Prosser Family Campground

Can a campground offer both a peaceful forest retreat and prime access to water recreation? Prosser Family Campground, perched along the western shore of Prosser Reservoir in Tahoe National Forest, does exactly that. This campground provides a tranquil escape surrounded by Jeffrey pine and fir trees, with hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing opportunities only steps away, while the nearby reservoir offers activities like kayaking, fishing, and swimming.

Located just 10 minutes north of the historic Truckee, California, Prosser Family Campground balances serene natural beauty with convenient access to a charming mountain town. Each of its 29 campsites is equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst the wilderness. Potable water is available, and firewood can be purchased on-site. The campground is particularly suited for tents, trailers, and RVs ranging from 20 to 60 feet in length. For those seeking even more adventure, the Overland Emigrant Trail and nearby Boca and Stampede Reservoirs are within a 30-minute drive.

Prosser Reservoir itself is a hub for serene water activities governed by a 10-mph speed limit for boats, preserving its quiet, family-friendly atmosphere. Whether planning a family weekend, a quick outdoor getaway, or an extended exploration of Tahoe’s natural wonders, Prosser Family Campground offers a balanced blend of recreation and relaxation in a picturesque alpine setting.
