Emerald Bay State Park features two campgrounds, one for drive-in visitors called Eagle Point Campground and the other for those boating in. It’s worth getting your hands on a boat for the access to and views of the latter, which opens each year on Memorial Day weekend. The area, located in Tahoe, California, is notable as Emerald Bay is technically an underwater state park thanks to all the boats and artifacts that have sunk in its depths. It’s also insanely beautiful and very popular, so you’ll want to reserve your campsite ahead of time online. Learn More Here
