Located on Markleeville Creek, in the shade of Jeffrey pines and cottonwood trees. Generally open late April through early September.
From Carson City or Minden, Nevada: 1. Take Highway 88 approximately 14 miles to the junction with Highway 4/89 at Woodfords, California. 2. Turn left on Highway 4/89, proceed for approximately six miles to the Markleeville Campground entrance on the north side of highway (approximately 1/2 mile past the small town of Markleeville).
Hidden gem, Josh the camp host is terrific! Shade & sun in each campsite, Markleeville Creek borders the site. In our opinion, this is the best one in the Markleeville area. First come-no reservations.
Nice quiet little place on the river, with a dozen or so sites. Note that it is surrounded by private property, so if your hiking, you will need to drive somewhere
Beautiful campsites. Quick walk to the river. Decent fishing. Outhouse style bathrooms. A lot of space between campsites.
We had an awesome experience until we had to evacuate due to fire. No real flushing toilets or bathrooms but otherwise the perfect campground. Steps from the river, quiet and beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous! The locals were so friendly and fun. Really got to relax and take in the beauty.
