Now is the time to make vacation plans, especially in North Lake Tahoe, where the week of July 4th books up in the Spring, leaving stragglers car camping and couch surfing. The extra planning is worth it. The Firelite Lodge in Tahoe Vista is always a good choice. Cabins and houses go for high-season rates during 4th of July week but can still be economical, especially if you have pets, children, or a larger group and plan to do your own grilling and cooking.
