About
Boca Rest Campground is located along the northeastern shores of Boca Reservoir in Tahoe National Forest, approximately 20 minutes from Truckee, California. The campground offers 39 well-spaced sites, with several located directly along the waterfront. The landscape is characterized by open areas dotted with sagebrush and scattered pines, providing minimal shade. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring with BBQ grate, and bear locker. Boca Reservoir spans over 900 acres and is a popular destination for boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing. An unimproved boat launching area is located due south of the campground, while a developed boat ramp is available on the west shore. The nearby Little Truckee River offers catch-and-release fly-fishing opportunities. The campground provides direct access to designated OHV routes, making it popular with off-highway vehicle enthusiasts. Other nearby attractions include the Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail, which showcases the history of the boom-and-bust town of Boca, and Stampede Reservoir, located 9 miles north. Lake Tahoe is 30 minutes away, offering additional recreational opportunities. The campground operates seasonally and provides vault toilets, but potable water is not available, so campers should bring their own drinking water.
Directions
From I-80, take the Hirschdale exit. Drive north on Hirschdale Road approximately 3 miles to the campground.
