Caples Lake Resort Close to Tahoe, El Dorado National Forest

When I think of resort, I think of five star service, turned down bed sheets the whole nine yards.  Caples Lake Resort is not that kind of resort.  Think of it as roughing it with two ply toilet paper and style.  

Coming up from my hometown that is only 300ft above sea level to 8000 ft is quite a shock though once it wares off you get clean, crisp fresh air.   The lake is stunning.  Crisp blue waters draw you in but the combination of Evergreens and year around snowy mountains will make anyone feel relaxed and peaceful.
