    River spot just down the way from the campsites. So beautiful!
    Karina G.

    I really enjoyed my weekend stay at Goose Meadows. It's a tiny little campsite with at most 8 sites. We ended up making friends with a family down the road because it was that small. There's a river spot very close by if you venture outside of the sites. It's not a necessarily a swimming spot but I loved sitting on the rocks and listening to the water flow. Because this is small campsite there was only one bathroom and no showers sadly. Our sites were directly across from the bathrooms which seemed like it would be a benefit. However, because they aren't running water toilets, they had quite a smell. So when the wind was strong we were reminded of this not so prime location. I highly recommend avoiding those two sites. I believe they were number's 15 and 16. Despite that minor issue I thought it was a wonderful campsite. Even though it had limited sites, the sites were big and far enough away from each other that we never worried about noise or privacy. Would definitely return!

    Site 23

    A cute campground located very close to truckee and right off the highway. There are 2 entrances depending on your campsite number, which might be tricky to locate in the dark (we arrived at 11pm). Our campsite 23 was clean and spacious however it was very close to the highway so had a lot of noise (and lights) through the night. I booked this just a day in advance and this was the only available site, many others were well inside and would probably not have the same issue. We saw the camp host the next morning, he was very friendly.

    Stampede Reservoir is beautiful. Albeit a little chilly even in the summer…read more Easy and wide boat ramp. So beautiful! Busy, but not overcrowded like Tahoe.

    First time camping here and actually enjoyed it. It's a nice campground , close to the stampede…read morereservoir so you just walk down to the water and can swim in it, and plus the drive to this campground is so beautiful, I was mesmerized the whole drive to and from. Just a few things to remember if you decide to camp here though: 1. You can have campfires with the pit, but you will need to bring your own firewood as the camp was sold out when we went and from what we were told by other campers there, they said it was $22 for the firewood. So be prepared to bring your own. 2. It's a bit of hike to get to the water plus if you want to go somewhere more flat and you are coming from the campground you may find yourself walking far to the other side , so keep in mind what you bring and what time you decide to go down to the water 3. There are deers that you may see, even this past weekend that I went , a deer was right by our campsite and close to our tent. 4. If you are tent camping or don't have a trailer and you are to use the bathrooms here.. beware it is pretty gnarly , so when booking a site you may want to be a little away from the bathroom as it does smell pretty bad even from a distant and you will also want to bring your own TP as they always are out by the end of the day into the next morning 5. Regardless if it is summer, bring yourself a jacket and be prepared for the cold , especially if you are tent camping. It get cold here at night and early morning. I was surprised also based off of someone elses review that they said they got talked to by the camp hosts/ ranger , because when we went this camp site on the other side of us were blasting their music and partying all the way till 2am without consequences , so maybe they have became more lenient. But for those that want a quiet camp experience if you are tent camping and don't have a trailer or camper to block out the noise, just be cautious that the sites are pretty close together and you will hear everything especially those that are partying while camping. Overall , I did enjoy this campground and happy to say I had my first woods camping trip here after a long time of not camping in the woods.

    Boca Rest Campground is located along the shores of Boca Reservoir, 15 minutes from Truckee, CA,…read moreand about 35 minutes to the north shore of Lake Tahoe. We chose this site out of last-minute necessity and proximity to Lake Tahoe. It's almost impossible to find last-minute camping, so we were happy to find a spot to car camp and throw some tents down after a long day on Lake Tahoe. The reservoir is very nice and water levels are still high thanks to the dam. Plenty of folks swimming, boating, and paddle boarding. The water temp was quite warmer when compared to other mountain lakes. The campground itself is very bare bones. You have a picnic table and fire ring with vault toilets. You'll want to look carefully at the site map when booking, as some of the waterfront sites are wonderful while others feel more like you're just camping in a dirt lot lol. There's very little shade here, so keep that in mind as well. If you're looking for privacy or quiet time, this is not the campground for you. The sites are squeezed in pretty close together and folks were quite loud into the night. Overall, the location and reservoir make it worth considering when exploring Truckee or Lake Tahoe. Sites are $28 with tax for 6 people. $5 for additional vehicles.

