Logger Campground is amazing! The camp sites are fully equipped with tables, fire pits and trees! The restrooms are clean and well maintained. The roads are in good shape, there is a boat launch and easy walking paths for access to the lake.

Camped here for 3 nights on Memorial Weekend. This is our third visit. This year was ... Well ... Weird. No water. No Camp Host. No firewood to purchase. Restrooms frequently out of toilet paper. There were no Reservation signs with names and number of nights on the camp sites as there has always been in the past. When checking in IDs and reservations not checked. They just asked the number of your campsite and let you in. I asked one of the workers where the trailhead for Commemorative Emmigrant Trail was, and no one knew. Campsite and lake still gorgeous. Peaceful camping and had a great time, but something is weird there for the 2026 season.

Mid week, very quiet. Plenty of empty sites on the water. But Stampede Lake is low, so it's a hike. Camp host and hostess super cool.

Campground has over 200 sites. Reservations are made at recreation.gov. Pit toilet , fire ring, grill, table & most of the sites are shaded. No showers. Some sites are closer and more congested however the outer sites have more space and privacy. Some sites will give you view and access to the reservoir . Bathroom does smell from the outside when the wind blows however it is clean . No bear box but it does have a big trash bin. Would I go back ? Yes.

August 25, 2022 Logger Campground on Stampede Reservoir is a beautiful setting. It has 251 campsites in 6 separate loops. The Campground Hosts are all the best. There are no services here, but it’s only 10 miles to Truckee RV right at Hirschdale and I-80. They have a full variety or basic needs and gas, propane and fresh sandwiches. Now, the problem here is it’s not visited by the local sheriff or the forestry service often enough. So be a COURTEOUS camper and park in the designated areas, leave your boat trailers at the boat ramp, before leaving put your campfire out with plenty of water, don’t throw Cigerette butts, bottles, cans and other trash in the fire pits. Pick up all your trash also before leaving. Remember, these Campground Hosts are unpaid volunteers and are very helpful so please don’t abuse them. I’ve talked to several of them, good people from all over the America and all walks of life. They have a passion for what they do. Enjoy your camping experience.
