D.L. Bliss State Park Campground Map — Lake Tahoe, California
Use this D.L. Bliss campground map to understand loop layout, restroom icons, water spigots, bear lockers, lake access points, and trail connections—nothing but the map and how to read it.
D.L. Bliss Campground Map Overview
The D.L. Bliss State Park campground map highlights multiple one-way loops tucked above Lake Tahoe’s west shore near Lester Beach and Calawee Cove. The map makes it easy to spot loop letters, site numbers, restroom icons, water spigots, and key trail links including the Rubicon Trail.
Loops & Layout
Loops branch off the park road and form semicircles of campsites beneath tall pines. Expect one-way traffic inside each loop; staying right will bring you around to the exit. Loops closest to the lake offer faster access to Lester Beach and the Rubicon Trail, while upper loops sit higher in the forest with a quieter feel.
- Lake-side loops: Quickest walk to the beach access points and Rubicon Trailheads.
- Upper loops: More shade/privacy; a touch farther from day-use parking and beach traffic.
- One-way flow: Plan turns ahead—use increasing site numbers to track progress through a loop.
Map Symbols & What They Mean
Look for these common icons while scanning the map:
- Restrooms: Building icons spaced across loops (typically near mid-loop junctions).
- Water Spigots: Faucet icons along loop edges and near restrooms.
- Bear Lockers: Box symbols near each site pad—use for all food/scented items.
- Trail Access: Connections to the Rubicon Trail and paths down to Lester Beach/Calawee Cove.
- Parking/Day Use: Markers near beach access—helpful for orientation when returning to camp.
Mobile tip: zoom until restroom and faucet icons are legible, then pan along road edges to follow site numbers in order.
Best Areas on the Map
- Near the lake access: Shortest walk to Lester Beach/Calawee Cove and Rubicon Trail views.
- Upper forest loops: Quieter feel, more shade, fewer passersby.
- Near mid-loop restrooms: Handy for families—use the restroom icon clusters as a landmark.
Choose your vibe by loop letter and site range; the icons make it easy to spot convenience vs. quiet.
Using the Map On-Site
Keep the map open on your phone or print a copy before arriving. At each junction, match the loop letter, follow one-way arrows, and track site numbers as they increase. Restroom icons are your best “you are here” reference—confirm position before committing to a turn.
