North Fork Campground

North Fork Campground appears to operate on a first-come, first-served basis. This secluded campground is described as a "little gem" past the busier OHV-filled camps, suggesting it may be less crowded than other nearby options. For the most accurate and current information about reservation policies, particularly during peak camping seasons, it's recommended to contact the managing agency before your trip.

North Fork Campground is located approximately 30 minutes off Interstate 80 along a paved road that varies between one and two lanes. The campground sits alongside the Truckee River in a scenic area. To reach the campground, you'll need to continue past several OHV-focused camping areas until you reach this more secluded location. The drive is on maintained paved roads, making it accessible for most vehicles.

North Fork Campground offers basic amenities including three pit toilets (one is permanently out of service). The campground does not provide water or trash service on-site, though these services are available at nearby camping areas down the road. What the campground lacks in facilities, it makes up for in natural features, with the soothing sounds of the nearby creek creating a peaceful atmosphere. There is limited shade at the campground, so plan accordingly during hot weather.
