About
Logger Campground is a large, developed campground on the south side of Stampede Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest. Located on the Little Truckee River approximately eight miles above its confluence with the Truckee River, the campground is surrounded by ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, and fir trees with sagebrush dotting the forest floor. The reservoir offers excellent boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing for rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon. The campground features over 240 sites organized into six loops: Cross Cut, Iron Ox, Steam Donkey, Whistle Punk, Ox Bow, and Double Bit. Sites accommodate tents and RVs, with single, double, and triple configurations available. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided throughout. A dump station is located a quarter mile from the entrance. A boat ramp with trailer parking sits adjacent to the campground. The surrounding area offers extensive hiking and OHV trails, including the Commemorative Emigrant Trail for hiking and mountain biking. Boca Reservoir is 10 minutes south for additional water recreation. Black bears frequent the area, so proper food storage is required.
