About
Boca Campground sits on a plateau overlooking the western shore of Boca Reservoir in Tahoe National Forest, about 15 minutes northeast of Truckee. The 22-site campground is set among mature Jeffrey pine and fir trees, providing some shade in this relatively open setting with views of the reservoir. Each campsite includes a bear locker, fire ring with BBQ grate, and picnic table. The reservoir is popular for boating, water skiing, swimming, windsurfing, and fishing, with a boat ramp located less than a mile from the campground. The Little Truckee River flows nearby and is known for excellent catch-and-release fly-fishing. The Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail, located between Boca Dam and the railroad tracks, showcases the history of the boom-and-bust town of Boca, from its origins as a Central Pacific Railroad construction camp to the Boca Mill and Ice Company and later the Boca Brewery. The surrounding area offers extensive recreational opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and OHV trails, though non-street-legal OHVs must be trailered from the campground to designated trailheads. Truckee is 15 minutes away with restaurants, shopping, and services. Lake Tahoe is 25 minutes away, and Stampede Reservoir is 12 miles north.
