Tunnel Mills II

What if a campground could deliver the tranquility of a remote forest setting paired with opportunities for outdoor adventure? Tunnel Mills II Campground, nestled in the Tahoe National Forest, offers just that with its shaded sites under towering cedar, pine, and fir trees, and its location along the East Fork of the North Fork of the North Fork American River.

This campground provides a peaceful, natural environment that is ideal for group camping. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to vault toilets, making it a well-suited spot for both RVs and tents. The campground is particularly popular for activities like trout fishing in the river, hiking among the forested trails, and exploring nearby off-highway vehicle (OHV) paths. Its closeness to the North Fork American Wild and Scenic River canyon adds to its allure for nature enthusiasts.

Located south of Interstate 80 via Emigrant Gap, Tunnel Mills II is within a 30-minute drive of notable attractions such as the Grouse Ridge Non-Motorized Area and Donner Summit, which offer additional hiking and exploration opportunities. With its blend of serene surroundings and recreational activities, this campground serves as an excellent base for extended vacations or quick weekend escapes into the California wilderness.
