Boyington Mill

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.

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

+ 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.
