Family Friendly Lake Tahoe • Roamaroo Store
After tubing, we made our way to an igloo for some s’mores. Nestled in a cozy igloo near Stateline, we gathered around a fire pit to toast marshmallows and create the perfect s’mores — gooey, melty, and just sweet enough to make you forget about the chill in the air. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of snow-filled adventures.
The afternoon had us heading to Tipsy Putt, a playful mini-golf course in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Tipsy Putt mixes the game of mini-golf with a laid-back bar scene, making it a fun and unique experience for families. The course is full of quirky holes that had us all in fits of laughter — it’s impossible to take yourself too seriously here, and that’s the point. We spent a couple of hours playing and having fun.
Dinner that night was at Fox & Hound, a laid-back BBQ joint in South Lake Tahoe. There’s nothing like the smoky aroma of grilled meat after a day of adventure. We devoured racks of ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and all the classic BBQ sides.This is the kind of place that serves up food that tells a story. Comfort food at its finest.
Day 3: Exploring Basecamp Hotel and More Fun in Tahoe
On our final night, we switched gears and checked into Basecamp Hotel, a quirky, no-frills spot right in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. This place has a vibe that feels like a friend’s cabin — cozy, casual, and welcoming. If The Landing Resort & Spa was all about luxury and relaxation, Basecamp is about fun and being part of the action. The hotel’s location made it easy to pop in and out for a quick bite, or just to enjoy the outdoor fire pits.
Final Thoughts: Lake Tahoe, Beyond the Basics
Lake Tahoe isn’t just about hitting the slopes and taking in the views. It’s a place that invites you to jump in, challenge yourself, and take in the unexpected. Whether it’s a gondola ride up Heavenly Mountain, a horse-drawn sleigh ride through snow-covered forests, or tubing with your kids at breakneck speeds, this place delivers. But just as importantly, it delivers moments of stillness — sitting by the fire in an igloo or having a quiet dinner by the lake. It’s a mix of wild adventure and deep relaxation, and that balance? That’s what makes Lake Tahoe a place worth coming back to.
