The location was great, it was in front of the lake, very beautiful. The room itself was one that none of us wanted to stay in again. The bed was shaky, and it barely had amenities, such as no microwave. Plus staff was too busy to accommodate the kids Camp, and always had to wait. When we asked new towel, the staff told me come back in another hour, but we were about to go to the hot tub, so we needed them at that moment, plus the front desk was far, so we needed to drive there… if they are so busy with the camp, why don't they hire extra stuff to deal with…

The room was clean and comfortable and check in was friendly. I loved the lobby! There's a fireplace and it feels like a cozy ski lodge. The only downside was that it was a bit loud because all the hallways are wood, so sound echoes. The other guests were not too loud, but I could hear people coming and going.

The place was immaculate. We arrived to check in just before 6 pm. Nobody was at the front desk and there was a note that someone would return at 6:15. When the girl arrived, she was rushed, made excuses for not being there and did not have a pleasant attitude. I didnt even have to express my annoyance that we had to wait because she was already making excuses.

Probably the best part of the stay was the friendly staff and the Big Bear breakfast burritos. I stayed at the Beachside Inn which was nice since I had easy access to the long dock, which allowed me to get on the water without being in the water. Staying right on the lakeshore provided amazing photo opportunities in the early morning.

I cancelled the reservation 2 months in advance. They did not give a complete refund, only 1/2. Any other facility gives full refund with that much notice. This is not good!

Epic year

Ive been coming to Camp Rich for 68 years. Ive stayed in many cabins from Nash to Fleetwood. to the Marina Duplex and my favorite, Buick, to camping and the lodge. Im not happy about the new registration policy, as we'd been coming the last 2 weeks in July as a family with a group. This year we came in August. (Which is fine with me- i like being in Tahoe in August), but nexr year its around July 4th. Not thrilled with that. However, Camp Rich is a very special place fir my family. Our group is now on the 4th generation (in my family it is the 5th generation), so it is a tradition. And this year i had a blast. I have no complaints about the service or accommodations. I know what im getting when i come here. I stayed in Nash with my son's family for 2 days and despite the small shower, i spent so little time inside, i was just happy to be here. And this year my sister, who lives in Maine, and i havent seen her in 24 years, plus the 50 year anniversary of our Margaritta party, made this an especialkt epic summer at Camp Rich.

The area is beautiful and provides easy access to the lake and mountain activities. The issue is with the facility itself. Four night stay with only one of those providing hot water. Cold showers aren’t the end of the world but I expected more. The hotel has no a/c services so you hope having wide open windows would bring in some cool air. Unfortunately, the room would get really hot during the day and didn’t really cool down until after 10 pm each night. Perhaps the idea was hot rooms and cold showers would balance each other out. If that’s not your idea of a good time then definitely look elsewhere.

1st of all, there are no air conditioner in the room , they provide small fan which is hard to get in straight, Wi-Fi sucks, no hot water, no phone line to connect with employees, no room cleaner. It’s a terrible experienced in the hotel.
