Fishing and lakeside camping draw visitors to Snag Lake Campground, a free, first-come, first-served site in Tahoe National Forest where anglers have reported catching catfish in the lake. Sites sit on a rise overlooking the water, and the campground tends to stay less crowded than others in the Gold Lake Basin. Nearby options include Haven Lake Campground and Goose Lake Campground, both within a mile. There is no potable water on site, so bring enough for your stay or plan to boil and filter from the lake. The pit toilet is older and may lack toilet paper. RVs are limited to 16 feet, and access is by gravel road.
