Boca Campground

How often does a campground offer panoramic reservoir views, abundant outdoor activities, and the rugged charm of a rustic experience? Boca Campground, perched on a plateau above Boca Reservoir and just 15 minutes from Truckee, delivers all of this and more. This Tahoe National Forest destination is known for its open, pine-dotted sites, breathtaking views of the water, and easy access to a wealth of recreation.

The campground features 20 single-family campsites, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring with a grill, and secure bear lockers for food storage. Vault toilets are available, but no drinking water is provided, so campers should come prepared. The lack of modern amenities reinforces its authentic, nature-immersed feel. Mature Jeffrey pines and firs lend occasional shade to sites, some of which have direct reservoir views, while others are better suited for tents or smaller RVs.

Boca Reservoir is the main draw, offering boating, fishing, swimming, and watersports. A nearby boat ramp ensures easy water access. For land-based adventures, the surrounding Tahoe National Forest is crisscrossed with trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and OHV use. Drive under 30 minutes to explore attractions such as the historic Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail, Stampede Reservoir, or the charming mountain town of Truckee, which offers excellent dining, shopping, and year-round amenities.

If you're seeking a serene and activity-filled camping experience with a touch of history and a side of rugged charm, Boca Campground is a standout choice. Its location and features make it perfect for both weekend getaways and extended escapes into nature.
