Luther Pass

Holy Christ for the love of god take away the rv tag. There isn’t a single spot for an rv, I tried it with my 19’ single axle unit and nearly ripped the spare tire off the back the road was so steep.

Seems wonderful for tent campers!

Luther pass, aka South/North Truckee Rd, was extremely crowded. I would suggest arriving early to get a decent spot. We ended up going onto North Truckee Rd and found a pull off wide enough for our truck and rooftop tent.

South Truckee Rd did have toilets about the halfway point of the approximately 2-3 mile long loop. Be mindful that this some spots are right next to a busy Highway.

Overall, would return again and arrive at an earlier time.

Stayed here for two nights. Several others around, but it was quiet & safe. Pit toilets, and river water nearby. Ranger came by early evening to say you’re only supposed to camp in the designated sites, but never returned to enforce the rule, so I was fine sleeping in my car in a small dirt pull out. Great access to the TRT and close to Lake Tahoe.

This is an awesome spot however, the coordinates did not take us to the correct location. There is a sign for camping and the coordinates wanted to take us a quarter mile up the road where there was barely even a pull out. We turned back and checked out the other camp and it was perfect!

20 minute drive from the lake, gorgeous nature, lots of wildlife, and a creek running right by camp which makes for easy sleeping!

Bathrooms located central to the sites, very spacious and dispersed. Awesome location partway up the mountains.

About 12 sites near the Big meadow trailhead. they fill fast! no water, but pit toilet, garbage, fire rings and tables
