***Attention:**** Due to the threat of golden mussels, these boat launches will be closed to motorized watercraft for the 2025 season: 1) Jackson Meadows Reservoir boat launches (Pass Creek and Woodcamp) and 2) Bowman Lake. You may still launch non-motorized watercraft from these boat launches. For more information, about the golden mussel and how to do your part to reduce the threat of introduction, please read below and visit: *[*https://www.nidwater.com/jackson-meadows*][1]*.* * The non-native, highly invasive golden mussel was discovered in Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in October 2024. Once established, they can affect flood control by reducing water flow and contribute to harmful algal blooms. Please contact the waterbody you plan to visit for latest information about launching requirements. Since golden mussels and their larval offspring are very small, they may easily go unseen on your watercraft. To keep our favorite lakes and rivers free from this risk, please Clean, Drain, Dry equipment and watercraft before and after entering a waterbody: *[*https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28993*][2] [1]: https://www.nidwater.com/jackson-meadows [2]: https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28993

About

Findley Campground is located on the western shore of Jackson Meadows Reservoir at 6,100 feet elevation in Tahoe National Forest. The campground sits within a rolling forested valley of pine and fir trees, offering views of the Sierra Crest and English Mountain. As part of the Woodcamp Recreation Area, campers have access to excellent water recreation opportunities including boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing for rainbow and brown trout. The campground features 14 campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. A nearby boat ramp provides reservoir access, and a designated swim beach is located within the recreation area. A half-mile interpretive nature trail winds through the adjacent Woodcamp Campground, and a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail meanders along the reservoir's east side. The surrounding area offers opportunities for hunting, mountain biking, and hiking. The campground is operated by Nevada Irrigation District in cooperation with Tahoe National Forest. Access requires driving 18 miles on Forest Road 07 from Highway 89, then continuing approximately four miles past the reservoir dam on paved and gravel roads. Bears frequent the area, and approved food storage containers are required.

Directions

Take Interstate 80 to the Truckee/Highway 89 North exit. Follow Highway 89 north for 17 miles to the Jackson Meadows turnoff. Travel west on Forest Road 07 for 18 miles to Jackson Meadows Reservoir. Proceed across the dam and continue on paved/gravel road for approximately four miles. Turn left at the Woodcamp Recreation Area sign and proceed to the campground.
