Prosser Ranch Group Campground is located on the picturesque Prosser Reservoir, within the Tahoe National Forest, about 10 minutes north of Truckee. Visitors enjoy the area for its boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing and abundant hiking and off-road trails.
Prosser Reservoir is a popular location for kayaking, swimming and fishing. Power boating is allowed but a 10-mph speed limit is enforced. A boat ramp is located on-site. The surrounding area offers many hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle trails.
The campground offers one large-group, tent-only campsite, that can accommodate up to 50 people and 10 vehicles. The site is not suitable for RV camping. Picnic and serving tables, a large BBQ, and a campfire circle are provided, along with vault toilets and drinking water.
The campground is situated on the western shore of the reservoir. A scenic forest of Jeffrey pine and fir trees covers the area, while sagebrush dots the forest floor. The site affords views of the reservoir and the surrounding mountains can be seen through the trees.
Boca Reservoir is 30 minutes east of the campground, offering additional boating, water skiing, swimming and fishing opportunities. Truckee, 10 minutes south, offers all the amenities of a year round recreational mountain town including Interstate highway connectivitiy, top notch restaraunts, resorts and hotels, grocery stores, gas stations, shopping, and historic sites, Lake Tahoe is located 30 minutes south and offers excellent boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking and scenic driving opportunities, as well as dining, shopping and lodging options.

From Truckee, take Interstate 80 to Highway 89. Travel along Highway 89 for about five miles, then turn right at the Prosser sign. Continue about two miles to the group campground.
No showers, but you can swim in the lake. There is a lot of room and privacy for your group as the camp is at the end of the road. Great mountain biking. Road biking can be deadly on highway 89 though.
Very pretty lake really quiet. Water was pretty clear and seemed really clean no liter all over the place.
It is so beautiful here. The restrooms are very clean too. The campground is closed right now, but u still can go visit this place. The Prosser lake you can see right from your camp site.
Great spot for our church group. The group campground was nice with a big fire pit, lots of tables and space for many tents.
