Lake Tahoe Vibes, None of the Crowds

Thought you knew all the best NorCal lakes? Stumpy Meadows Reservoir is the low-key spot you’ve been missing. Picture 40 chill campsites tucked in the pines, glassy water for kayaking and swimming, and zero Tahoe chaos. You can fish, hike, or just vibe by the campfire under a sky full of stars. Bonus: there’s a Gold Rush ghost town and gold-panning nearby for history nerds. Bring the kids, the dog, and your s’mores game—this place is pure camping bliss. #Travel #CampingCalifornia #HiddenGems
