About
Logger Campground is a large developed campground situated on the south shore of Stampede Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest, approximately 30 minutes north of Truckee, California. The campground offers over 240 single, double, and triple-family sites spread across small hills in a mixed forest of ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, and fir trees with sagebrush understory. All sites are within walking distance of the reservoir and feature picnic tables, campfire rings, and grills. Paved roads provide easy access throughout the campground. Stampede Reservoir is a premier destination for water-based recreation including boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing. Anglers can target rainbow and brown trout as well as kokanee salmon. A boat ramp is located adjacent to the campground with trailer parking available. A dump station is also on-site. The nearby Little Truckee River offers excellent fly-fishing opportunities with special restrictions in place. The area provides extensive trail access for hiking, mountain biking, and off-road vehicles. The popular Commemorative Overland Emigrant Trail can be accessed directly from the campground and stretches over 15 miles west to Donner Picnic Area, where an interpretive trail tells the story of early pioneers. Additional nearby recreation areas include Boca Reservoir, Prosser Reservoir, and the Prosser Pits OHV area. Bear activity is common in the area; food storage precautions are required.
