My Tahoe Rim Trail Campsites (and the Ones I’d Actually Recommend)

I spent six nights camping along the Tahoe Rim Trail — from Spooner Summit to Lake Aloha — and every site had its surprises. Some were unforgettable, others I’d skip next time. In this video, I’ll show you each campsite I used, which ones I’d actually recommend, and what I’d do differently on my next thru-hike of the TRT. If you’re planning your own Tahoe Rim Trail adventure, this will help you plan smarter, find the best campsites, and avoid the common pitfalls.
