Silver Creek-truckee

Very peaceful view along the river and nice to have the sound at night. Downside of site 23 is you have to carry things to site, which I missed but overall great experience.

First time camping in CA, we drove down from WA. Lovely camping spots with access to the Truckee River along a short trail. Brought my fly rod and caught a couple of rainbow trout. Site #4 had a bit of privacy, was near the water fill up, restrooms and the garbage. The campground manager was friendly, and camp ground was a good loop to walk our dogs in the mornings. Would recommend and would rebook for future trips.

Only about 22 min drive from North Lake Tahoe with a nice river running behind the camp ground and a campground trail alongside that same river with beautiful views. We had one of the "walk in" sites - we had to walk down from a small parking lot to our site. It's a bit steep, a bit rocky, and not even a half of a mile so it's not real hard but if you have any sort of physical ailment, these sites definitely aren't for you. That said, the walk-in site was beautiful because it was practically overlooking the river. Bring some mosquito repellent and enjoy the amazing view each morning :)

2 things to keep in mind:
1) DISHES: There is running water from spigots but they don't allow washing of dishes - I ignored this (and no one said anything to me about it) since I think washing a few dishes is better for the environment than using a bunch of disposable stuff. So just FYI: There's no sink for washing dishes at the camp.
2) BATHROOMS: The bathrooms were very clean and smelled nice when we arrived on Friday but by Sunday they really stunk and there were a couple of times without toiletpaper - overall still better than most campgrounds for sure! Not a big deal imo (because I'm camping afterall!) but just a heads-up!

beautiful location. Yes, the road is noisy, but if you are close to the river you don't notice. The camp host is really nice and helpful!

Campground site was clean and campers were largely respectful of one another. We know the USFS is doing their best under difficult conditions precipitated by executive branch management.

Fund public parks

Perfect site - literally steps from the Truckee River. Location between Tahoe City and Truckee was perfect!

Great campground with river access.

Great spot close to Tahoe city and the lake!

I love the campgrounds. This particular host didn’t check the DARs and drove into our campsite at 12 waking us up from our nap. Stating he’s checking campfire rings. However when a neighboring camper in 27 had a fire at night and in the morning he did not come by. We do not set fires while camping as I’ve worked in recreation the last couple seasons out of the Nevada city office. Other than that it was great. Bathrooms hadn’t been cleaned in about 5 days according to the log on the bathroom door.
