nice place to stay just outside Truckee
Boca Springs is a great little alternative to the other nearby sites on the reservoir (which is currently low while under construction). The water from the natural spring is cold and delicious!
Quiet away from the crowd
The road in is an easy drive but the campground road itself is very rocky
