Quiet at the far end, Findley Campground sits within Tahoe National Forest near Jackson Meadows Reservoir, running from late April through mid-October at $24 per night. The campground accommodates rigs up to 80 feet, though site leveling varies considerably: pull-through sites dip and rise, making it harder to get level, while back-in sites tend to sit flatter. Water access requires a walk with noticeable elevation gain on the return, worth noting for anyone with mobility limitations. OHV activity in the Jackson Meadows area generates significant noise, and campers who prefer a quieter stay should factor that in. Those exploring campgrounds around Tahoe National Forest will find Fir Top Campground a short distance east as an alternative.
