Hello all! Planning the Tahoe getaway and getting excited! We have a couple choices to make. We can go end of May/beg. of June for up to two weeks or mid June but we can only go for 6N/7days-and really, we'd be driving all day on either end (10 hours) so only 5 days of fun. The other thing is the gondola will not be operational until mid June but I looked that up and it is ridiculously expensive! 100.00 for our family of four! Is it really worth it?
We are looking at Tahoe Valley RV resort as it has f/h, pool for the kids, playground etc....DH likes a full service campground. Doesn't want the kids to get bored! Lol!
Would love to hear opinions. thanks in advance!

No, the Heavenly Gondola is not worth $100.00 IMO. Drive to the top of Kingsbury Grade for a very similar view of the lake, plus a view of the Carson Valley. Not sure what to tell you about the RV parks on the South Shore, too close to home to consider staying at for us, so no reviews from me. I have read good things on this site of Tahoe Valley, so I think you are on the right track.
If you want to dry camp, I would recommend Fallen Leaf Campground.

Our kids really liked the river rafting down the Truckee river. There are two companies running from TAhoe City, (north shore). We used Truckee River Rafting Co You rent large rafts and run down the flatter portion. You can take as long as you want, stop along the way and let the kids play in the water etc. Now, I understand you're going in June so the water may be too cold, but it is still a lot of fun.

Yes, yes. That is what I meant! I am totally looking forward to the river floating! I think the kids will love it and when they are older we'll attempt the white water portion.

Thank you for the road recommendation! I was thinking that at 50.00 an adult and I think 30.00 for kids they better include some valium for the sticker shock!

They will love it!!! Mine were 9 and 7 when we went. It's just enough at some places to get ya going, then you just float along...
