Boyington Mill Campground

Set along the serene banks of the Little Truckee River, Boyington Mill Campground offers an exceptional blend of tranquil riverside camping, access to Northern California's top-tier fly-fishing, and a launchpad to explore the stunning Tahoe National Forest. Located just 20 minutes from Truckee, this campground is characterized by its sparse Jeffrey pine and fir surroundings, creating a semi-open atmosphere that pairs natural beauty with simplicity.

The campground features single-family sites equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings, and grills, supported by vault toilets for convenience. Notably lacking potable water, visitors should bring their own supplies. The nearby Little Truckee River is a hotspot for catch-and-release fly-fishing, and Stampede and Boca reservoirs—within a short drive—are perfect for boating, swimming, and fishing. Limited recreational noise and strict food storage requirements due to bear activity ensure a peaceful and wildlife-conscious experience.

Positioned near Truckee, a charming mountain town, Boyington Mill also provides access to hiking trails, off-road vehicle paths, and historical landmarks like the Donner Camp Interpretive Trail and Historic Boca Townsite. This campground is ideal for anglers, outdoor adventurers, and those seeking natural immersion on a quiet weekend getaway or an extended visit.
