Little Lasier Meadows Campground is a horse camp near scenic Jackson Meadow Reservoir, approximately 32 miles north of Truckee, in the Tahoe National Forest. The location provides a great base camp for a wide range of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and hunting. The Pacific Crest Trail passes just half a mile away from the campground. This facility is operated and maintained by the Tahoe National Forest.
Jackson Meadow Reservoir offers excellent opportunities for boating, canoeing, water skiing, swimming and fishing. Anglers will find rainbow and brown trout. A boat ramp is located at Pass Creek Campground. A designated swim beach is nearby. A portion of the Pacific Crest Trail meanders a half-mile near the campground. Hunting and biking are popular activities in the surrounding area.
The campground offers equestrian sites for campers with horses. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings and hitching racks. A shared horse corral is on-site. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided.
Nearby Jackson Meadow Reservoir is situated in a rolling forested valley, where visitors are awarded beautiful views of the Sierra Crest and English Mountain. The campground lies in a grassy meadow surrounded by lodgepole pine and fir trees, at an elevation of 6,511 feet.
Jackson Meadows Reservoir and Recreation Area, numerous hiking, biking, and equestrian trails including the Pacific Crest Trail. A connector trail links the campground to the PCT only a half mile away. Milton and Bowman Reservoirs, and the Grouse Ridge Non-Motorized Area are also nearby.
From either east bound or west bound Interstate 80 take exit 188 to Highway 89 north to Sierraville. In 14.5 miles turn left onto Forest Road 07, at the Little Truckee Summit. Drive approximately 15 miles to Forest Road 70 and turn left. Cross the steel bridge and turn left, then go one mile to campground entrance on the left.
Some sites are on the side of a hill. They are listed as rv sites but impossible to level. Dry camping setup. Fairly quiet.
Just returned from Little Laiser horse camping. It's a beautiful spot but was disappointed that although this is a HORSE camp 5 of the 11 sites were occupied by non horse campers. (Which is reflects in 3 star rating.) With so many campgrounds available to the non horse community I dont understand why they are allowed here. Most horse campgrounds are maintained by local horse organizations, this one by Gold Country Trails Council. In fairness the reservation site does not say horses are required. Also note that once deer hunting season opens the campground is heavily occupied by hunters.
Great campsite to go to. So quiet and peaceful surrounded by a dense forest of pine trees. You don't need a horse to stay here neither traditional tents & rv's are welcomed. Very close to the lake short drive. The only downsides are the bathrooms have no flushing toilets & one water faucet that you have to pump in order to get water out of, kind of like the old western days. Also don't think about being on phone because there is no service so no social media. No paved roads to get into campsite neither but it is nicely gravelled so the road isn't to bad. Great forest scenery creeks all around beautiful forest. I highly recomend this campsite especially if you want quiet & peace. Took a drive to see other campsites around reservoir and they are paved but way more people and looks as if those campsites are close to each other. This campsite on the other hand has but only a handful of spots maybe like 11, and plenty of space between them. Much quieter
