About
Annie McCloud Campground is a small, free primitive campground managed by the USFS within the Tahoe National Forest. Located in Nevada County near Truckee, this undeveloped site provides a basic camping experience without fees or reservations. As a primitive campground not listed on Recreation.gov, Annie McCloud offers solitude for campers seeking a more rustic experience away from developed facilities. The Sierra Nevada location at roughly 6,000 feet elevation means seasonal accessibility depending on snow conditions. Campers should come prepared with all supplies including water, as primitive USFS sites in this area typically lack developed amenities. Check with the Truckee Ranger District for current access conditions before visiting.

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.
