Little Lasier Meadows Campground

About

Little Lasier Meadows Campground is an equestrian-focused facility situated in a scenic meadow setting near Jackson Meadow Reservoir, approximately 32 miles north of Truckee in the Tahoe National Forest. The campground provides 11 sites specifically designed for campers with horses, featuring hitching racks at each site and a shared horse corral. At 6,511 feet elevation, the area is surrounded by lodgepole pine and fir trees with views of the Sierra Crest and English Mountain. The location serves as an excellent base camp for horseback riding with direct trail access to the Pacific Crest Trail via a half-mile connector trail. Jackson Meadow Reservoir nearby offers opportunities for fishing rainbow and brown trout, swimming at the designated beach, and non-motorized boating. The surrounding area is also popular for hunting, hiking, and mountain biking. Bear-resistant food storage is required as bears frequent the area. Fire restrictions may be imposed during hot, dry conditions. The campground provides vault toilets and drinking water from a hand pump, but no hookups, showers, or cell service are available.
