About
Tunnel Mills II Group Campground sits in a remote location of the Tahoe National Forest, accessible via Texas Hill Road from the Emigrant Gap exit on Interstate 80. The campground is positioned along the East Fork of the North Fork American River, surrounded by a forest of cedar, pine, and fir trees that provide ample shade. The facility offers two group sites, each accommodating up to 30 people and six vehicles. Site 1 accepts both tents and RVs, while Site 2 is designated for tent camping only. Each site includes picnic tables and campfire rings with pedestal grills. Vault toilets are available, but there is no potable water on-site; campers must bring their own or purify water from the creek. Drinking water can be obtained at North Fork Campground, located about a mile north. The area has no cell phone service. Rainbow trout fishing is popular on the river, and the surrounding area offers numerous hiking and OHV trails. Foot trail access to the North Fork American Wild and Scenic River canyon is nearby, and additional trails can be found at Grouse Ridge Non-Motorized Area and Donner Summit. Fire restrictions may be imposed during hot, dry weather conditions.
Directions
From eastbound Interstate 80 take exit 158A or westbound Interstate 80 take exit 158B toward Emigrant Gap. After exiting turn right on Texas Hill Road. Continue on Texas Hill Road for about 8 miles and turn right into the campground.
