In Truckee, CA, at intersection of State Rt. 267 and Interstate 80, take I-80 east 5.9 miles to Hirshdale Rd. exit. At end of exit ramp, turn left (to Boca/Stampede) and go 1.1 miles to Boca Dam sign. Turn left onto Forest Rt. 73 and go 0.9 miles to campground on right.
The ground is hard, but it is still worth it! The views are beautiful and the water is great! The walk down to the water can be a little difficult and steep depending on which was you go. Bathrooms are a little far if you camp at the end towards the water.
Im more of a off-grid camping person but this place is amazing. Camp host is nice and the water during the summer is nice and warm. Also big plus next door is land you can go shooting on. Also a plus the restrooms are very clean.
Boca was a great experience! We stayed at site 16. It had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains, perfect distance from the bathroom, and an amazing spot for stargazing! It’s close to the highway, about 5-7 mins. I didn’t have much phone service at the sight with Verizon, but my partner did with AT&T. I definitely recommend for a quick getaway or family vacation!
