Nothing like being taken out of civilization and placed in the middle of alpine trees and in front of a huge crystal blue lake. Camping in Tahoe is definitely worth it in every way. There are plenty of State Parks and Resorts to venture out to and live like Survivor Man, or you could just camp normally too. Here is a listing of all camp sites in South Lake Tahoe. Try not to get eaten by bears.
Also, here is some contact info for the US forest Service.

Hi this is great can you recommend one that will take a RV and is close to the ski fields? We are coming over from Australia late November. Thanks so much and have a great day.

Camp Richardson would be a great place to take an RV and Fallen Leaf Lake, they’re both close to the backcountry area, like Mount Tallac.

Tahoe Valley Campground~is a great place to go. We have been there with our travel trailer and have great service. Our son has taken our trailer up there as well during ski season and really liked it as well. The Italian resturant just down the road has great food as well.
