Boyington Mill Campground is located along the Little Truckee River, just 20 minutes from Truckee. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing, abundant hiking opportunities and off-road trails. Stampede and Boca reservoirs are nearby for boating and swimming. This facility is operated and maintained by the Tahoe National Forest.
Fly-fishing for rainbow and brown trout in the Little Truckee River is a popular activity enjoyed by visitors to the campground. The surrounding area offers hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicle trails.
The campground offers single-family campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no drinking water available at the site.
The campground is situated on the banks of the Little Truckee River, which is known as one of Northern California's best catch-and-release fly-fishing streams. It is situated among sparse Jeffrey pine and fir trees and shade within the campground is limited.
Boca Reservoir is a couple miles south of the campground. Stampede Reservoir is less than six miles north. Boating, water skiing, swimming and fishing are popular activities on both scenic lakes. Lake Tahoe is located about 35 minutes from the campground and offers excellent boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking and scenic driving opportunities, as well as popular dining, shopping and lodging options. Truckee, 20 minutes away, offers all the amenities of a year round recreational mountain town including interstate highway connectivity, top notch restaurants, resorts and hotels, grocery stores, gas stations, shopping, and historic sites. Other recreational opportunities include Historic Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail, Donner Camp Interpretive Trail, Overland Emigrant Commemorative Trial, Stampede Reservoir Recreation Area, Prosser Pits OHV area, and numerous hiking, mountain biking, and OHV trails.
From Truckee, travel east on Highway 80 for 10 miles, to the Hirschdale Road exit. Follow Hirschdale Road approximately five miles north, to the campground.
So pretty! Kind of close to the main road but also right on the water
One of the cleanest campgrounds I've visited .. The restrooms are well kept and ventilated ... Most of the camping sections , or spots are nice and shaded for those hot summer days ... The surrounding area is Beautiful!!.. Boca Lake is about 4 or 5 miles away and a small river or brook runs right next to the grounds , and there's many trails to explore or hike !.. It's a fun weekend trip to plan !
Small but nice campground right off of Stampede Meadows Rd along the river. The river drowns out the noise of any cars or campsites. Very peaceful for a campground.
I like the simplicity of this campground come in and if no reserved sign you can purchase any spot. Camp is very clean for no host. Rangers come by frequently and are friendly. Nice to camp to the sounds of the river.
Lovely little campsite right next to the river. Camp hosts were very nice. Stayed 4 out of 5 nights planned as weather had other plans for the 5th. Regardless of that, the trip was amazing and the campground was wonderful. Will definitely stay here again next on the next camping trip to Truckee.
