Markleeville Campground

Set against the gentle flow of Markleeville Creek and shaded by towering Jeffrey pines and cottonwoods, Markleeville Campground offers an intimate and tranquil camping experience perfectly suited for outdoor enthusiasts seeking simplicity and nature's charm. With just ten first-come, first-served campsites, this campground is ideal for tent campers and smaller RVs (up to 24 feet), ensuring a quiet and uncrowded atmosphere. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food storage, and amenities include vault toilets and seasonal potable water.

Its proximity to the East Fork of the Carson River makes it particularly popular with anglers, while hikers and mountain bikers will appreciate the scenic trails in the surrounding Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. For those seeking respite, the nearby hot springs provide a relaxing day trip option.
