Hey, I'm Cameron. Hotel GM turned Tahoe local.

After years in the hospitality industry, I moved to South Lake Tahoe and fell in love with this place. But I noticed something: most travel guides are written by people who don't actually live here. They miss the spots that locals actually go to, the timing tricks that save you from crowds, and the real insider knowledge that makes a trip special.

That's why I started Local Reserve. This is the guide I wish I had when I first moved here. It's honest, practical, and written by someone who actually lives and works in Tahoe.

You'll find curated recommendations for hotels, restaurants, trails, and events—all with real tips from someone who's been there. No hype, no pay-to-play nonsense. Just honest recommendations from a local who wants you to have the best Tahoe experience possible.

Sponsored content is always clearly labeled. Everything else is just stuff I genuinely think is worth your time.
