Nice river access but exposed

  • the river is right there, most sites have direct access
  • very clean vault toilet, I think all sites have bear boxes
  • super exposed, very little to no shade

Getting the right site is important, most of the sites on the river are right up next to each other. Still, it is a nice location and sleeping with the sounds of the river is pretty sweet.

Small but nice, easy access and next to the river.

Camped one night here during the week and only had one other group there. One of those campgrounds where getting the right spot can make a big difference. I got #8 and I recommend it - it is the one in the corner closest to the river, so you have some privacy and easy river access.

Some of the other sites are pretty cramped and I could see this campground being a bit claustrophobic if it was fully, hence the four stars. But that said, for what it is, I appreciated it. Super easy access too, and only about 15 minutes from Truckee.

No cell reception on Verizon.
