Boca Campground

Great location. Excellent host. Nice place to spend a night.

No water is available. However, fees are the same as campsites that provide water.

Very dusty and sites are alongs the unpaved access roads. Traffic passing by frequently leave campsites and equipment in a fog of fine dust.

Numerous campers running very large and loud generators at all hours of the day and night.

after unpacking our trailor the campground host arrived and informed us that we were at the wrong campground. he was kind to let us stay and said he would inform the campground host at the location we should have been. we were just there one night, but plan on returning. thank you

It turned chilly and rainy and we had the campground almost to ourselves on this later in the year trip. We really enjoyed that and the view of the lake from this site is exceptional. However, I precariously slid my way down a steep incline to the lake but almost couldn’t make it back up, so access to the water from this site is almost nil unless you’re a mountain goat.

The site itself is beautiful, with a perfect view of Boca Reservoir. The dirt path down to the lake is a bit steep and slippery, but we went down it a couple times during our stay. The big problem was that we were situated right between two very noisy campsites this trip, and there was no camp host presence, nor any ranger presence until we saw one when we were leaving. One site had at least four vehicles and around 10, perhaps more, people, and it was not a group campsite. They fought a lot and stayed up into early hours of the morning partying. The other side also stayed up into the early hours of the morning, but added music to the symphony of noise. Needless to say, our visit was not peaceful, but the scenery is spectacular. Boca has been a long time favorite of ours.

Beautiful campground, large camp spots, close to the water. Just keep in mind there are no rv hook ups and no water. So bring enough water for your trip. If not truckee is not too far away.. you can always go into town to get some more. Can’t wait to go back again next year.

Nice campground, 5 min away from grocery store

It was very quiet and clean. Beautiful scenery. The only negative was no water and I didn’t know so I had to go make another trip to get jugs of water.
Maybe I missed the notice on the app? Or it wasn't noted ?? We had a wonderful time

Great location for a quick trip from Reno. My dog had a blast swimming and chasing ball.
I wasn’t a big fan of our camp neighbors building a campfire when there were clear signs everywhere to not have fires. Not sure who was supposed to monitor those dangerous fires.

Honestly, not a great experience. The campground was extremely dusty — I don’t understand why they can’t add some grass or at least water it down. There was no water spigot at all, which is a big inconvenience for campers.

Accessing the lake was also frustrating. You have to carry your paddleboard or gear down a steep hill, which isn’t ideal.

Setting up our tent was a whole challenge. The ground was really hard and filled with tree roots and branches. We bent a couple of tent poles trying to get the stakes in — and we weren’t the only ones. A lot of people seemed to struggle with the same thing. Add strong winds on top of that, and it just wasn’t fun.

Overall, it felt like the campground was missing some basics. Wouldn’t return unless they made some improvements.