    Five stars, if you don't mind noise…read more 4 PROS: 1) Cheap. $20 a night. That's like a McDonald's Value Meal. (Thanks, Obama). 2) Great location. The Truckee River is a sleepy and underrated river that is safe for innertubing if you know the few spots to avoid. It's a straight-shot, seven mile ride to Lake Tahoe, and at 1.5 miles down the road, 7-Eleven is walking distance, if you wake up early and go get coffee. [That 7-Eleven also has $8 bundles of firewood, which comes in handy when your host is empty-handed) 3) Spacious space with a low fire pit so you can see the fire better, a picnic table, and a bear locker, the bear locker locks with a noise, so it's hard to steal cookies without getting caught. 4) Relatively small, with only 21 spots, which potentially limits some neighbor noise and keeps multiple parties closer together. 4 CONS: 1) The number one complaint for all reviewers is the car noise from the steady flow of vehicles roaring up and down the 89. Tent only spots 22-28 get a little buffer because they're the furthest from the road, closest to the river, and down a small hill. 2) This is likely more rare, but there's a big house across the river, visible from sites 23-28. They hosted a party the night and went from loud to louder throughout the night. They aren't subject to Quiet Hours, and it especially intolerable when they intentionally yelled and hit our tents with flashlights. I kept thinking it was an alien invasion coming to take us away. After a while, I was hoping it was. 3) The first time we went to our hosts at #2 (D & K), they weren't there. The second time, they were out of wood. Had we not bought wood elsewhere we'd be in the dark, literally. So, don't rely on the host for wood. 4) This is minor, but the dirt roads make the Indiana Jones ride look like a block of greased marble. NOTE ON RIVER ACCESS: I expected to be level with the river, or at least able to walk to a clearing for a beachy area, to either climb rocks or wade into the water, but I didn't see clear river access aside a few paths through six feet high shrubs. [Psst, US Forest Service: Clearing a thirty-foot beach area would make for a nice, safe communal space] NOTE ON BUGS: We didn't experience yellow jackets (super late June). I used bug spray to avoid mosquitos. Not a bunch of gnats, like other sites. There are anthills, but only one adventurous ant made it into our tent. Finally, Of the 28 sites, 12 are tent-only. Of the tent-only sites, the #22-28 spots are the best, though you have to use the parking lot and can't keep your car at the site. Having a spot a hundred steps down a hill means it is a little more quiet and private, but packing and unpacking is a little tougher and time-consuming, Plus, you can't keep an eye on your ride to make sure bears aren't tearing it apart to find an four-year-old French fry. #28 is the clear winner having only one neighbor. I would avoid 25-26 because they might share a path to the parking lot. The guy is 25 kept walking through our camp (behind our bear locker), so either the separate path is nonexistent, hard to find, or he's a jabroni. My wife loved 26 for the perfectly spaced hammock trees. I assume #19-21 would be next best, being in the pocket furthest south. #9-11 are trash. I couldn't imagine staying in Spot #10. Like #9 and #11, it's practically in the parking lot, so you'd see more taillights than starlight, but 10 is on the bathroom trail. It should be renamed #2.

    I usually don't write reviews but this place earned it. If you like sleeping next to the freeway…read morewith cars zooming by all through the night then this is the place for you. I am not a perfect person so I don't expect someone else to be but the lack of care and effort was clear. You won't find a piece of toilet paper to wipe your butt nor a light in the bathroom or any running water for that matter. The camp site gives no directions to find your lot. Marker post was broken and lying in the dirt. Also don't be surprised if your camp sight is a picnic bench surrounded by trees. Management comes around once a day to police the area, hard to tell that these people work for the campgrounds with no clear uniform or bedside manner just a random person driving up to your camp sight demanding you listen to their demands. Not a please a thank you or even a name in sight. Don't trust anything you read on the website because they do not or may not even know how to update the website. Safe to say that is my last time staying at silver creek campgrounds.

The spaces offer a good sized lot with parking, and many have fences for pets and privacy. Most all have mature trees among them. There's a nice, shady, grassy area to enjoy a picnic or for lounging, a patio area for sitting and enjoying the view of the Truckee River and Idlewild Park. It's located close to everything Reno has to offer.

I tried to book online but it wouldn't let me so I called the number and spoke to a very pleasant woman who took my reservation over the phone and even offered me a first responder discount! Upon arrival, they were set up for after hours check in and very organized and timely. Chris, the security officer guided us right to our site and was very pleasant. Our site was a premium river side set up that did not disappoint! We backed up to the river with lush trees and greenery all around. There's a beautiful patio with chairs, tables and Edison string lights overlooking the river where we would sip our drinks after a long day of traveling and watch the geese and ducks in the river. There's also a couple of benches and fire pits established for campers to use. There are long term residents throughout the park, and some sites are pretty close together so we were very lucky to have gotten a premium, roomy luxurious site at last minute. We definitely recommend paying the little extra for a river front site. Site 11 & 12 are the best! PS: the staff is very responsive to texts and questions and they were a delight!

The larger of the two sites I had reserved had a BBQ, and two campfire rings available as well as PLENTY of space for tents. Sure, there were a couple sites that had the party crowds, but the sites are so well spaced from one another we were never bothered. Also, the lake was super close to our campsite (would be even closer if there wasn't a terrible drought happening) and we were able to make short walks down to the water. The only reason I didn't give this place five stars is the lack of parking, for such a large site. We had 7 people in our group, and since the larger site said it could only accommodate 2 cars, I made the assumption that we would need another site to fit 7 people. Nope, the sites were plenty big enough, and essentially wasted the smaller site, since we didn't use it for anything other than parking. We look forward to coming back here in the near future!

There's lots of activities you can do here - boating, jet skiing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and ATV. We weren't too far from the shore that we were able to carry our kayaks to the water. There are no showers there, but they do have restrooms. For RVs,there are no full hookups, just dry camping. The sites are big for larger RVs, and spacious that you're not to close to your neighbors. We stayed at Logger Campground for the 3-day Labor Day weekend. If you have a car, you could drive to the nearest KOA and pay $5 per person to use their showers. The campsites has plenty of shade from the pine trees. There's no wi-fi service in some spots of the campground. For the rate of $23 per night, it's a great deal. We'll definitely be back camping here next summer.
