Boca Campground
Donner, CA
Boca Campground sits on a plateau above Boca Reservoir in Tahoe National Forest, about 15 minutes northeast of Truckee at roughly 5,640 feet elevation. It has 26 single-family sites shaded by Jeffrey pines and firs, some with direct reservoir views, each with a picnic table and fire ring with grill; there is no drinking water on site, only vault toilets.
Boca Reservoir draws boating, water-skiing, swimming, and fishing, and the nearby Little Truckee River is known for catch-and-release fly-fishing, with hiking, biking, and off-road trails in the surrounding area. It's a straightforward basecamp for a rider looping through the Truckee and Donner corridor. Note that the placeholder website on file for this entry carries little real content - the facts here come from the Forest Service's recreation.gov listing instead.
