Tahoe National Forest Boca Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review

Shade covers every site at Boca Campground, sitting at roughly 6,000 feet in Tahoe National Forest near Boca Reservoir. Sites along the reservoir shoreline run small and close together, while sites set back from the water give more room and privacy. Fishing draws many visitors, with access to both the Little Truckee River and the reservoir itself. Reservations are available, and the campground runs from mid-May through mid-October with a $20 nightly fee. Campers with rigs up to 40 feet can pull in, and pets are welcome. Anglers and paddlers looking for campsites near Tahoe National Forest will find this a workable base for several days on the water.

A nice quiet campground, often with lake views.

Boca is a comfortable little USFS campground with nice lake views.

Some of the sites and their trees are oriented a little uncomfortably for me, but I was able to back my trailer in a way that probably wasn't originally intended and open up enough room for my tow vehicle.

They have picnic tables at every site that I've seen and food storage, trash storage, bear lockers at every site.

There's gunfire across the reservoir, but I scarcely even noticed it and I'm very sensitive to it.

The camp hosts seem pretty unobtrusive.

The sites aren't particularly level, but with a few blocks I was able to get mine close enough.

I was in site number four, which is just a stone's throw from the bathrooms and dumpster. I'm self-contained, so I didn't bother looking at the bathrooms.

It's a very quiet campground. In fact, I was feeling guilty about running my generator half the time.

It was completely booked, so I was only able to get a couple of nights here, but I would certainly stay here again. Moderate levels of shade midday in July, but 83F sure beats 108F in the valley! From Site 4 I had a very clear view to the north, so I had great coverage with Starlink, at least 120 megabits; doing work was certainly a reality for me.

Checkout time is noon, and that's coming up quickly. So, thus ends my review for the moment.

[Edit] One more detail worth mentioning: as I was hitching up to leave, a doe and two fawns wandered through the trees right near the site, completely nonchalant. They weren’t begging, approaching, or acting habituated in a bad way, just quietly moving through the forest like I happened to be parked in their campground. It was a lovely little sendoff and exactly the kind of moment that makes a site memorable.

Water, front and tree shaded campsites

Campsites, along the shores of the reservoir are small and close together. The other sites are larger and have more privacy. All of the sites have shade. Elevation is about 6000 feet. I camped here 9/17/25.

Boca Rest

I spent nine days camping at Boca rest, it is a beautiful campsite. I was there before memorial day weekend so it was fairly empty. The fishing and the little Truckee and the lake was outstanding.
