ARRIVAL

1:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Flying

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.

driving

Camp's address is 130 Fallen Leaf Road. If you're coming from San Francisco, we recommend that you give yourself about 4 hours.

Checking In

Stop by the front office when you arrive. They'll give you a room key, welcome basket, and a smile! The next few hours are yours to explore camp.

The trip back to Reno Airport will be the reverse of the trip to camp. First, a Sierra Camp van will take you to MontBleu Casino. Then, you will take the South Tahoe Express from MontBleu Casino to Reno Airport. The entire trip will take you about 2 hours.

When you arrive at Camp, please speak to the office to schedule a van that will take you to the shuttle departure at MontBleu Casino. Unfortunately, Sierra Camp will not be able to run shuttles before 6:00 AM, but they can help you find a taxi, if you have a particularly early flight. See below for the MontBleu to Reno shuttle schedule:

If you're driving, you can leave whenever you'd like. We highly recommend sticking around until brunch, which starts at 9:30 AM. There's a waffle bar.
