If you're coming to camp by car, then you've got it easy! Camp is located at:
130 Fallen Leaf Rd.
South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
Plan to arrive any time between 2:00 PM & 6:00 PM. The drive takes about 4 hours from San Francisco and about 8.5 hours from Los Angeles.
If you're flying in to join us, we recommend that you fly into Reno airport (RNO) and aim to arrive between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. From the airport to Sierra Camp will take about 2 hours and can be done by shuttle service or by renting a car. If you take the shuttles, you will have to change from the South Tahoe Express to a Sierra Camp van at the California-Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe, which is roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes into the 2 hour trip.
The South Tahoe Express from Reno to the California-Nevada border costs about 30 dollars per person and reservations are required. You should get off the shuttle at Lakeside Inn and Casino, where a Sierra Camp van will pick you up. Book the Reno airport to South Lake Tahoe shuttle here.
The Sierra Camp van from Lakeside Inn and Casino to Camp will run as often as needed. Sierra Camp will consolidate shuttles, in order to minimize trips between Lakeside Inn and Camp. We appreciate your understanding if you end up having to wait for a short while at Lakeside Inn. To request a Camp van pick-up, please email Lauren Frankel at lefrank@stanford.edu. The van is big and red and will have a friendly person with a sign.
In the late fall, camp can have highs of 70 degrees and lows of 30. We recommend bringing something light and comfortable for daytime activities, but also something warm and cozy for the evenings.
