Despite being in the shadow of a couple huge casinos on the Nevada side of the state line, Basecamp is a wonderful hotel that treats its guests very well. They carry the basecamp theme through all their graphics, but the place is very comfortable. It has a sense of fun in its decorations, but they are serious about your comfort.... More

Just got back from our stay at Base Camp and wanted to write a review because we really loved this hotel. The place has great style and a really sweet staff. Our room was really fun and right next door to the casinos. They fed us a delicious breakfast in the morning and gave us tips on where to go... More

Stayed 3 nights in March, '13. Cute place but on balance overhyped. No bathtub, bathroom floor is FREEZING, two pillows only on bed, uneven wireless service, no frig, very small room, ancient and loud wall heater, very marginal "breakfast." I expect a little more for $159 a night.

Basecamp is simply a great little hotel gem in South Lake Tahoe. As everyone else mentioned the renovation is beautiful and I even found myself taking photos of the room and colors to remember for my next home project. Very modern and warm. The staff was great, extremely accommodating, and very welcoming of our pup. We loved our stay!

The exterior is somewhat unusual, however, it does not prepare you for what you will find in the lobby and the rooms. It is a hotel that started as a somewhat standard motel and was renovated top-to-bottom to a uniquely attractive hotel. Two couples own the facility and the wife of one is an interior designer and she has done... More

This place is Eco friendly chic. From the delicious quality breakfast, to the room keys, to their simple yet modern decor, to the rooftop hot tub, everything is a 10/10!

Stayed at Basecamp for 3 nights with my 2 kids and they had an awesome time!! We had the queen room with the bunkbeds and everyone had their own bed. It was so nice to be able to spread out! It was a very short distance to the casino and major shopping and the ski lifts...just across the street. Breakfast... More

With a special rate and a special friend, I recently spent 2 nights at this hotel - it is practically ON "Stateline" in South Lake Tahoe, minutes to walk either into Gambling Hotels in Nevada or shops and restaurants in the nicely upgraded new town center. The room looked as if it was remodeled recently - very clean, 2 very... More
