One of our favorite camp grounds due to its spacious camp sites and proximity to Truckee, Boca and Stampede.
Brent Blumenthal
Camp host was rude, unfriendly and no help at all. Why even be a camp host if you hate everybody and everything.
Josey McGuire
Great little man-made reservoir. You can hear the traffic on 89 a bit but otherwise a lovely, easy camping spot.
