About

Annie Mcloud Campground is a rustic, no-fee camping area located along the shores of Prosser Creek Reservoir in Tahoe National Forest, just north of Truckee, California. Situated at approximately 5,715 feet elevation in the Truckee Ranger District, this primitive campground provides a quiet retreat for campers seeking basic amenities and easy access to water recreation. The campground offers vault toilet facilities but does not provide running water, so visitors should come prepared with adequate water supplies. The reservoir setting provides opportunities for fishing, boating, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada. The area is surrounded by coniferous forest typical of the Tahoe National Forest. Due to its elevation and location in the Sierra Nevada, the campground is typically accessible only during the warmer months when snow has melted and access roads are clear. Winter conditions bring significant snowfall that closes the campground and surrounding roads seasonally.

From I-5, take Exit 736 for State Highway 89 towards McCloud. Follow Highway 89 east for 10 miles to McCloud. Turn right at the Chevron Station onto Squaw Valley Road, then make an immediate left into the area for McCloud camping destinations.
