renovation or may be the cleaning supplies leave a real pungent smell in the room. Not a foul smell but really strong varnish kind. But you get habituated after a while. Could have smelled better.

Nice stay
We stayed here during a cheer competition. Clean, and easy check in. Walking distance to the other hotels and heavenly village. Our room was above their coffee shop so the first morning we heard everything below us, which I accidently thought it was the room next to us banging. They have a text option when needing to get in touch with them, which made things very easy, and they were very quick to respond. There wasn't an elevator so if you have issues with stairs you will need to request a bottom floor room. My husband and I would stay here again for the price.

We had a lovely stay at Basecamp. The staff was friendly, room was clean, and price was amazing. The location is perfect, as you can walk to many restaurants and to the Heavenly gondola. The walls are very thin so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise it was great for our family!

Base Camp is a really fun place to stay in South Lake Tahoe. Not only affordable rates, but quite unique with its outdoor courtyard (two fire pits, and large hot tub) a cozy lobby (with rooftop hot tub) and Base Camp Beer Garden! Shopping, restaurants and bars all within walking distance.
