What campers say

Upper Little Truckee Campground sits right on the river, with easy fishing and nearby trails. Camp hosts are repeatedly praised for being helpful and attentive. Sites are generally spacious and clean with potable water and available firewood; large rigs and families report it works well. Vault toilets are kept clean, though portable toilets have been used at times and may be less pleasant. The campground is close to the highway, so daytime traffic noise can be noticeable but evenings are quiet. Some sites are rocky with little shade and dirt can be dusty; bring bug spray near the river and secure food in vehicles (no bear boxes).
