About
Aspen Group Camp sits alongside Jackson Meadows Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest at approximately 6,100 feet elevation. The campground offers three distinct group sites designed for larger parties. The Spring unit is the largest, accommodating up to 50 people, while the Hill and Ridge units each hold up to 25. Each group site is equipped with picnic tables, grills, and campfire circles. Vault toilets and drinking water are available. Jackson Meadows Reservoir offers excellent recreational opportunities including boating, canoeing, waterskiing, swimming, and fishing for rainbow and brown trout. Note that due to concerns about invasive Golden Mussels, the Nevada Irrigation District has closed the boat launch to motorized boats. The Pacific Crest Trail passes nearby, and the surrounding area provides good hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. The campground is reservable through Recreation.gov and typically operates from late May through mid-October, weather dependent. All three units can accommodate RVs and trailers in addition to tents, though this is a group camping facility designed for organized parties rather than individual site rentals.
