About this campground

Boyington Mill Campground is located along the Little Truckee River, just 20 minutes from Truckee. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing, abundant hiking opportunities and off-road trails. Stampede and Boca reservoirs are nearby for boating and swimming. This facility is operated and maintained by the Tahoe National Forest. The campground offers single-family campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no drinking water available at the site. The campground is situated on the banks of the Little Truckee River, which is known as one of Northern California's best catch-and-release fly-fishing streams. It is situated among sparse Jeffrey pine and fir trees and shade within the campground is limited. Fly-fishing for rainbow and brown trout in the Little Truckee River is a popular activity enjoyed by visitors to the campground. The surrounding area offers hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicle trails.

What campers say

Small, simple riverfront campground with a classic, parking‑lot layout. Sites sit along the river, offering pleasant water sounds and easy fishing access, though banks can be steep and the water cold and fast. Facilities are minimal: a single pit toilet, no potable water, no dumpster—pack in/pack out. Rangers and camp hosts are generally friendly, and a few spots are first‑come, first‑served (signage may be confusing). Campsites are fairly close together with limited privacy and some large rocks in the parking area; best for low‑key, convenient river access rather than extended backcountry stays.
