What campers say

Prosser Family Campground is a scenic, well-kept spot for dry camping near Truckee with roomy, mostly flat sites under pine trees. Hosts are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though staffing can be thin at times. Vault toilets are generally adequate but may go longer between services during busy periods. There are no hookups and water isn’t always available, so plan accordingly. Reservoir access requires a short walk or driving a rough, steep dirt road to a boat launch; shore areas can be mucky, making kayaking more pleasant than swimming. Good base camp for nearby Lake Tahoe activities.
