Boca Rest Campground

When we camped here in July 2018, the road over Boca Dam was closed, and the detour directions were very confusing. After driving over miles of unpaved and poorly marked roads, we finally arrived. It was worth it. The lake is a beautiful shade of blue, and there is a sweet smell of pine in the air. The views from our campsite were amazing. Boating and fishing are permitted, and families with young kids were paddling around the shallows on inflatable rafts. There is no drinking water. The vault toilets were clean and maintained. The campground host was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful lakeside camping in Tahoe National Forest

My family and I have camped at Boca Resivior while living in Truckee for 15 years. It’s a well kept locals secret, leading to flat waters and many undisturbed camping nights.

The campgrounds is just about half a mile from the boat ramp.

Lakeside Camping

Beautiful campground not on top of anyone no amenities but great recreation and fishing. Pit toilettes only.

Awesome 

Nice campsite. They are a little  close to other campers but still nice. Lake was right down the hill. Bathrooms are close if you are tent camping. Very limited cell service. Camp host wad very nice and accessible. Would camp there again 😊

Boca Rest Campground 

really great stay! the lake is a great swimming temp in june, the views are gorgeous, and there’s plenty of trees and shade. i was lucky to have the spot i was in because there was plenty of foliage to keep my site fairly private. only downside is that the campground is close to the road- it wasn’t particularly busy but you hear it every time a car is coming down the road. other than that, a great spot to camp for a bit of peace and quiet or to break up your drive on your way to another destination 

quiet, peaceful, excellent stay

The site is pretty quiet. The vault toilets were actually fine, no hesitation using them and a there is a water spigot. Lake is calm, but it was too windy to set up the tent. Overnight temps in the 30's for Memorial weekend. Few trees, little shade. Lots of off road vehicles and RVs, but not a lot of noise from them. 

Lovely but windy

Beautiful campsite right next to the water. Vault bathrooms were clean. Lots of RV sites and fairly busy campground. People were respectful of quiet hours. 

Beautiful Family Spot

Really nice basic USFS campground in the Tahoe National Forest. It's only $20/night.  Each camp site has a picnic table and a fire pit. There isn't much division or privacy between sites, but the sites are spread apart enough so that you don't feel too close to neighbors. 

My Verizon phone had very iffy and spotty service. The sites were dirt/gravel and pretty level and big.  

There are other campgrounds here around the water that are more easily accessible from the main road. This one felt more secluded and nature-ey than the others. 

Pit toilets available. 

Peaceful 

It’s a really lovely national forest park  clean park spots have tables the views are beautiful and the camp host super friendly
