This it's one of the best places to camping . You can walk round hiking or relaxation places
Amazing lil spot right along the Truckee river. Clean camp and kind host.
Love this campground ! Super close to Truckee and Palisades, plus walkable to the Truckee River. Good campsites and a really nice camp host. A little bit of road noise but the river drowns it out.
This is a small Forest Service campground off of Highway 89. Running water and pit toilets (that were very clean). You can hear the traffic noise off of 89, as you are right beside it, but it is only 10 minutes from Donner Lake where we spent much of our days. It was a good place for a few days and the other campers were very quiet. It had a good feeling overall. I was in campsite 22.
A great campsite. Clean bathrooms unless it’s a day off for the campsite hosts. I believe these are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Big bear boxes. Nice path to walk to the river. Less than a 1/4 mile. Very pleasant environment.
