Chris Haven RV Park

Chris Haven RV Park

Chris Haven RV Park is a combined mobile home community and RV park at 2030 East Street in South Lake Tahoe, California, and it is the practical, no-frills option in the Tahoe basin. It suits RVers who want full hookups and year-round access without resort amenities, especially skiers who bring their rig for a week at Heavenly or Sierra-at-Tahoe when nearly every other campground is closed. Our Lake Tahoe guide describes it as honest in its presentation: a grid of paved streets behind a cedar security fence, closer to a residential neighborhood than a campground.

Why RVers stay here

The park has 108 paved full-hookup sites with water, electric and sewer, laundry and showers on-site, and a big-rig-friendly layout. Rates are about $85 a night, with weekly and monthly options, and booking is direct by phone only at (530) 541-1895. It is open year-round, and that is the key differentiator; in winter only Chris Haven and Tahoe Valley remain open for RVs. Winter stays require a rig built for sustained freezing at 6,200 feet, meaning insulated water lines, tank heaters and a reliable furnace. The trade-off is atmosphere: it is a short drive, not a walk, from the lake, and there is no campground feel.

Lake Tahoe RV Parks: Where to Camp on California's Alpine Jewel

Chris Haven is the option for RVers who want full hookups, year-round access, and do not need resort amenities. It is a combination mobile home community and RV park at 2030 East Street in South Lake Tahoe — honest in its presentation and practical in its purpose.

The park has 108 paved sites with full hookups. The layout is a grid of paved streets behind a cedar perimeter security fence. It is closer to a residential neighborhood than a campground, and that is exactly what some travelers want — a clean, level, fully serviced pad to plug into while they use Tahoe as their playground. Laundry and shower facilities are on-site.

The year-round operation is the key differentiator. When other campgrounds close for winter, Chris Haven stays open. For skiers who want to bring their rig to Tahoe for a week at Heavenly or Sierra-at-Tahoe, Chris Haven is one of very few options with hookups. Be aware that winter stays require a rig equipped for sustained freezing temperatures — insulated water lines, tank heaters, and a reliable furnace are non-negotiable at 6,200 feet in January.
