Sacramento Pass Recreation Area
Reviewed Apr. 9, 2022

Fantastic & free!

Great spot right off Hwy 50. There’s an upper campground and a lower one, so keep driving down the road if the first one is full. Less than a dozen sites total. It’s all first come, first served and no camp host/ranger. The upper camping area has covered picnic tables. The lower sites are a bit more sectioned off with trees and brush. All seem to have fire pits, but you’d have to bring your own wood. There are only pit toilets, no running water, but you can dispose of garbage at the dumpster near the entrance. The rock formations here are super cool and my kids had a blast climbing on them. We also took the ~3 mi Sac Pass Trail from the campground, it’s not that well marked but we figured it out.
