LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. - The majority of National Forest recreation sites around the Tahoe Basin are now open and the 2021 season promises to be a busy one for Tahoe Recreation, the new concessionaire for many of the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit’s (LTBMU) popular campgrounds and day-use sites.

On Wednesday, a local resident said they went to buy the annual pass at Baldwin Beach but was told they weren t available this year due to a new vendor on site. Another resident tried the same at Nevada Beach but was sent away with the message the passes were not available for summer 2021.
Lisa Heron, spokesperson for the U.S. Forest Service - Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit said the $85 passes will be available and is not sure why the public was told differently.
There is a change though which may be the cause of the confusion. There is no longer a senior discount of 50 percent off the pass. America the Beautiful Access pass holders get 50 percent off the daily entry of $10, so $5 each. Another change is the sticker received must be affixed to the vehicle s windshield.
